How does ACUPUNCTURE work?
• • •

According to traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture works by balancing the flow of energy called qi through the body's meridians. However, from a Western perspective, acupuncture works by stimulating the body's natural healing mechanisms. When the needles are inserted into specific points, they trigger the release of natural painkillers such as endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine. These chemicals help to reduce pain and inflammation while promoting relaxation and a sense of well-being.

Recent studies have also shown that acupuncture can affect the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary body functions such as heart rate, digestion, and breathing. Acupuncture can stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the body's rest and digest response, and reduce the activity of the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the fight or flight response. This can help to reduce stress and anxiety, improve digestion, and regulate the immune system.

Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment for a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, headaches, anxiety, and depression. If you're interested in trying acupuncture, make sure to find a licensed and experienced acupuncturist.

Hi lovelies, it’s been a bit. I’ve been a busy bee finishing up my last year in my double degree! This meant a lot of driving back and forth from Calgary, completing clinic, writing a thesis and studying, a lot of studying!

For those of you that may not know, I’m pursuing a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. 👩🏼‍⚕️🌿
And tomorrow I will finally be graduating (again).👩🏼‍🎓

The long road is not over yet, as I will still be continuing to study as I prep for board exams in the fall!

I am going to try my best to post more, along with adding some TCM into the mix! I will still be available for massage treatments, feel free to message me, always happy to talk about acupuncture too.
