Asthma 

Breathe with Ease. Live with Peace.

A Gentle, Rooted Approach to Asthma Relief

At Scottsdale Family Acupuncture, we care for more than your lungs—we care for the rhythm of your breath, the calm of your nervous system, and the life that breath sustains.

Asthma can feel like a limitation. But with the right support, it becomes something you can manage, soften, and even move beyond.

We offer a comprehensive, drug-free path toward respiratory balance—through acupuncture, herbal medicine, and compassionate care.

Because every breath you take is sacred—and you deserve to take it freely.

​

Understanding Asthma, Holistically

Asthma is more than a lung condition. It reflects how your body responds to your world—stress, environment, inflammation, and immune function.

Common symptoms we support:

  • Shortness of breath or tight chest

  • Chronic wheezing or coughing

  • Fatigue after activity

  • Flare-ups triggered by emotion, allergens, or weather shifts

We treat these symptoms as signs—not failures—and work to restore what’s underneath: flow, resilience, and rhythm.

​

How We Help

Our treatment plans are personal, not protocol. Your journey will reflect your body’s needs, your lifestyle, and your goals.

​

Acupuncture for Lung Flow & Nervous System Calm

Targeted acupuncture points help:

  • Reduce airway inflammation

  • Open the chest and ease breathing

  • Support the immune system and prevent flare-ups

  • Calm the nervous system, which often amplifies symptoms

Most patients begin with 2–3 sessions/week, then taper as symptoms improve.

​

Herbal Remedies Tailored to You

Based on your constitution and symptom pattern, we may recommend gentle herbal blends to:

  • Clear phlegm and calm cough

  • Strengthen lung function

  • Nourish the immune and adrenal systems

  • Reduce reactivity to triggers

All formulas are clean, tested, and personalized to work with your body’s wisdom.

​

Lifestyle Guidance for Lung Health

You’ll also receive simple, actionable support:

  • Breathwork and calming rituals for lung expansion

  • Diet tweaks to reduce inflammation and mucus

  • Identification of hidden environmental and emotional triggers

  • Optional faith-based tools for resilience, prayer, and peace

​

Your Healing Timeline

Timeframe What You May Experience

2–4 Weeks: Relief from wheezing, chest tightness, better sleep and energy

​

What Patients Often Say

“For the first time in years, I can go for a walk without worrying I’ll wheeze halfway through.”
“I didn’t know how much anxiety was tied to my breathing until it started to lift.”
“I feel like I’ve been given my breath—and my life—back.”

​

Backed by Research

  • A 2017 study showed acupuncture reduces airway inflammation by modulating immune function

  • A 2011 study in Respiratory Medicine found patients had fewer asthma symptoms and improved quality of life with acupuncture

  • A 2012 clinical trial showed improved lung function (PEFR) in chronic asthma patients receiving acupuncture care

These findings confirm what we see in clinic every day: acupuncture works.​

​

We believe each breath is a gift. Healing begins when we listen to the body, respond with care, and trust the process.
