What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a cornerstone of traditional Chinese medicine, practiced for over 2,500 years. This ancient technique involves inserting fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body known as acupoints. These points correspond to various bodily functions and are believed to stimulate the body's natural healing processes by balancing the flow of energy, or Qi.

Acupuncture works by:

  • Stimulating the Nervous System: It releases natural painkillers and promotes relaxation by triggering the release of endorphins.

  • Enhancing Circulation: Improved blood flow delivers oxygen and nutrients to tissues, promoting healing.

  • Balancing Hormones: Acupuncture can help regulate hormonal imbalances, supporting reproductive health and overall wellness.

  • Reducing Inflammation: By modulating the immune system, acupuncture helps reduce inflammation and supports recovery from injuries and chronic conditions.
