The advantages of acupuncture

Conventional medicine offers patients the possibility of being cured or a sense of relief. However, within most medications there are several side effects that women fear most. Acupuncture is an all natural way of relieving pain, stress and anxiety.

Thin and small needles are strategically placed throughout certain points of the body. Most of the people who have used this all natural aid to relieve any type of ache, admit that it hurts less than getting blood drawn out. Results may be felt as soon as 20 minutes, but it could vary from person to person.

How does it relieve pain?

Throughout the human body, there are hundreds of muscles which transport signals to the brain. The doctor placing the needles will know exactly where the needle should be placed as not every muscle treats the same kind of pain.  Every point that is “punctured” will send a signal to the brain and then it will release endorphins.

What is an endorphin release:  When a person causes severe trauma to his or her body ―the brain releases a substance that reduces the sensation of pain. This is just an example, acupuncture needles will not cause any type of trauma. 

Work, children and just life could trigger stress and any other type of physical pain, like migraines. Although acupuncture is an excellent way to relieve aches, conventional medicine should always be a priority. With this in mind, find ways to know your body better, like an afternoon yoga session! Love and care for yourself more than ever before, as true beauty shines from within.
