Are you feeling tired? Do you frequently get sick or have a difficult time shaking off a cold? Perhaps you are looking to boost your immune system in a safe and effective way. If you said yes to any any of these questions Acupuncture may be exactly what you’re looking for.
Acupuncture is a time tested, safe and effective way to boost your immune system. Studies are supporting what Chinese medicine doctors have known for millennia; acupuncture modulates the immune system. They didn’t know that acupuncture can down-regulate allergen specific IgE (an antibody that plays a key role in common allergic diseases), increase percentage of lymphocytes, or correct important ratios of lymphocytes. However, modern scientific research is giving insight into what affect acupuncture is having on these important biochemical markers.
Acupuncture also has the powerful effect of shifting the nervous system out of fight or flight into a relaxed state of rest and digest. When the body is in a fight or flight state, i.e. stress, many potential negative reactions can occur in the body, ranging from development of ulcers, straining the circulatory system by increasing heart rate and raising blood pressure.
Acupuncture is an important tool in helping boost and harmonize the immune system in a safe and relaxing way. Contact us today to schedule an appointment or consultation to experience these benefits and learn more about what Acupuncture can do for you.
