Acupuncture for a Strong Immune System

Published in For the Health of It, Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine, but more recently it has been attracting attention from researchers throughout the world for its ability to strengthen the human body against diseases. Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through a person’s skin at strategic points on the body.

According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, more research has revealed that acupuncture can help regulate the immune system, for example, to enhance anticancer and antistress immune function and exert anti-inflammation effects. These findings may lay the groundwork for how acupuncture could help prevent or treat disease.

In my years as an acupuncturist, I have seen these benefits from acupuncture therapy:

  • Strengthens the overall body to help fight off cold viruses and influenza
  • Reduces recovery time after initial signs and symptoms have gone
  • Provides preventative maintenance
  • Helps energize the body
  • Improves sleep
  • Reduces stress and worry
  • Improves chronic conditions
  • Reduces acute conditions
