Wha is the reason why my bronchitis is not cured

Condition analysis:
Hello, There are several causes of chronic bronchitis, including:
-- Inhaled irritants (e.g. cigarette smoking, smog and industrial pollutants). Smoking is believed to be the main cause
-- Viral and bacterial infections that result in acute bronchitis may lead to chronic bronchitis if people have repeated bouts with infectious agents
-- Underlying disease processes (e.g. asthma, immunodeficiency, cystic fibrosis, congestive heart failure, genetic factors)

How can acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine help treat chronic bronchitis?
Chinese medicine perceives chronic bronchitis as a lung Qi deficiency which may or may not have started as a viral attack, but which resulted in depleted lung energy (Qi). It is usually accompanied by phlegm. The origin of the phlegm is usually the digestive system (spleen) which results in the accumulation of water affecting the lungs.

It is reasonable to think that if one can increase his/her resistance against infection, recurrence of acute attacks will be minimized. The use of acupuncture and natural herbs in Chinese medicine serves not only to reduce symptoms during the acute phase of chronic bronchitis; it can also build up the body’s resistance and immunity, in order to treat the disease successfully. Many years of experience in treating such patients have shown this treatment method to be effective and the benefit long lasting, with no accompanying side effects.
