Your immune system protects your body from disease and infection. In this regard, strengthening your immune system is the best way to prevent the onset of colds, flu, fever, and other illnesses. There are many ways to boost your immune system, but a natural remedy for achieving this is the ancient healing method of acupressure.
Acupressure is a form of alternative medicine that provides relief and helps treat ailments ranging from anxiety, stress, migraines, diabetes, indigestion, asthma, and many others. It works by applying pressure to crucial healing points in the body called “acupoints.” These acupoints correspond to different vital organs in the body. By stimulating these points, you can open up energy blockages in your body. This allows “Qi” or healing energy to circulate the body, supplementing the body’s self-healing process.
If you frequently get sick, you might have a weak immune system, leaving you vulnerable to viral and bacterial infections. The five most common causes of a weak immune system are stress, a lack of sleep, a sedentary lifestyle, a poor diet, and obesity. These factors can weaken your immune system and keep your body from feeling energized. Fortunately, stimulating just the right acupoints can also effectively revive a flagging immune system.
