Autoimmune diseases

The huatuo jiaji points at T1, T2 and T3 are used for autoimmune disorders. Of course you’ll need to use more points as well and those additional points would depend on the specific symptoms and disease progression.

She has diabetes, sarcoidosis, cirrosis from the sarcoidosis, hypothyroid, kidneys are in stage 4 with sarcoidosis. She is not digesting foods. Diagnosed by doctors and scans.

Long story short she would need to see an acupuncturist skilled in autoimmune conditions weekly for quite some time to get significant help. At a minimum of 2 months weekly and then perhaps every other week for 9 months to a year or more.

For tong ren as @stephen pointed out the main points for autoimmune conditions in our system are the T1, T2 and T3. Other relevant points for her condition overall in order that they should be tapped would be:

• GV 22
• UB 9
• GB 20
• Huatuo points at T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T7, T8, T9, L2
• ST 36
• SP 6
• LV 3

Also, I should say this: the very reason I myself got interested in TCM is because I had autoimmune disease at one time in the past. I healed myself from it.

Hi Fujiyoko, Sorry I am coming in the conversation late. I have an autoimmune disease. I am curious how you healed yourself from yours? I have done acupuncture and chinese herbs…but my acupuncture doctor was insisting I take these specific herbs and I felt I was not getting any benefit from it. Also he kept on insisting I eat more and eat anything as well as to not believe in the ‘rubbish’ about eating gluten-free etc. I have personally found that going gluten-free, dairy-free and fasting has helped my inflammation immensely. I have psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. I am looking for an acupuncture therapist who ‘sees the greater picture.’
