Benefits of Acupuncture

• Acupuncture is very effective in preventing further illness and creating a sense of well-being. Studies have shown that acupuncture raises endorphin levels in the brain. Endorphins are brain chemicals that produce a feeling of well-being like a “runner’s high” to relieve depression and anxiety.

• Acupuncture relieves pain, builds energy and enhances the immune system. T-cells, which are important in fighting viruses, have been found to be elevated after acupuncture treatments. Other benefits of acupuncture include decreasing HIV related symptoms and medication side effects such as nausea, sweats, neuropathy, diarrhea, constipation, poor appetite, insomnia, headaches, memory loss, joint and muscle pain, and fatigue.

• During periods of wellness, acupuncture can be used to continue to build the immune system and energy while maintaining a feeling of well-being. Acupuncture is more than just a “quick fix” since the benefits can be subtle but add up over time. When acupuncture treatments are taken on a regular basis, even for a few weeks, the long-term health benefits can be tremendous and can enhance the effects of other types of treatment such as massage, Reiki, chiropractic, and polarity. Having regular acupuncture is like putting money in the bank for your health.
