Acupuncture for Asthma: Lung Channel

Video Transcript

"For treating asthma either acute or chronic, we have certain points we already mentioned. Now we have other points on the arms and the hand, which we can use or even leave the needles there for the asthma condition. One of the points is called a Lung 7, and it's also on the lung channel. So, the lung channel starts from the chest area, the upper chest area, and then goes just past the chest, then follows the inside of the arms, goes all the way to the thumb and ends up at the end of the thumb. So the Lung 7 is a point on this line which we can locate through the hand. So, we usually put the hand like this, and the index finger lands at the place on the lung channel which is 1.5 inches above the wrist line. And this, if you touch that, there is a notch on this bone and that's the Lung 7. So we use this point to either treat acute or the chronic asthma, and then we can thread the needle this way and even tape the needles there for the acute asthma attack."
