Immune System Conditions

Acupuncture for Immune System Conditions

TLC Acupuncture Brisbane can help with Immune System Conditions.

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. Acupuncture has an astounding effect on the immune system and is effective in treating the following conditions:

Cold and Flu
All Viruses
All bacterial infections
All fungal infections

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

Acupuncture is also effective in treating all autoimmune disorders.

The list is extensive, so it’s best for you to contact our clinic manager on 1300 633 385 to discuss your specific condition.
