What exactly is acupuncture?
How does acupuncture actually work?
From a modern medical perspective, acupuncture works by stimulating the nervous system. This triggers the release of natural chemicals that promote healing and well-being, such as:
- Endorphins: The body’s natural painkillers.
- Serotonin and Dopamine: Neurotransmitters that help regulate mood and cognitive function. Scientific studies using functional MRI have shown that acupuncture alters brain activity in regions related to pain, emotion, and cognition. It also improves blood flow and reduces inflammation in tissues.
