Strengthening the Workhorses
Acupuncture plays a crucial role in strengthening lung qi to combat respiratory infections by targeting specific acupoints that enhance respiratory function and improve the body's defensive qi (wei qi) This in turn, fortifies the alveoli -the workhorses of the lungs, responsible for gas exchange - ensuring they remain resilient against infections. By promoting better blood and lymphatic circulation and reducing inflammation in the respiratory system, acupuncture helps maintain the integrity and strength of the alveoli, enabling them to efficiently filter out pathogens. Consequently, this therapeutic practice supports a robust upper respiratory tract, effectively reducing susceptibility to infections and contributing to overall respiratory health.
