How Acupuncture Helps with Autoimmune Diseases
Acupuncture has been used for centuries to address chronic conditions by supporting the body’s natural healing processes. By stimulating specific points on the body, acupuncture promotes energy flow (Qi), regulates the immune system, and reduces inflammation. This holistic approach helps manage autoimmune symptoms by addressing the underlying imbalances that lead to discomfort and pain, offering a natural way to improve quality of life.
