How does Acupuncture work?
Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years. It was originally based on Taoist theories which is why Acupuncture is focused on harmonising the whole body. One common translation of Tao is path. The main theory of Acupuncture is that we all have qi a life enhancing energy which manifests within pathways in our bodies. A disruption to these pathways leads to a disharmony.
Currently, there are a few different theories about the way Acupuncture works:
Endorphins - Acupuncture releases endorphins into the bloodstream. Endorphins are the body's own natural painkillers and feel good chemical storehouse
Enhancing immunity - Acupuncture raises the levels of prostaglandins, white blood cells, gamma globulins, and antibody levels
Circulation - Acupuncture may release vasodilators such as Histamine, this may have the effect of dilating or constricting blood vessels
Neurotransmitters - Acupuncture may have a balancing effect on the levels of neurotransmitters such as serotonin (feelings of wellbeing), and noradrenalin (stress hormone)
Gate Control - Acupuncture overloads nerve gates with impulses, thus reducing pain transmissions
