Asthma and respiratory relief with Care Cure acupuncture

Thu, Oct 29, 2015

From a traditional Chinese medicine standpoint asthma is the direct result of a deficiency in the lung meridian (channel). Once this lung energy becomes blocked, the chi (vital energy) becomes unstable and triggers an immune system response restricting both inhalation and exhalation. This is accompanied by wheezing and sometimes a cough.

Specialists at Care Cure acupuncture clinics clearly differentiate between actual asthma attacks and the periods before attacks. Acupuncture can have a remarkable effect of stopping an asthma attack, and many Care Cure patients experience immediate relief after an acupuncture treatment, feeling that the airway blockage was simply removed.

Local papers and their role in our history

Thu, Oct 22, 2015

There were two local newspapers, The Connacht Champion which actively supported William Smith O’Brien MP and often virulently attacked the Irish Parliamentary Party, and The Galway Express which originally supported the conservative unionist viewpoint, but which gradually became more nationalist until its premises were wrecked in 1920 by the Black and Tans.
