Q Can asthma be managed with Korean medicine alone?
A Mild cases can be, but for moderate or more severe cases, combining with an inhaler is realistically safer.
Detailed Answer
For mild childhood asthma, some cases can be managed attack-free with Korean medicine treatment alone. However, in moderate or more severe cases, or when nighttime attacks are frequent, combining with an inhaler is the more realistic approach for the child's safety.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Korean medicine treatment complements rather than replaces conventional care, and over the long term we work toward reducing inhaler dependence.
