ASTHMA & ALLERGIES
Treatment for long-term allergic conditions
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterised by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing. Allergies, on the other hand, are immune responses to substances in the environment that are harmless to most people. Allergies can trigger a range of symptoms, including sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and skin reactions.

How can our treatments help you?
Acupuncture
Acupuncture, a traditional Chinese medicine technique, involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body. It is believed to restore the body’s energy flow (Qi) and promote healing. Acupuncture may help reduce inflammation in the airways, leading to improved lung function and reduced asthma symptoms. Its effects on the immune system may help modulate allergic responses and decrease the severity of allergy symptoms.
Ayurveda
Ayurveda, an ancient holistic healing system from India, considers asthma and allergies to be related to imbalances in the body’s doshas (energetic forces) and impaired digestion. Ayurveda treatments aim to restore balance and improve overall well-being. Ayurveda recommends a diet tailored to an individual’s constitution (dosha) and the avoidance of allergenic foods. Herbal remedies, such as Turmeric and Liquorice, are often used to support respiratory health.
Yoga
Yoga serves as a therapeutic tool for asthma and allergy sufferers by enhancing lung capacity, improving breathing techniques, and reducing stress, which can trigger or exacerbate symptoms. Practices like Pranayama (breath control) and gentle asanas (postures) can help mitigate inflammation, promote relaxation, and improve overall respiratory health.
Tai Chi
Tai Chi, with its subtle movements and deep breathing techniques, can be particularly beneficial for individuals with asthma and allergies. It helps improve respiratory function, reduce stress, and enhance immune response. Regular practice can lead to fewer asthma attacks, reduced allergy symptoms, and improved lung capacity and overall well-being.
