HOW DOES ACUPUNCTURE WORK?
Historically, acupuncture points were believed to be holes that allow entry into channels. The holes provide us gateways to influence, redirect, increase, or decrease body's vital substance, qi, thus correcting many of the imbalances. Acupuncture regulates and corrects the flow of qi to restore health.
EFFECTS OF ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture has been show to stimulate the immune system. It also affects the circulation, blood pressure, rhythm and stroke volumes of the heart, secretion of the gastric gland, and production of red and white cells. It also stimulates the release of a variety of hormones (e.g: endorphin and serotonin) that help the body to respond to injury and stress. This modifies the way pain signals are received , giving way to an improved sense of well being after treatment. Acupuncture helps the human body function more efficiently by removing blockages, giving more output in the form of energy, resist stress, prevent and fight disease better, and live a fuller, longer life.
