Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a holistic approach to autoimmune support that considers the whole person rather than isolated symptoms. TCM practitioners use a comprehensive assessment process including pulse diagnosis, tongue examination, and detailed health history to develop individualized treatment plans. This approach aims to identify and address the root patterns contributing to a patient's condition.
TCM offers several approaches for autoimmune support, focusing on strengthening the body's defensive qi and supporting healthy respiratory function. Acupuncture may help open the airways and promote immune balance, while Chinese herbal medicine formulas are traditionally used to support lung health. Cupping therapy and moxibustion may also be incorporated to support the body's natural defenses.
