Relieve autoimmune diseases with
Traditional Chinese Medicine
The autoimmune diseases, such as the rheumatoid arthritis, There plates sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, or type 1 diabetes, result from a malfunction of the immune system that attacks healthy cells in the body. These conditions cause a variety of symptoms, including joint pain, chronic fatigue, and inflammation. In Geneva, Biomed MTC offers a holistic approach based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to support patients in managing these diseases, in addition to conventional treatments.
Autoimmune diseases according to Western medicine
In Western medicine, autoimmune diseases are perceived as immune system dysfunctions, where the immune system no longer correctly distinguishes between healthy cells and pathogens, mistakenly attacking them. The exact causes of these diseases often remain unknown, although genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors are involved. Conventional treatments primarily aim to control symptoms and slow disease progression, using immunosuppressants, anti-inflammatory drugs, or corticosteroids. However, these treatments can cause significant side effects and do not always achieve complete remission.
Understanding Autoimmune Diseases
In traditional Chinese medicine
The TCM interprets autoimmune diseases as energy imbalances primarily involving organs such as the kidneys, liver, and spleen. These imbalances can be triggered by emotional factors, such as anger, guilt, or fear, as well as external influences such as diet or the environment. According to this perspective, the immune system is closely related to the body's defensive energy, and a disturbance of this energy can lead to autoimmune reactionsThe goal of TCM is therefore to restore energy balance, strengthen immunity and harmonize organic functions to alleviate symptoms and improve your quality of life.
The benefits of traditional medicine
Chinese for autoimmune diseases
TCM offers a complementary approach to management of autoimmune diseases, aimed at treating the root causes of energy imbalances and strengthening the patient's overall vitality.
Reduction of inflammation and pain
Acupuncture and herbal medicine are used for reduce inflammation and relieve associated joint or muscle pain to autoimmune diseasesBy stimulating specific points, acupuncture promotes blood and energy circulation, thus helping to reduce inflammatory symptoms. In addition, certain medicinal plants, rich in polyphenols, have beneficial anti-inflammatory properties.
Pain can be information that is already registered by the brain and continues even during periods of calm. Acupuncture allows for a deep "cleansing" of false information from the nervous system.
Reinforcement of the immune system
TCM aims to modulate the immune system by strengthening the key organs involved in the body's defense. Practices such as Qi Gong, combined with tonic herbs such as astragalus or ginseng, are used to support vital energy and improve resistance to disease.
Managing emotions and mental balance
Emotions play a crucial role in health, according to TCM. Techniques such as acupuncture, Qigong, and meditation are recommended to help patients manage stress, anger, or fear, thus contributing to emotional balance and disease stabilization. Emphasis should be placed on regularly practicing positive thinking to promote the circulation of Yang energy in the body.
Acupuncture in treatment autoimmune diseases
Acupuncture is an essential component of TCM for treat autoimmune diseases. By inserting fine needles at specific points, it aims to restore energy balance and modulate the immune response. The needle creates a micro-lesion, then the brain, through the parasympathetic system, calms the inflammatory reactions to this micro-lesion. It is as if the brain is saying “there is no point in reacting for such a small thing”. Once this mechanism is activated, the brain will use it more easily against immune system disorders.
Mechanisms of action of acupuncture
Acupuncture works by regulating the nervous system and promoting the release of neurotransmitters and hormones, which can modulate the immune response and reduce inflammation. Studies have shown that acupuncture can cause positive physiological changes in the body, including improved circulation and decreased inflammation.
Specific applications
In the case of the rheumatoid arthritis, For example, Acupuncture can help reduce joint pain and inflammation, thus improving the mobility and quality of life of patients. Similarly, for conditions such as psoriasis, acupuncture has been shown to be a safe treatment option, with significant clinical improvements even in old pathologies (20/30 years of pathologies).
Chinese Herbal Medicine for Autoimmune Diseases
Chinese phytotherapy, a pillar of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), uses specific combinations of plants to restore energy balance and support the immune system, particularly beneficial in autoimmune diseases. In TCM, autoimmune diseases are viewed as imbalances of Qi and blood, often related to factors such as dampness, internal heat, or energy deficiencies. Herbal medicine aims to harmonize these imbalances using plants with specific properties.
Specific applications for autoimmune diseases
Chinese herbal medicine is not limited to the use of isolated plants, but rather favors complex formulas adapted to each individual. These formulas aim to:
- Regulate the immune system : By moderating excessive immune responses, plants help prevent the body from self-aggression.
- Reduce inflammation : Certain plants have natural anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce pain and swelling associated with autoimmune diseases.
- Support affected organs : Formulas can be designed to specifically strengthen weakened or imbalanced organs, such as the kidneys or liver, which are often involved in these pathologies.
It is essential to consult a qualified TCM practitioner for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate prescription, as improper use of certain herbs can lead to adverse effects. Furthermore, the quality of the herbs used is crucial to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the treatment.
Qi Gong and Tai Chi to strengthen vital energy
Qigong and Tai Chi are energy practices that combine gentle movements, breathing, and mental focus. They aim to improve the circulation of Qi, strengthen the body, and calm the mind. Studies suggest that these practices can reduce fatigue and improve the quality of life of patients with autoimmune diseases. The goal is for the patient to maintain a gentle inner movement that avoids energy stagnation and, therefore, pain. These practices are a great complement to exercise because they are less tiring and can be practiced at any age.
Diet and lifestyle according to TCM
TCM recommends a balanced diet, tailored to individual constitution, to support internal organs and reduce inflammation. For example, eating warm, easily digestible foods can help strengthen the spleen and stomach. Drinking warm or lukewarm drinks at all times helps avoid using up your own digestive energy. Additionally, adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes stress management techniques, such as meditation and breathing exercises, is crucial for maintaining energy balance.
