Autoimmune Disease
How Acupuncture Is Helping People Navigate Autoimmune Disease
For those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, mornings can be measured in minutes. How long before the stiffness eases? How long before gripping the coffee cup without pain is a reality? How long before feeling normal kicks in?

How Acupuncture Supports Healing in Autoimmune Diseases
In January 2025, Mayo Clinic researchers and collaborators have described — for the first time — the prevalence of autoimmune diseases in the U.S. Their research, published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, reports that about 15 million people are estimated to have one or more of 105 autoimmune diseases. Treatments can vary but more and more people are looking for alternatives without harsh side effects. Patients are seeking out complementary treatments that address the whole person, not just the symptoms. Among these options, acupuncture stands out as a promising therapy with ancient roots and growing modern validation. continue reading

Using Acupuncture to Manage Autoimmune Diseases
Autoimmune diseases can prove to be intricate and seemingly unsolvable puzzles for many people. And statistics prove this to be true as millions worldwide are impacted by autoimmune diseases ranging from rheumatoid arthritis to lupus, Crohn’s disease, multiple sclerosis, irritable bowel disease, and even Parkinson’s disease. Conventional medicine can diagnose 100 different autoimmune conditions, however the treatments offered don’t completely resolve the issues associated with the disease and in extreme cases, no treatment is available at all. And yet, in the midst of all these medical challenges that autoimmune diseases present, acupuncture emerges as a promising ally, offering relief to those grappling with these often-complex health conditions. continue reading
