Q. How long does asthma Korean medicine treatment take?
Mild: 2–3 months; moderate or higher: 6 months–1 year recommended. Reduce airway hypersensitivity with herbs while gradually tapering inhaler usage.
📝 Detailed Answer
Asthma is a condition to control rather than cure. We do not set a period and finish.
The goal of Korean medicine treatment is to reduce the frequency and intensity of attacks and to lessen the degree of worsening with a cold or at the change of season. Such change often has to be judged over a full turn of the seasons, so we view it in units of months.
The measures by which we follow the course are the number of times you use the reliever inhaler, the number of times you wake at night from coughing, and how long recovery after a cold takes.
During this period too, you must continue using the controller from respiratory medicine.
