Did you know Acupuncture can help regulate your nervous system?
Acupuncture has been practiced for over 3000 years, with beneficial clinical effects on various autonomic nerve-related disorders, such as cardiovascular diseases, epilepsy, anxiety and nervousness, circadian rhythm disorders, polycystic o***y syndrome and infertility.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine terms, Acupuncture is believed to restore the balance between yin and yang. From a western medical perspective, this can be translated to “acupuncture modulates the imbalance between the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems”.
Acupuncture can help balance the nervous system by calming overactive stress responses and supporting healthy brain signals, which may improve how the body reacts to stress and maintains overall wellbeing.
It has been effectively used to influence known indicators of autonomic activities including blood pressure, pupil size, skin temperature, muscle sympathetic nerve activities, heart/pulse rate, and heart rate variability.
Acupuncture has also been found to affect the nervous system through the release of endorphins, the regulation of neurotransmitters, and the activation of specific nerve pathways, for when you’re stuck in a fight or flight state.
By stimulating specific pathways in the body, acupuncture can help…
- Calm the body and promote relaxation
- Manage anxiety, stress and depression
- Reset your sleep cycle and assist with insomnia
- Alleviate various types of pain including headaches, migraines and musculoskeletal pain
- Stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system for “rest and digest”, calming the bodies stress response and leading to the release of mood-regulating neurotransmitters like serotonin and endorphins.
If any of these symptoms resonate with you, or you’re looking to support your nervous system and overall wellbeing, book an acupuncture consultation today and take the step toward greater balance and relief.
