Naturopathic Immunology
The immune system’s job is to protect us from the outside world. Things can go awry.
Sometimes the immune system is weakened due to life stressors and nutritional deficiencies. Other times it is outmatched by a virulent pathogen. And still yet, sometimes the immune system acts inappropriately, as in allergies and autoimmunity.
Whatever the case, naturopathic medicine and acupuncture are very powerful for fighting infection, increasing immunity when needed, and decreasing allergic or autoimmune inflammatory flares.
When the immune system acts inappropriately, the first step is to see if an aggravating trigger is still in the system, whether it be a virus, parasite, mold or environmental stressor. If caught early enough, the immune system can regain balance. If autoimmune process can not be reversed, the goal is to keep the heat to a minimum, like barely warm coals, as opposed to a roaring fire.
Seasonal allergies and mast cell issues can also be addressed by desensitizing the immune system to the allergen. This can be done through sublingual formulations (under the tongue) and other natural remedies.
