TCM

Chicago Lung Health & Wellness Natural Therapy

Traditional Chinese Medicine is based upon the premise of balance between the body’s core organs and the structure (Yin) and function (Yang) within each organ. COPD is considered a lung Yin deficiency in Traditional Chinese Medicine. 

 

​The use of acupuncture can assist in the restoration of lung function. Traditional Chinese Medicine that targets lung Yin and acupuncture has been improving patients quality of life.*

Patient Success

Just a quick note to say how pleased I am with the results of your treatment. When I started with the treatment, I was on 2 liters of oxygen 24 hours a day. I now only use the oxygen at night and when doing treadmill 2.8 mph at 3.5 grade for 40 minutes 4-5 times a week. I consider this a significant improvement, and actually don’t have to see my pulmonologist for another year.**
