Autoimmunity is when the immune system of the body either becomes over-active or under-active. There are many reasons behind this.
Acupuncture is known to boost an increase in immunity, so this therapy is certainly a good option for those with under-active immune systems.
However, the goal behind acupuncture is to bring your body back into a homeostatic or 'balanced' state of being. Keeping this in mind, acupuncture can, with the proper treatment, lower the over-active immune system problems.
Acupuncture in conjunction with dietary changes and herbal formulas can get you back on your feet and manage autoimmune symptoms throughout your life. This will greatly increase your quality of life!
I highly recommend you get a thorough checkup with your primary medical doctor and get the necessary blood tests and share this with your acupuncturist before receiving treatment. Make sure your acupuncturist is familiar with autoimmune diseases and knows exactly what to do to help you manage your symptoms!
