One of the Effects of Acupuncture on the Body’s Systems:
Influence on the Body’s Defensive Function
1. Acupuncture enhances the body’s defensive function.
Studies have shown that acupuncture can increase the number of white blood cells, strengthen the phagocytic function of the reticuloendothelial system, and accelerate antibody production — thereby improving the body’s immune response.
2. Acupuncture improves non-specific immunity.
It activates the reticuloendothelial system, enhances its ability to engulf bacteria and foreign substances, and increases serum lysozyme activity and complement function, thus strengthening overall body defense.
3. Acupuncture also promotes specific immune responses.
It stimulates antibody formation, increases the weight and activity of immune organs such as the spleen, thymus, and lymph nodes, thereby boosting specific immune capacity.
4. Clinical observations show that:
Acupuncture at certain acupoints — such as Zusanli (ST36), Hegu (LI4), and Quchi (LI11) — can significantly improve patients’ resistance to disease, reduce infections, shorten the course of illness, and promote recovery.
