Acupuncture for a Strong Immune System

Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine and 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.

Research¹ 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.

As an acupuncturist, I have seen many benefits from acupuncture therapy:

• Strengthens the overall body to help fight off cold and flu symptoms.
• Reduces recovery time and combines well with other modalities.
• Provides preventative care and keeps you afloat.
• Helps energize the body and improves sleep.
• Eases the mind and reduces stress and worry.
• Improves chronic and acute conditions and relieves pain.

Schedule an appointment at our Specialty Clinic in Monticello and experience Acupuncture for yourself. I am convinced that Acupuncture can make a difference in your healing journey.
