ACUPUNCTURE USED TO PREVENT ASTHMA IN CHILDREN
When I first learnt about the technique of acupuncture, the thought of sticking needles into children seemed a horrible idea. Over the years, however, I have come to realize that it is almost a painless procedure, and that children are far less afraid of it than adults. Its beneficial effect in the prevention of asthma is well documented, although why this occurs is not absolutely proven. Acupuncture originates from China and is used there routinely in all medical conditions.
While I don’t fully accept all the theories of Chinese medicine, as one Chinese teacher once said to me, it is not necessary fully to understand the workings of the engine of a car in order to drive it. Similarly it is not vital to understand completely how acupuncture works in order to practice it. Chinese medicine is based on the idea that the body functions by taking energy out of the air. This enters either through the hands or feet and is distributed to the different organs of the body through a system of channels rather like a railway network. There are six channels in each arm and six in each foot, making twenty-four in all. These channels follow a tortuous course up the limbs supplying energy to the parts they pass through before all ending up in the brain.
If the energy flow down the channels is easy and uninterrupted, then the organs supplied with this force will remain in perfect working order. Supposing, however, one of the channels becomes damaged, then the flow of energy will be interrupted and problems will arise. In asthma it is the flow down the lung channel that is affected and this shows itself by the development of wheezing and shortness of breath.
It follows that if this flow of energy can be restored then the wheezing can be stopped and normal lung function will resume. This is achieved by inserting acupuncture needles into the relevant channel, at different places. These places are called acupuncture points, and have been mapped out over the years by practitioners of acupuncture. If these needles are then stimulated, either by gentle twisting or by a low frequency electric current, then energy will pass into the channel and the obstruction will be overcome.
I can certainly recommend consideration of acupuncture as a preventive technique if you are against continuous drug therapy or to enhance the effect of the medication. Its major disadvantage is that it takes a considerable amount of time, as each session lasts about half an hour and is given weekly at the outset. It is also vitally important to go to a suitably qualified therapist, as at the present time anyone who wants can set up as an acupuncturist. Your own GP should be able to recommend a suitable one.
To recap, there are basically four methods: breathing exercises; relaxation with or without hypnosis; homoeopathy; and acupuncture. There are others, including herbal medicine, aromatherapy, colour therapy or reflexology, but these are less proven and I am wary of suggesting these on account of the potential severity of the condition. I must confess that with asthma being a potentially life-threatening condition I always recommend initial control with inhalers in all but minor attacks, and only when this has been achieved can the inhalers be slowly reduced by adding an alternative method of prevention. The choice depends very much on personal preference.
