No, you need to go see your doctor. Pneumonia can kill and needs to be treated appropriately and fairly quickly.
Yes, absolutely. It is synergistic when also combined with Chinese herbal therapy.
Research studies show that acupuncture is beneficial for cases of pneumonia. Some studies have found acupuncture is best for stroke patients in preventing pneumonia and others suggest acupuncture will help the patient with reduced severity of pneumonia. With Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) various conditions may be treated by various methods. Sometimes it is better to treat a condition with acupuncture, sometimes it’s better to treat it with herbs, and sometimes it’s better to treat it with both. To me, coughing & lung issues are already difficult to treat and it would be best to use a combination of acupuncture & herbal supplements for their synergistic effects. Check with your primary to see if you would be a good candidate for alternative medicine.
When combined with conventional medicine, acupuncture with herbs can strengthen the immune system to tackle pneumonia.
Absolutely, but it should be combined with dietary therapy like adding better greens such as watercress juice to your diet.
Yes, acupuncture can help you recover from pneumonia. But do it along with whatever your western medical doc is prescribing. Don't stop following their prescriptions because you're getting acupuncture treatments.
Yes, acupuncture is good for pneumonia.
Yes. Acupuncture can be used to treat pneumonia but I recommend you are seeing your medical doctor as well because antibiotics and other interventions may be necessary.
If you know, for sure, you have pneumonia, you need to visit your primary care provider and get a prescription for antibiotics. If you think you have pneumonia, but aren't sure, you need to visit your primary care provider to get properly diagnosed.
Even in younger folks, pneumonia isn't something to let slide - it can be life-threatening if not properly treated.
Short answer: no.
