This traditional Chinese medicine technique treats a variety of conditions, including pain, stress, and digestive issues.
Acupuncture is thought to stimulate the release of endorphins, which are natural pain-relieving chemicals in the body. This can help reduce pain and promote a sense of well-being.
Acupuncture may also affect the release and activity of neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and dopamine, which play a role in regulating mood, pain perception, and other physiological functions.
Acupuncture is based on the concept of Qi, or vital energy, flowing through meridians in the body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, practitioners aim to balance the flow of Qi and restore health.
