Acupuncture for HIV/AIDS

A whole-person approach

It makes sense that acupuncture and TCM are one of the most commonly used complimentary therapies for HIV.  Practiced for thousands of years, TCM is a complete medical system known to be especially effective in supporting the immune system, strengthening the body, as well as calming the mind and spirit.

TCM tells us the Qi (pronounced “chee”) is the vital energy that animates the body and protects it from illness.  When a powerful external invader such as HIV attacks the body, it causes a severe disharmony and imbalance of Qi.  Incorporating acupuncture and TCM into your healing process, can serve to address various signs and symptoms associated with the virus and the side-effects of HIV “cocktail” medications.
