🌿 How Acupuncture Supports Autoimmune Conditions — , & ’s Syndrome ☯️
[ Health Education/ Case Sharing ]
One of our long-term patients has been living with conditions for many years:
💥Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) for 18 years
💥Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) for 7 years
💥Sjögren’s Syndrome (SS) for multiple years
These conditions affected her daily life —
pain, , , , … all happening together.
✨ After starting treatments, she shared some encouraging changes:
💖Wrist and multiple joint pain started to ease
💖Swelling reduced
💖Eyes felt less dry
💖Energy became more stable
💖Overall pain decreased
For someone who has lived with autoimmune issues for so long, even small improvements can feel meaningful.
🧬 How does help?
Autoimmune diseases begin when the immune system becomes and attacks the body’s own tissues, leading to inflammation, dryness, pain, and fatigue.
Acupuncture supports the body by:
🔹 Modulating immune activity
🔹 Reducing inflammation
🔹 Improving circulation to joints
🔹 Supporting better sleep and stress balance
🔹 Enhancing overall recovery
🌱 TCM Perspective
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine viewpoint, autoimmune conditions often relate to imbalances such as:
▪ Qi & Blood deficiency
▪ Yin deficiency with internal heat
▪ Phlegm-damp accumulation
▪ Wind-cold-damp obstruction in the joints
Acupuncture aims to restore so the body stops “attacking itself” and starts healing.
🌟 Her progress reminds us:
Autoimmune diseases take time, but gentle and consistent treatments like acupuncture can offer real support and relief.
