Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine that has been used for thousands of years to restore health and promote balance and well-being. Acupuncture involves the gentle insertion of tiny, hair-thin needles into specific points on the body. This process stimulates the movement of energy, or “qi,” to promote the body’s natural healing processes.
Research has found that acupuncture may alter brain chemistry by impacting the release of neurohormones and neurotransmitters, affecting the parts of the central nervous system related to sensation and involuntary body functions. This includes immune reactions as well as processes that regulate blood flow, body temperature, and blood pressure. Furthermore, acupuncture has been found to stimulate the endocrine and nervous systems, aiding in the activity of pain-killing biochemicals like endorphins and immune system. By this stimulation of chemicals and neurotransmitters, acupuncture can alleviate pain, relax muscles, improve immunity, and balance emotion.
Science-backed benefits of acupuncture include:
Boosting energy
Promoting restful sleep
