What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a therapeutic technique that involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body known as acupuncture points or meridians.
These points are believed to be interconnected pathways through which vital energy, called Qi (pronounced “chee”), flows. When Qi becomes imbalanced or blocked, it can lead to various health issues.
The goal of acupuncture is to restore the proper flow of Qi, promoting harmony and balance within the body’s systems.
It’s not just about treating symptoms; it seeks to address the root causes of health concerns and encourage the body’s innate healing abilities.
How Does It Work?
Acupuncture stimulates the body’s natural healing processes through several mechanisms:
- Nervous System Regulation: Affects the autonomic nervous system. This controls involuntary bodily functions such as heart rate, digestion, and respiration. By influencing this system, it helps the body achieve a state of balance and relaxation.
- Release of Endorphins: Triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, which can reduce pain and promote a sense of well-being.
- Anti-Inflammatory Effects: It’s anti-inflammatory properties can help alleviate pain and reduce inflammation in the body.
- Improved Blood Circulation: The insertion of acupuncture needles stimulates blood flow to specific areas. This aids in the delivery of oxygen, nutrients, and immune cells to tissues.
