Acupuncture has made me a believer on more than one occasion. It has helped two of my loved ones overcome some health annoyances. One was dealing with serious PMS, bad cramps and a very heavy cycle. The other was dealing with some very bad skin issues. Both situations were remedied and managed with sessions of acupuncture.
Acupuncture originates in ancient China dating back over some 3,000 years and is an integral part of traditional Chinese Medicine. Acupuncture has become recognized as a effective complementary therapy. It has so many proven benefits. Acupuncture works be it doesn’t focus solely on symptom relief, acupuncture treats the whole person, by addressing the root cause of imbalances.
Benefits of Acupuncture:
Pain Relief: One of the most well-known benefits of acupuncture is to eliminate pain. Acupuncture is believed to stimulate the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers and manages pain signals.
Improved Mental Health: Acupuncture has demonstrated positive effects on mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, and insomnia.
