Coughing is a very common occurrence in childhood. It can appear as a result of infections, allergies, or chronic conditions such as asthma.
When the cough persists longer than usual or doesn’t respond to medication, parents turn to complementary medicine – especially acupuncture.
How Does Acupuncture Work?
Chinese acupuncture is based on the concept of energy flow in the body, “Qi,” along meridians.
When there is a blockage in this flow, a cough, phlegm, shortness of breath, or general weakness may develop.
Inserting fine needles at precise points encourages the flow of energy and strengthens the respiratory and immune systems.
A Story From the Clinic
A four-year-old girl with a persistent chronic cough came to Shai Davids. After an in-depth Chinese diagnosis, she began a series of gentle acupuncture treatments for children.
Within just two treatments, a noticeable improvement occurred. The girl slept better, breathed more easily, and the cough decreased significantly.
Parents and doctors reported a substantial improvement, which led to a reduction in medication use.
