Acupuncture is an effective treatment modality for patients with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), an inflammatory lung disease. First Clinical Medicine College of Hubei University of Traditional Chinese Medicine researchers conducted a controlled clinical trial comparing acupuncture with the drug Seretide for improvements in lung function, clinical symptoms, and quality of life for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Acupuncture produced results rivalling that of Seretide (a steroid plus beta-2-agonist inhaler). Spirometer measurements document that the lungs improve significantly from the drug and from acupuncture.

What Our Patients Say
- ~ A breath of fresh air – Ms. Hugh
"I just want to say 'Thank You' for your help with Acupuncture and Acupressure. I appreciated it very much, & received benefits. Also have been helped by your taking the pulse & examining the tongue, and your talking to me about these - most helpful. ... With regard to your treatment & Acupressure with me for about ONE hour! - amazing. I received so much help from that - as if I became more aware of my body. I have written rather than calling in at your clinic, as I did not want to interrupt your work. After my experience of Western Medicine, it was a breath of fresh air, having treatment from you - many many thanks."
