Anaesthetists from the University of Heidelberg have found that acupuncture can help relieve the symptoms of bronchial asthma while cutting the hospital's drugs bill.
Patients who participated in the experiment were examined and treated by doctors and students of the anaesthesiologic department. Improvements in the participants' peak flow ratios were recorded, and most reported that they felt better.
