Acupuncture has been used for centuries to realign the body and its functioning. There are 12 meridians that run through the associated organs including lungs, heart, stomach, small and large intestine, liver, and gallbladder. Illness and health conditions occur where there is stagnation (lack of flow), cold, heat, blood deficiency and blood stasis in these organs or channels.
Inserting an acupuncture needle creates a micro trauma signaling blood flow and movement to the associated acupuncture point. Just like a cut on your finger that triggers healing to the body- red and white blood cells come to this area.
A second way acupuncture works is by triggering the brain to release neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) related to the nerves to release pain receptors to the affected area on the body.
If you’re looking for holistic, deeper but also gentle treatment, this would be the right avenue for you.
