What is Acupuncture and How Does it Work?
Acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of medicine and has been in practice for over 3,000 years. It involves placing very fine, sterile, needles at specific acupuncture points along the body. The goal of needle insertion is to promote homeostasis by balancing out the qi of the body. Qi (pronounced "chee") is often equated to the energy that flows through our bodies and influences our wellbeing. Qi flows through meridians like an invisible current to nourish and support cells, muscles, organs, etc. Stress and injury, among other things, can cause qi to become stuck in the meridians, leading the body away from homeostasis and making it more susceptible to disease. From a Western standpoint, acupuncture has been shown to influence the nervous system, cardiovascular system, endocrine system, and immune system. Acupuncture stimulates the release of neurotransmitters and hormones, influences blood flow and increases immune functioning.
