When the Body Forgets How to Regulate: How Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine Can Support Autoimmune Health

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Medicine revealed how our immune system keeps peace within the body through special cells that remind it when to stop fighting. Traditional Chinese Medicine has always recognised this same principle — that lasting health depends on regulation, not suppression.

Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can support the body’s ability to self-regulate by improving circulation, digestion, sleep, and recovery. When these systems work together, inflammation often settles naturally.

In my clinic, this whole-person approach has helped people living with autoimmune conditions regain their energy, appetite, and confidence. Healing begins when the body remembers how to restore its own balance.
