Allergies, Colds & Immunity

One of the most important things that the body needs to be healthy is immune system regulation. We are exposed to countless allergens, viruses, and bacteria on a daily basis. Building up the body's constitution is an important way to prevent getting sick, or at a minimum, prevent serious complications from getting sick. Acupuncture has been proven to boost the levels of immune system cytokines and T cells to fight off infection. But it can also regulate inflammation that may lead to an overactive immune response which is common in allergies and auto-immune conditions. Patients who receive regular acupuncture note fewer allergy symptoms and better overall immune health.
