Episode 43: How Does Acupuncture Work?

Acupuncture is over 3,000 years old, used to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease.

 The actual practice of acupuncture includes placing hair-thin needles into the skin on certain points of a meridian. The needles are sterilized to prevent infection and are only one time use.

Acupuncture points are believed to stimulate the central nervous system. This releases chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These biochemical changes may stimulate the body's natural healing abilities. They may promote physical and emotional well-being.

Conditions that it can be used for:

 1. Any physical pain – musculoskeletal – arthritis, back pain, muscle weakness

2. Digestive issues – any, constipation, diarrhea, Gastritis, IBS, etc.

3. Emotional – anxiety, depression, insomnia, nervousness

4. Eyes, Ear and Throat / Respiratory– sinusitis, sore throat, rhinitis

5. Gynecological – menstrual imbalances, infertility

6. Neurological – headaches, migraines, seizures, Stroke, Guillen Barre Syndrome

7. So much more.
