Immune and Constitutional Issues
Acupuncture for Immune and Constitutional Issues in Amsterdam
Immune and constitutional issues often show up as a general sense that the body is not functioning at its best. You may get sick easily, take longer to recover, feel chronically run down, or notice that stress, travel, or seasonal changes affect you more than others.
At Alter Physio & Acupuncture in Amsterdam, we approach immune and constitutional issues from a whole-body and regulatory perspective. Rather than focusing only on immunity as a defense system, we look at how the nervous system, stress response, sleep, digestion, and recovery capacity influence overall resilience.
Through acupuncture and a holistic approach, we aim to support the body’s natural ability to regulate, recover, and maintain balance over time.
Understanding Immune and Constitutional Issues
The immune system does not work in isolation. Its effectiveness is closely linked to:
- The autonomic nervous system
- Sleep quality and recovery
- Stress and emotional load
- Digestive function and energy availability
- Circulation and tissue health
When the body is under prolonged stress or recovery is insufficient, immune function may become less efficient. This does not always result in clear illness, but rather in reduced resilience and slower recovery.
Common Signs of Immune or Constitutional Imbalance
People with immune or constitutional issues often experience:
- Frequent colds or infections
- Slow recovery after illness or stress
- Persistent fatigue or low energy
- Sensitivity to seasonal changes
- Feeling “run down” without a clear reason
- Fluctuating symptoms depending on stress or workload
These signs often indicate reduced adaptive capacity, not a single underlying disease.
Why These Issues Often Persist
Many people try supplements, dietary changes, or rest, yet symptoms remain. This often happens because:
- The nervous system remains in a stressed or alert state
- Sleep is not sufficiently restorative
- Digestion and energy availability are compromised
- Recovery signals are inconsistent
- The body lacks flexibility in adapting to stressors
Without supporting overall regulation, immune and constitutional symptoms tend to fluctuate rather than resolve.
How Acupuncture Supports Immune and Constitutional Health
Acupuncture supports immune and constitutional health by influencing the nervous system–immune connection. Treatment can help to:
- Reduce chronic stress responses
- Support parasympathetic (rest and recovery) activity
- Improve circulation and tissue nourishment
- Enhance recovery after physical or mental load
- Support overall regulatory balance
Rather than “boosting” immunity aggressively, acupuncture helps create conditions for stable, efficient immune function.

At Alter Physio & Acupuncture, acupuncture is part of a broader holistic approach that may include:
- Assessment of stress and recovery balance
- Breathing and movement awareness
- Sleep and lifestyle factors affecting resilience
