How Acupuncture Works for People:
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical practice that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body. It is believed to work through several mechanisms:
-
Qi and Energy Balance: According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), acupuncture helps balance the flow of Qi (pronounced "chee") or vital energy in the body. When Qi is disrupted or blocked, it can lead to various health problems. Acupuncture aims to restore the smooth flow of Qi, promoting overall well-being.
-
Nervous System Regulation: Acupuncture needles stimulate nerve fibers in the skin and underlying tissues. This stimulation can trigger the release of endorphins and other neurotransmitters, leading to pain relief and improved mood.
-
Blood Circulation: Acupuncture can enhance blood circulation in the body. Improved circulation can aid in healing, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation.
-
Release of Tension: The insertion of acupuncture needles at specific points can help relax tense muscles and reduce muscle spasms, making it beneficial for pain management.
-
Immune System Modulation: Some research suggests that acupuncture may modulate the immune system, helping the body defend against illness.
