Acupuncture can aid in restoring lung function but if there is something systemically wrong, more invasive action must be taken. Respiratory issues such as asthma can be difficult to treat, and in most cases, medications are necessary. Acupuncture works to assist the body in restoring normal body processes (in this, case Lung Qi) but oftentimes, inhalers or other types of aids are needed regardless.
So the short answer is...yes, it can help but it will not substitute for western (traditional) medicine.

Andrea Cillo Acupuncturist Bay Shore, New York

Yes. Acupuncture can be very effective in treating and preventing many respiratory conditions from allergies, to asthma, to COPD.

**Jeff Rippey** Acupuncturist Saint Joseph, MO · Accepted Answer

Depends on the specific respiratory problem.

Acupuncture has a pretty good track record with things like asthma, COPD, chronic cough, and allergy. There are a range of bacterial/viral/fungal infections which can affect the lungs and you'd want to combine acupuncture with conventional medicine in those cases. For something more serious, like lung cancer, again you'd want to combine acupuncture with conventional medicine.
