Boost your immune system with acupuncture: how does it actually work?

Getting acupuncture to boost your immune system means choosing to slow down and take a moment for yourself, while preventing your natural defences from weakening in case of:

  • first signs of a cold;
  • emotional stress
  • overwork;
  • lack of sleep
  • low energy.

With Balance System Acupuncture, we will work on your Taiyin-Yangming energy axis to optimize the functions of your defensive shield against outside aggressions, whether climatic (wind, cold…) or viral.

Acupuncture needles send signals to the central nervous system to release neurotransmitters and regulate your body's immune and inflammatory response. They promote the production of certain immune cells, such as white blood cells, and help you regulate your body's excessive or weakened reactions, for example by lowering stress hormones such as cortisol.
