Fine Tuning the Immune System

Historically in China, each town and village would have an acupuncturist that provided services to the local population. Each person living in the area would pay a monthly fee to their acupuncturist. Interestingly, the only time that people would not pay is when they got sick. This is quite a different perspective on healthcare, and lead to the development of a medical system that places great emphasis on prevention of disease, as well as the treatment of chronic and acute conditions.

Subsequently, numerous acupuncture techniques, both diagnostic and treatment oriented, have been developed to bolster and fine tune the immune system in order to effectively ward off potential illness, as well as decrease recovery time and help people feel better quicker when they do get sick

Particularly today, with cold and flu season upon us, the use of acupuncture, both as a preventative measure and as a means to treat active infection, is well indicated. 30 minute sessions are now available that focus on tuning the immune system for optimal health and prevention of illness.
