9 Ways Acupuncture Heals Mind, Body & Spirit
Yesterday, a client asked me to forward something I have posted on the wall at L.A. Wellness, and I thought, "Why not share it with everyone?"
Here is how acupuncture heals mind, body, and spirit:
Increased life span: Acupuncture has been proven to increase telomere length, which is an indicator of lifespan and quality of end of life (http://lawellness.com/articles/want-to-live-longer-and-stay-healthier-check-this-out)
Reduces Stress: Acupuncture deactivates the stress response, thereby diminishing circulating cortisol and adrenaline levels.
Reduces Musculoskeletal Pain: Acupuncture has been proven effective in reducing tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, osteoarthritis, low back pain, and carpal tunnel syndrome just to name a few.
Improves Digestive Function: By activating the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system, acupuncture helps regulate digestion and elimination.
Improves Mental Clarity and Memory: A pub-med study published on the effects of acupuncture on undergraduate students academic performance revealed that acupuncture significantly improves test scores.
Increases Fertility in both men and women: Not only does acupuncture increase conception and carrying to term for natural conception, but also increases IVF success rates by 50%.
Aids in Recovery from Addiction: Established acupuncture protocols are used in almost every Drug Rehab facility in the country... because it works!
Decreases Frequency and Intensity of Headaches: A new study of acupuncture — the most rigorous and detailed analysis of the treatment to date — found that it can ease migraines. Financed by the National Institutes of Health and carried out over about half a decade, the new research was a detailed analysis of earlier research that involved data on nearly 18,000 patients.
Improves Energy levels: Acupuncture works at circulating Qi, or life energy throughout the body. Stress can cause our Qi to stagnate, and acupuncture gets it circulating again.
