Health Benefits of Acupuncture
Acupuncture is commonly used to manage pain and treat a wide range of physical and mental conditions. Acupuncture has been shown to provide multiple health benefits, supported by a growing body of research:
Pain management: Chronic pain, back pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, migraines, and arthritis. Acupuncture is widely recognised for its effectiveness in reducing chronic pain and managing conditions such as osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, and migraines. Research suggests that it activates the body's pain-modulating pathways, releasing natural painkillers like endorphins (Vickers et al., 2012).
Reproductive health: Menstrual irregularities, hormonal support, endometriosis, PCOS, fertility, IVF, IUI, pregnancy, peri/post menopause symptoms, male infertility, female infertility.
Reduced Inflammation: Acupuncture can reduce inflammation by stimulating the vagus nerve and improving blood flow, aiding in the management of inflammatory conditions like arthritis and sinusitis (Arranz et al., 2007).
Mental Health and Stress Reduction: Anxiety, depression, and stress relief. Acupuncture supports mental well-being by regulating stress hormones (cortisol and adrenaline) and enhancing the production of mood-stabilising neurotransmitters (serotonin and dopamine). Studies have demonstrated its positive effects in reducing anxiety and improving emotional balance (Sniezek & Siddiqui, 2013).
Improved Sleep: Acupuncture has been shown to improve sleep quality by balancing melatonin production and calming the nervous system, which can be beneficial for individuals with insomnia (Chen et al., 2009).
Enhanced Immune Function: Frequent colds, immune deficiencies, covid, long covid, RSV and fatigue. Acupuncture can enhance immune function by stimulating blood circulation and improving lymphatic flow, helping to prevent frequent colds and infections (Yin et al., 2019).
Digestive issues: Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), nausea, pre-diabetic and digestive disorders.
Respiratory concerns: Allergies, asthma, and sinusitis.
