Autoimmune Disease
Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues, leading to chronic inflammation, pain, and organ dysfunction. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture provide a holistic and natural approach to managing autoimmune conditions by reducing inflammation, regulating immune function, and restoring balance to the body.

TCM views autoimmune diseases as a result of imbalances in the body's: Qi (energy), Blood, Yin, and Yang. Treatment involves a combination of acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary therapy, and lifestyle adjustments to restore harmony and strengthen the body’s resilience.
