How Does Acupuncture Work for Autoimmune Diseases?
By restoring energy balance, reducing inflammation and modulating the immune system, acupuncture can be a powerful tool in managing autoimmune diseases, significantly improving patients’ quality of life.
Energy Balance and Immune System
In Chinese Medicine, illness is believed to result from an imbalance in the flow of energy, known as “Qi”. Acupuncture works to restore this flow by inserting thin needles into specific points on the body, known as meridians. For autoimmune diseases, this energetic rebalancing can help regulate the immune system, reducing its hyperactivity and, consequently, damage to healthy tissues.
Reduction of Inflammation
Autoimmune diseases are often associated with chronic inflammation, which can cause pain, swelling, and other debilitating symptoms. Acupuncture has been shown to be effective in reducing inflammation by stimulating the release of anti-inflammatory substances in the body and improving blood circulation. This effect can help alleviate symptoms and improve the patient’s overall well-being.
Modulation of the Immune Response
Research suggests that acupuncture can directly influence the functioning of the immune system. By stimulating specific points, acupuncture can help regulate the production of immune cells and cytokines, which are molecules involved in the immune response. This can result in a more balanced immune response, reducing the intensity of autoimmune attacks.
Pain Relief and Improved Quality of Life
One of the most recognized benefits of acupuncture in Lisbon is pain relief. For patients with autoimmune diseases, who often suffer from chronic pain, acupuncture offers a safe and effective alternative. In addition to relieving pain, acupuncture can help reduce fatigue, improve sleep, and decrease stress, all of which can exacerbate autoimmune symptoms.
Hormonal Balance
Autoimmune diseases can cause hormonal imbalances that affect various body functions. Acupuncture can help regulate the production and release of hormones, contributing to hormonal balance. This effect may be particularly beneficial for autoimmune conditions that affect the endocrine system, such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, improving symptoms such as mood swings, fatigue, and metabolic problems.
Complement to Conventional Treatment
Although acupuncture can offer many benefits, it is generally most effective when used in conjunction with other medical treatments. At the clinic, we work in an integrated manner with patients and their doctors to develop treatment plans that complement conventional therapies, providing more complete and holistic care.
