Acupuncture greatly improves immune function and health. It is highly effective at regulating the digestive system which allows for optimal absorption of nutrients. The digestive tract is responsible for producing 90% of serotonin which is directly linked to immune function and health. The gut-brain axis plays a vital role in many organ functions and contributes to overall energy, quality of sleep, and concentration.

In addition, acupuncture reduces inflammation which can be linked to better breathing, circulation, and pain relief.

Acupuncture has been proven effective in regulating the menstrual cycle addressing conditions such as painful menstruation, irregular cycles, fertility, and PMS symptoms.

Because acupuncture (along with herbal medicine) can balance and regulate hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, many women have received relief from menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, and mood swings.

Emotional imbalances such as anxiety, stress, and depression often occur due to a deficiency in serotonin and other “feel good” endorphins. Acupuncture addresses the underlying cause of this deficiency and specifically targets the imbalance to regain mental wellness.

Chronic pain is a result of obstruction in the body preventing blood and energy to flow smoothly. This is often caused by tension, poor posture, trauma, and inflammation. Acupuncture releases natural pain-killing chemicals to relieve pain along with promoting circulation to the affected area to bring blood and nutrition.
