The immune system is the part of our body that protects us against harmful pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and fungi.<\/p><p>Nature provides us with everything needed for strong immunity: nutrients, sunlight, healthy bacteria and fresh air. Research shows that adequate vitamin D and zinc, from food or supplements, form a solid foundation. Medicinal mushrooms and a healthy gut flora can also significantly strengthen the immune system.<\/p><p>Unlike our organs, immunity does not have one exact location in the body. The task of the immune system is to render invaders harmless. That is why the immune system is present in all the mucous membranes of the body, such as the skin, the lungs and the digestive tract: the places where the body comes into contact with the outside world.<\/p><p>The immune system operates through various cell types, including white blood cells. Each type of immune cell has its own role in clearing harmful invaders. These cells are produced by the spleen and the thymus and distributed via the lymphatic system.<\/p><h1>Improve the Overall Health of Your Immune System<\/h1><p>You build a strong immune system yourself with the right foundation: nutrition, stress reduction, sleep and movement. A lack of sleep or too much stress cannot be compensated for through diet alone. Together, all these elements form a strong immune system, and fortunately you can choose every day to give your body that foundation. Or just a little extra.<\/p><h2>Acupuncture and Your Immune System<\/h2><p>As an acupuncturist, I see every day how needle therapy works not only on tension and pain, but also has a direct effect on immunity. That is no coincidence: in recent years, there has been growing scientific research uncovering how acupuncture genuinely influences the immune system.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/rirakus50I9A9227_TP_V4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-391701 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/rirakus50I9A9227_TP_V4-267x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"267\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/rirakus50I9A9227_TP_V4-267x400.jpg 267w, https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/rirakus50I9A9227_TP_V4-533x800.jpg 533w, https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/rirakus50I9A9227_TP_V4-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/rirakus50I9A9227_TP_V4-33x50.jpg 33w, https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/rirakus50I9A9227_TP_V4-530x795.jpg 530w, https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/rirakus50I9A9227_TP_V4-64x96.jpg 64w, https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/rirakus50I9A9227_TP_V4.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px\" \/><\/a>Acupuncture works through what researchers call the neuro endocrine immune network. By stimulating specific points, you activate neural pathways that influence inflammation, the production of immune cells and the body&#8217;s recovery (source 11). One of the best known and most researched points in this respect is ST36, also called Zusanli, located on the lower leg. This point has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries to strengthen immunity, and modern research confirms that it can increase the activity of immune cells and regulate inflammatory processes (source 12).<\/p><p>Research also shows that acupuncture can positively influence the balance of gut flora, lower levels of pro-inflammatory substances and restore the balance between different types of immune cells (source 13). This fits neatly with what we already knew about the role of the gut in immunity: a large part of our immune system is quite literally located in the abdomen.<\/p><p>What I often see in practice, and what research supports, is that acupuncture works via the nervous system: it activates the vagus nerve, which in turn has a dampening effect on chronic inflammation in the body (source 14). This means acupuncture is not only supportive during recovery, but can also be used preventively to make the body more resilient.<\/p><h2>The Role of the Vagus Nerve and Stress Reduction<\/h2><p>One aspect of immunity that is still too often underestimated is the impact of chronic stress. When your body remains in survival mode for a prolonged period, the stress hormone cortisol stays elevated. In the short term, cortisol actually supports a good immune response, but with prolonged elevation it suppresses your immune system (source 15).<\/p><p>The vagus nerve, the longest nerve in our body, plays a key role here. This nerve connects the brain to organs such as the lungs, heart and gut, and provides a calming signal that dampens inflammation in the body. Research shows that good vagal tone, meaning a well functioning vagus nerve, is associated with a faster immune response and better regulation of inflammation. Low vagal tone, on the other hand, is linked to chronic inflammation and weakened immunity (source 16).<\/p><p>In my practice, I therefore recommend not only treatments but also simple daily habits that activate the vagus nerve: calm abdominal breathing, cold exposure such as a cold shower, meditation, or simply a short walk in nature. These are not miracle cures, but scientifically supported ways to help your nervous system relax, allowing your immune system to do its job better.<\/p><h1>Strengthen Your Immune System with Light Therapy<\/h1><p>In plants and animals, light particles are absorbed via photoreceptors. The organism responds to this with processes that promote recovery and growth. In humans, this works no differently.<\/p><p>Light is a broad concept, and not every type of light is equally beneficial. UVA and UVB from the sun are good for the immune system, but too much causes skin damage. Too much blue light from screens and indoor lighting actually reduces immunity, due to its negative effect on sleep. Other wavelengths, such as green light, have neither major benefits nor harmful effects.<\/p><p>The best form of light for your health must not only be proven effective, but also free from side effects. And that is where red light therapy comes in.<\/p><h1>Red Light Therapy and Your Immune System: Six Areas of Research<\/h1><p>Light from the red spectrum may well be the most interesting for our health. It is no coincidence that red light therapy has a wide range of health benefits. Below is an overview of studies conducted on red light therapy and the immune system.<\/p><h3>Inflammation and Oxidative Stress<\/h3><p>Our immune system responds to invaders by producing inflammatory substances. This is why you feel unwell, your temperature rises and you start to sweat: a normal but unpleasant experience.<\/p><p>Studies show that red light therapy has an anti-inflammatory effect and reduces oxidative stress and swelling in the lungs (source 1). Recent research even shows that red and near infrared light can reduce pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis and other complications of coronavirus infections (source 2).<\/p><h3>Recovery from Cold Sores<\/h3><p>Research has also been conducted into the effect of red light therapy on herpes viruses, in other words cold sores. Studies clearly show that you not only recover significantly faster, but that the typical pain symptoms are also reduced (source 3).<\/p><h3>Research into Bacteria and Fungi<\/h3><p>Think of athlete&#8217;s foot, fungal nail infections or vaginal yeast infections: a familiar problem for far too many people. Just because it is common does not mean it is normal. It can be treated effectively, and now also with red light therapy.<\/p><p>How does this work? The light particles cause the cell bodies of bacteria and fungi to die off. Researchers demonstrated the fungicidal effect in the mouth (source 4), and the same effect was also shown in laboratory research (source 5).<\/p><h3>Sleep and Melatonin<\/h3><p>During sleep, your immune system is at its most active. A good night&#8217;s sleep allows your immune system to function optimally. When you produce sufficient melatonin, you fall asleep faster and wake up more rested. Red light therapy in the evening can increase melatonin and improve sleep (source 6).<\/p><h3>Lymphatic Drainage and Circulation<\/h3><p>Red light therapy not only stimulates blood circulation (source 7), but also the activity of the lymphatic system, making detoxification easier (source 8). It also stimulates the delivery of nutrients through improved circulation.<\/p><h3>Gut Flora and the Microbiome<\/h3><p>Around seventy per cent of your immune system is located in the large intestine. This is also where the largest part of your microbiome, or gut flora, is found, which helps, among other things, with the growth and division of immune cells.<\/p><p>Photobiomics is the branch of science that describes the effect of red light therapy on the microbiome. Researchers observe a reduction in inflammation with red light therapy, which can lead to positive changes in the microbiome (source 9).<\/p><h1>Medicinal Mushrooms: Powerful Allies<\/h1><p><a href=\"https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/annie-spratt-xa-wN48fWo-unsplash-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-391706 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/annie-spratt-xa-wN48fWo-unsplash-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/annie-spratt-xa-wN48fWo-unsplash-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/annie-spratt-xa-wN48fWo-unsplash-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/annie-spratt-xa-wN48fWo-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/annie-spratt-xa-wN48fWo-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/annie-spratt-xa-wN48fWo-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/annie-spratt-xa-wN48fWo-unsplash-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/annie-spratt-xa-wN48fWo-unsplash-530x353.jpg 530w, https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/annie-spratt-xa-wN48fWo-unsplash-64x43.jpg 64w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a>As mentioned earlier, medicinal mushrooms play an important role in supporting immunity, and this deserves a little more explanation. Mushrooms such as reishi, shiitake, maitake and cordyceps contain beta glucans: complex sugar compounds that can directly stimulate the immune system (source 17).<\/p><p>Beta glucans activate, among other things, macrophages and natural killer cells, two important types of immune cells responsible for clearing invaders and damaged cells (source 18). Reishi is also known for its anti-inflammatory action, while shiitake extracts have shown a stimulating effect on T cell production in research (source 19).<\/p><p>What I always tell my clients is that combining different mushrooms is often more effective than using a single type, because each mushroom targets slightly different immune processes. This creates a broader and more complete effect on immunity.<\/p><h1>How Do You Use Red Light Therapy?<\/h1><p>Red light therapy is therefore not only intended for a more beautiful and younger looking skin. Research shows that light, particularly in the red spectrum, can also be a genuine immune booster.<\/p><p>Which parts of the body can you direct the light at for optimal immune function?<\/p><p>Abdomen, for gut flora.<br \/><span style=\"font-size: 14.4px;\">Breastbone, for the thymus and airways.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14.4px;\">Shin, for stem cell production.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14.4px;\">Armpits and groin, for the lymphatic system.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14.4px;\">Face and eyes, for the circadian rhythm and sleep.<\/span><\/p><p>Would you like to know which treatment area and dosage suit your goal best? Get in touch with us for personal advice.<\/p><p>The BioPhoton 3.0 and the BioPhoton+ have the unique feature that they can be used via the skin contact method. This allows the light to penetrate the body more efficiently and deeply.<\/p><h1>The Role of the Thymus<\/h1><p>Behind your breastbone lies the thymus. This is where T cells mature: immune cells that help fight off pathogens. As we age, the activity of this organ declines.<br \/><span style=\"font-size: 14.4px;\">Researchers describe how red and near infrared light may possibly contribute to preserving or restoring thymus function: an interesting area of research in which light, immunity and healthy ageing come together (source 10).<\/span><\/p><h1>It All Comes Together<\/h1><p>What always strikes me as a therapist is how closely these different systems are interwoven. The gut, the nervous system, the thymus and the skin do not work in isolation, but together form one large defence network. Red light therapy, acupuncture, medicinal mushrooms and a well functioning vagus nerve all target slightly different points within this network.<br \/>It is precisely this combination, rather than a single isolated approach, that makes the difference in practice.<\/p><h1>Which Device Is Right for You?<\/h1><p><a href=\"https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/persoon-voor-rood-licht.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-391710 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/persoon-voor-rood-licht-400x400.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/persoon-voor-rood-licht-400x400.webp 400w, https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/persoon-voor-rood-licht-800x800.webp 800w, https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/persoon-voor-rood-licht-280x280.webp 280w, https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/persoon-voor-rood-licht-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/persoon-voor-rood-licht-50x50.webp 50w, https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/persoon-voor-rood-licht-247x247.webp 247w, https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/persoon-voor-rood-licht-530x530.webp 530w, https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/persoon-voor-rood-licht-100x100.webp 100w, https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/persoon-voor-rood-licht-64x64.webp 64w, https:\/\/dutchhealthstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/persoon-voor-rood-licht.webp 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a>Not sure which device to use?
