Bronchitis is the inflammation of the bronchi in the lungs and Chronic bronchitis is a persistent, extended period of bronchitis, with symptoms of coughing and mucus production, and often recurring each year, lasting for 2 to 3 months, and is a serious health problem.

Chinese medicine perceives chronic bronchitis as a Lung Qi Deficiency, possibly starting as a viral attack, but with many other potential causes, and which then resulted in depleted lung Qi energy. It is often accompanied by phlegm, due to a weakened digestive system (spleen) where the accumulation of water also affects the lungs.

Besides addressing a current acute episode of Chronic Bronchitis, Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine may also help to prevent or resolve future episodes by strengthening the immune system, increasing resistance and immunity against infection, and therefore recurrence of acute attacks will be minimized, in order to treat the disease successfully.

Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine may be used effectively for both Bronchitis and Chronic Bronchitis
