About The Immune System

Your body’s immune system is essentially it’s security system, the cells, organs and tissues that comprise your immune system help to repel and fight off foreign invaders which can cause infection, illness and disease. Immune system disorders can range from minor annoyances such as allergies to more serious issues such as lupus. Genetics, lifestyle, lack of sleep, diet, stress and various other factors can impact the immune system and contribute to dysfunction.

Clearwater Acupuncture for Immune Support?

According to a study performed by the University of Madrid, Spain, the most favorable immune function effects of acupuncture treatment occur about 72 hours after a single session, persisting about one month after the end of the completed treatment. The immune functions of women with anxiety in the study were significantly improved.

Acupuncture treatment can help the patient’s body regulate immune function while treating the underlying cause of the immune function issues. Acupuncture can reduce symptoms and speed up the healing process in the body. Acupuncture works by stimulating specific acupoints through the autonomic nervous system, causing the immune system to respond with a rise in levels of messenger hormones.
