Autoimmune diseases arise from an abnormal immune response of the body against substances and tissues normally present in the body (autoimmunity). In western medicine, the treatment of autoimmune diseases is typically with immune suppression—medication that decreases the immune response. A large number of autoimmune diseases are recognized. Autoimmune diseases can affect almost any part of the body, including the heart, brain, nerves, muscles, skin, eyes, joints, lungs, kidneys, glands, the digestive tract, and blood vessels. How an autoimmune disease affects you depends on what part of the body is targeted. Many autoimmune diseases don’t restrict themselves to one part of the body. For example, SLE can affect the skin, joints, kidneys, heart, nerves, blood vessels, and more. Type 1 diabetes can affect your glands, eyes, kidneys, muscles, and more. No one is sure what causes autoimmune diseases. In most cases, a combination of factors is probably at work.

Strengthening the immunity of the body against tumors and infection is one of the major challenges facing modern medicine. Oriental medicine focuses on boosting the natural immune system itself.

Oriental medicine is one of the newest primary health care professions in modern society. The potential benefits of acupuncture and herbal medicine are widely recognized, and it is steadily being integrated with mainstream health care. More than 15 million Americans have tried acupuncture and oriental medicine since it was introduced in the United States in the 1970s. The risk of side effects from acupuncture and herbal medicine is low and the potential benefits are high. The aim is not only to eliminate or alleviate symptoms, but more importantly to treat the underlying cause, increase the ability of function, and improve the quality of life.

Oriental medicine, acupuncture, and herbal medicine have been proven to
alleviate symptoms of acute and chronic pain, migraines and nausea,
gynecological problems such as endometriosis, numerous
autoimmune diseases such as autoimmune hepatitis, and
even unknown diseases. Acupuncture and herbal dietary
supplements have also been used for weight loss and
skin problems. Furthermore, since natural herbal formulas are
multifunctional, one herbal formula can treat two or
three diseases or symptoms.
