Immune Support

Acupuncture and herbal medicine can support immune health by helping to regulate the body's natural defenses, reduce inflammation, and strengthen overall vitality. By restoring balance in the body's systems, they enhance resilience against illness and promote faster recovery from colds, flu, and other immune-related conditions.

The various acupuncture point therapies such as laser acupuncture, shiatsu, needling combined with herbal medicine have long been used in South East Asia to support and strengthen the immune system. From this perspective, immune health is closely linked to the body’s overall balance and vitality. When the body is in harmony, its natural defenses function more effectively, offering protection against external pathogens and helping to prevent illness.

Herbal medicines combined with acupuncture point therapy help to regulate and harmonise the nervous system, support organ function, and reduce stress—all of which play a role in immune regulation. By calming the nervous system and reducing inflammation, stimulation of acupuncture points using laser acupuncture, electro acupuncture and needling can help modulate immune responses, making the body more resilient in the face of stress, seasonal changes, and infection.

Our large range of herbal medicines complements this by offering customized formulas that nourish and strengthen the body. Depending on what is needed, the use of herbs that support a balanced immune response can be used in combination with herbs that assist with antiviral support. Together, acupuncture oint therapies such as laser and needling, combined with herbal medicines offer a holistic approach to immune support, addressing not just symptoms, but the root causes of imbalance.
