Addressing asthma with kinesiology treatments
Explore holistic strategies for respiratory wellness and breathe easier
Asthma is a serious and frightening condition. It must be terrifying for your airways to be inflamed and narrowed - and to be restricted or unable to breathe - occasionally it can tragically be fatal too. So it is gratifying as a kinesiologist to be able to offer treatments that can ease and reduce symptoms of asthma, COPD and other lung conditions - and vastly improve respiratory health.
Like with other health issues, a kinesiologist treats the person holistically, rather than addressing symptoms in isolation. However, these symptoms (and others) will guide the kinesiologist to what the client may require.
Kinesiology treatments can also work alongside conventional medicine and methods, such as inhalers. However, following kinesiology sessions, the client will generally find they need to use their inhaler far less - and eventually not at all. We do a breath test in the sessions and it is encouraging for the client to see that they can hold their breath for longer - and see other improvements - after each treatment.
Kinesiology takes a multi-layered approach to restoring health. Through gentle muscle testing, the body reveals what it needs. In the case of asthma, COPD and other respiratory conditions, this may be Vitamin C and other nutrients, alongside nature’s anti-histamines and specific herbs that support the lungs. A kinesiologist will also work on particular neuro-lymphatic points, which aid lymph flow and waste removal in the body.
Emotions play a part in many illness and ailments too. (The nervous system doesn’t work in isolation. It is inter-connected with other systems in the body, such as the endocrine and lymphatic systems). In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the lungs are strongly associated with grief and the letting go of emotions. In a kinesiology session we use acupressure techniques to help balance the lung meridian and regulate emotions; alongside other stress release and energy balancing methods. (It’s not unusual for tears to come up during a treatment, which is welcome and part of the healing).
It may also be necessary for someone with asthma to reduce (or eliminate) their consumption of cow’s milk, at least for a short while, as this can exacerbate the issue.
There are many tools and techniques available to a kinesiologist, and improvements can usually be seen and felt by the client quickly.
