When your nervous system is calm, your hormonal system, immune system, digestive, and circulatory systems all calm down, too. This means more hormonal balance, less inflammation, better circulation, and nutrient absorption.

When we insert a needle in your body, there is a signal that goes to your brain and your brain releases many substances, such as endorphins and enkephalins, which are very potent and powerful natural pain killers.

Blood carries everything our body needs to heal, oxygen, nutrients, hormones, anti-inflammatory substances, and pain-killers. Promoting normal blood flow promotes and maintains health. When we use acupuncture to bring more blood flow to the glands and tissues that need the most support, those tissues naturally work better. This means key tissues like thyroid, liver, adrenals, ovaries, and others are able to function at peak levels.

When you use acupuncture to stimulate your body’s healing process, it gets right to work repairing and restoring all cells and tissues. Acupuncture harnesses the vast healing intelligence your body contains to help you heal faster.

When you apply acupuncture as a weekly therapy for several weeks, your body naturally and gently begins to undergo positive changes. This is different from drugs and surgery which represent drastic, sudden change your body may not be able to sustain. The changes induced by acupuncture are literally like new pathways your body won’t soon forget.

Acupuncture regulates the parasympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic nervous system is the one in charge of the “rest and digest” functions in our body, as opposed to the sympathetic nervous system, the one that keeps us in “fight or flight response”. In our modern world, most of us live in constant stress, chronically activating the  “flight and fight response”. Many autoimmune and chronic conditions have been linked to impaired parasympathetic function. By activating the “rest and digest system” (parasympathetic system), acupuncture induces a deep state of relaxation which is extremely beneficial and can help prevent many conditions.
