Immune System Conditions

Acupuncture for Immune System Conditions

TLC Acupuncture Brisbane provided treatments designed to boost your immune system.

Your immune system is a collection of organs, cells and tissues that work together to protect your body from disease. This intricate system is designed to identify cells in the body that are not your own, and eliminate them. These include bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi as well as your own cells which have mutated know as cancer. We are exposed to these cells each and every day and our immune system is in a constant battle to destroy them.  Research shows that acupuncture activates the body’s defense systems (1); and there is increasing clinical evidence that it is effective for various immunological diseases including allergic disorders, infections, autoimmune diseases and immunodeficiency-syndrome (2).

Acupuncture may be useful in the treatment of:

• Autoimmune disorders
• Cold and Flu
• Viruses
• Bacterial infections

Parasites – Acupuncture is not effective at treating parasites however we do prescribe several herbal formulas which may rid the body of parasitic invasion.

The list of immune conditions acupuncture may treat is extensive, so it’s best for you to contact our clinic  on 1300 633 385 to discuss your specific symptoms.
