People with asthma have sensitive airways in their lungs. When exposed to certain triggers their airways narrow, making it hard for them to breathe. The causes of asthma are not really understood but there is often a family history of asthma, eczema or hayfever. Asthma can begin at any age and change over time. Unborn babies whose mothers smoke during pregnancy, and children exposed to smoke in early childhood, have a higher risk of developing childhood asthma. Every person’s asthma is different.

Acupuncture is a method of Oriental Medicine treatment that inserts needles into acupuncture points to alter our physiological functioning. There are hundreds of acupuncture points that influence the flow of energy, or Qi, in the body. Most of the classical acupuncture points exist along meridians that channel the energy up and down the surface of the body and to deeper levels where they connect with the internal organs and other meridians.
The British Acupuncture Council held the first Acupuncture Awareness week from 27 February 2012 to 4 March 2012. Events were held across the country - and included 20 minute taster sessions for people who have never tried acupuncture before, editorial case studies about acupuncture in local papers, radio spots and articles by Claire Nasir (our celebrity sponsor) in national publications such as Closer.
