Acupuncture Works
Acupuncture works by stimulating the release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals. Acupuncture also influences the autonomic nervous system (which controls bodily functions) and the release of chemicals that regulate blood flow and pressure, reduce inflammation and calm the brain.
Some people use acupuncture to promote fertility. It is also used to quit smoking and as a component of the treatment for other addictions.
Cosmetic acupuncture, also known as facial acupuncture, is used to improve the appearance of the skin.
Your acupuncturist may use additional techniques during your session, including:
Moxibustion: Also known as “moxa,” moxibustion involves the use of heated sticks (made from dried herbs) held near the acupuncture needles to warm and stimulate the acupuncture points.
Cupping: Glass or silicone cups are applied to the skin so that there is a suction effect. In TCM theory, cupping is used to relieve the stagnation of qi and blood.
Herbs: Chinese herbs may be given in the form of teas, pills, and capsules.
Chinese Massage (Tuina Massage): Tuina is a form of therapeutic massage in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that focuses on stimulating acupuncture points and meridians to promote the flow of qi and blood.
Electroacupuncture: An electrical device is connected to two to four acupuncture needles, providing a weak electrical current that stimulates the acupuncture needles during the treatment.
