Cough Be Gone: Discovering Acupuncture Points for Relief!

That persistent cough for you reaching the tissues and disrupting your sleep? Acupuncture offers a drug-free, powerful approach to cough relief, and Acubody can help.

In traditional Chinese medicine, coughing is viewed as a result of an imbalance in the energy flow of your body. Acupuncture’s goal is to restore this balance by stimulating specific points in your body. As degree level trained BAcC member acupuncturists, we create a tailored plan according to your individual needs. Some common acupuncture points for cough are:

• Lung 7 Lieque- This point is located at the thumb side of the wrist joint and is a powerhouse for respiratory issues. Stimulating this point can help regulate lung function, descending the lung qi to help wheezing and potentially reducing the severity and frequency of cough.
• Lung 9 Taiyuan- This acupuncture point is found on the inner wrist. Stimulating this point nourishes the lung and is believed to clear phlegm and soothe an irritating, dry cough. 
• Ren 17 Shanzhong- This acupuncture point sits on the sternum, midway between and nipples (level with the 4th intercostal space). Stimulation can alleviate inflammation and tightness in the chest. It can help soothe any kind of cough.
• Large Intestine 4 Hegu- Located on the outer hand, between the thumb and the index finger. This acupuncture point, when stimulated, is believed to clear wind-heat from the body, aiding your immune system in fighting the underlying causes of the cough.
• Stomach 40 Fenglong- Located on the lower leg, the shin, midway between the knee and ankle. Stimulating this point transforms phlegm so helps productive cough or a tight, heavy chest feeling.
