Acupuncture is a part of ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that has been used in treating disease for over 2500 years. Its holistic approach is a perfect fit for the modern world. As a healing modality, it emphasizes physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, and is successfully integrated with conventional medicine.
The benefits of Acupuncture:
During the Acupuncture treatment practitioner will insert very thin single-use stainless steel needles into specific points on the surface of the body to release the blockages of fundamental substances of the body-Qi. According to TCM philosophy, the disease occurs when Qi stagnates and does not circulate smoothly throughout the channels of the body. Acupuncture treatment promotes the body’s natural ability to restore its functions where needed, influences the body’s hormonal responses via the nervous system, improves blood circulation within internal organs, reduces pain and inflammation, and balances the body as a whole.
The Modern Science of Acupuncture
The team of researchers at the Harvard Medical School has elucidated the underlying neuro-anatomy of acupoints that, when activated by the needle, will activate a specific signaling pathway, and trigger anti-inflammatory response, increasing blood flow and circulation.
