Asthma is a condition in which airways narrow and swell and may produce extra mucus. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath. In biomedicine, asthma can’t be cured but it’s symptoms can be controlled. From a traditional Chinese Medicine perspective asthma is treated by addressing imbalances and constitutional factors which cause symptoms.
