The immune system is a complex and highly developed system, with the purpose of identifying and destroying pathogens. If a person is born with a defective immune system, the individual becomes more prone to infection by a virus, bacterium, fungus or parasite. In severe combined immunodeficiency, the toxic waste builds up inside immune system cells, killing them and thus devastating the immune system. The deficiency of immune system cells is due to improper development of the thymus gland means that T cell production is very less.
Acupuncture and Ayurveda are traditional therapies that have been applied for thousands of years for immune disorders. Acupuncture has recently been attracting more and more investigators throughout the world. In the theory of TCM acupuncture can strengthen the human body to resist diseases. The characteristic that acupuncture enhances resistance is closely related with the immune system, which functions in defence, homeostasis, and surveillance. More and more research has revealed that acupuncture can regulate immunity, for example, to enhance anti-stress immune function and exert anti-inflammation effects.
Immune system and response of the human body are influenced in diseases such as cancer. The anti-inflammation effect of acupuncture may be a very important underlying mechanism of acupuncture in treating diseases. Similarly Ayurvedic medicine has range of natural booster for immunity and energy, enhancing protection against common infections, aiding recovery and restoring vitality and healthy energy levels. These immunity boosters include herbal supplements and Panchkarma treatment, diet, yoga and meditation. Moreover, Traditional Medicine such as Acupuncture and Ayurveda focused on the theory that prevention before the onset of the diseases or intervening in an early stage of diseases is much better than treating after the onset. Preconditioning by acupuncture, which means stimulation with acupuncture before the onset of diseases, has been widely applied from ancient time to present clinical practice.
Acupuncture and Ayurveda medicines can treat a wide range of health conditions, including immune deficiency, by stimulating and balancing the immune system. Acupuncture & Ayurveda can strengthen a weakened immune system by increasing red and white cell counts, T-cell count and enhancing humoral and cellular immunity in patients with immune-related illness.
