Acupuncture is practiced over 3,000 years but how does it work on a wide variety of conditions?
Below are some of the more popular scientific theories that are based upon blood draws before and after acupuncture that can help us better understand how this amazing medicine works.
- Immunity Augmentation – Acupuncture can boost immunity. It can also help regulate immunity in cases involving auto-immune conditions.
- Endorphins – Acupuncture stimulates the secretions of endorphins in the body-these are your body’s natural pain killers-10 times stronger than morphine. This can result in immediate pain relief!
- Neurotransmitters – Acupuncture affects certain neurotransmitter levels such as Serotonin and Noradrenaline. This helps to modulate the stress response. This is the reason why acupuncture is so good at treating things like insomnia, anxiety, depression, sugar cravings, and stress related conditions
- Circulatory – Acupuncture increases circulation by causing vasodilation. This helps facilitate healing by bringing blood flow to the area of injury.
- Gate Control – Acupuncture closes certain nerve gates by strategically overloading them with impulses, thus reducing pain transmission.
