From a physiological standpoint and modern perspective, acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles into the skin to stimulate underlying tissues.
This process sends signals to the brain that can:
Promote relaxation
Increase blood flow
Reduce inflammation
Trigger the release of endorphins and other natural pain-relieving chemicals
From an energetic perspective, the body is animated by a vital force known as Qi (pronounced “chee”). When Qi flows freely and reaches the areas where it is needed, we experience balance and vitality. When it becomes deficient, stagnant, or misdirected, symptoms and disease can arise.
Acupuncture works to regulate the flow of Qi, restoring harmony and supporting the body’s natural ability to heal.
