What is Acupuncture? A Holistic Approach to Wellness

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body. These points are believed to stimulate the flow of energy, or Qi, throughout the body, promoting healing and well-being.   

How Does Acupuncture Work?

While the exact mechanisms of acupuncture are still being studied, it is believed to work by:

• Stimulating the nervous system: Acupuncture needles can trigger the release of endorphins, natural painkillers produced by the body.

• Regulating the body's energy flow: By stimulating specific points, acupuncture can balance the flow of Qi, promoting harmony and health.

• Reducing inflammation: Acupuncture may help reduce inflammation in the body, which can alleviate pain and promote healing.
