Q Does Korean medicine treatment reduce the number of asthma attacks?
A Prescriptions that strengthen lung qi and clear phlegm-fluid often reduce both the frequency and severity of attacks.
Detailed Answer
Rather than acting as emergency care to stop an attack immediately, Korean medicine treatment focuses on improving the child's constitution so that attacks become less likely to occur. With consistent treatment, many children show a course in which the frequency and intensity of attacks decline.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Prescriptions that strengthen lung qi lower the hypersensitivity of the bronchial mucosa, helping it react less to external stimuli.
