1. Acupuncture promotes a state of relaxation
Do you ever feel there are just not enough hours in the day to meet the demands of work, family, and self-care? Are you operating in a state of chronically high stress? Acupuncture can switch on your body’s relaxation pathways and retrain your body and mind to access deep states of relaxation.
2. Acupuncture can help improve sleep
Acupuncture can restore restful, reliable sleep patterns by treating the root cause of insomnia as well as benefitting your overall health.
3. Acupuncture can boost your energy
Most people are burning the candle at both ends with fast-paced, high-stress lives. Instead of turning to another cup of coffee, consider increasing your energy in a balanced and sustained way with acupuncture.
4. Acupuncture can decrease musculoskeletal pain
Acupuncture is one of the best options to consider for both acute and chronic pain. It helps to decrease pain and promote tissue recovery.
5. Acupuncture can treat headaches
Acupuncture is an excellent therapy for headaches of all types including migraines, tension headaches and hormonally triggered headaches.
6. Acupuncture can improve your mood
Acupuncture has been found to be an effective treatment for anxiety, depression and other mental health challenges and can be used as a standalone treatment as well as in combination with mood supportive medications or supplements.
7. Acupuncture can boost your immune system
If you get sick frequently, with colds and flus, suffer from allergies, or if you’re dealing with autoimmune disorders, acupuncture could help.
8. Acupuncture can help improve digestion
Digestive conditions like gas and bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, IBS, inflammatory bowel disease and abdominal pain respond well to acupuncture. In Chinese medicine, a healthy digestive system is the basis for good health. If the digestive system is not functioning optimally, it trickles down to all other aspects of health and lays the groundwork for disease.
9. Acupuncture can help with disorders related to menstruation and menopause
Many women suffer with hormonal imbalances that manifest as conditions such as absent, painful, or heavy menses, infertility, fibroids, endometriosis, peri-menopausal and menopausal symptoms. Acupuncture and herbs are incredibly beneficial in treating the root cause of these conditions as well as providing symptomatic relief.
10. Acupuncture can help keep you healthy
Many acupuncture converts come in for preventative acupuncture ‘tune-ups’ that promote better energy levels and an increased sense of wellbeing. So, even if you’re not feeling sick, consider using acupuncture once a month or so, to help give your system a boost.
