Acupuncture
How does acupuncture work?
In Chinese medicine, it is believed that there is a universal life energy ‘Qi’ in every living creature and it works on it. This energy is circulating in regulated patterns throughout the body along specific pathways that are called ‘Meridians”. These meridians conduct the flow of the vital energy ‘Qi’. Acupuncture is the procedure of inserting and manipulating needles into various points on the body to relieve pain or for therapeutic purposes. This encourages the body to promote natural healing and to improve functioning.What Are The Benefits Of Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is renowned for its ability to alleviate pain. By stimulating specific points on the body, acupuncture promotes the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers. It can effectively manage various types of pain, including chronic pain, headaches, back pain, and joint pain.
Acupuncture sessions provide a deeply relaxing experience that helps reduce stress and anxiety. The needles used in acupuncture stimulate the nervous system, leading to the release of tension and promoting a sense of calm and relaxation.
Many individuals struggle with sleep disturbances. Acupuncture can help regulate sleep patterns by promoting the production of melatonin, the hormone responsible for sleep. Regular acupuncture sessions can lead to better sleep quality and more restful nights.
Acupuncture can aid in improving digestive function. It can help alleviate symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders such as indigestion, bloating, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), promoting better digestion and absorption of nutrients.
