Acupuncture For Improved Health

Acupuncture for improved health does so much for us that most don’t even realize. Most people have come to know acupuncture for releasing stiff muscles. While it definitely does this, it is a recognized technique for many other pains and disorders.

Do you suffer from stress? If you’re like most people on this planet, you probably do on some days. Acupuncture is a great way to reduce stress levels in our bodies. By reducing these levels, we gain quite a bit. Stress can wreak havoc on our entire system. It can lead to anxiety, weight gain, and may even cause us to seek comfort in other bad habits like smoking. Imagine what it would be like to shed that stress from your system.

Acupuncture has been utilized for thousands of years. That means it has been used for longer than most traditional medicine practices. That’s a pretty good record. Still, many are hesitant to try it. Perhaps that’s because they simply don’t understand it. That’s why we want to inform you on what acupuncture is and some of the benefits you might see from it.

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture involves inserting extremely small needles into certain areas of the body. These needles are much small than a sewing needle and most patients barely feel them, if at all. The needles are inserted into specific areas depending on what effect you are looking for.

What does it help with?

Acupuncture for improved health covers a lot of areas. One way that we mentioned already is to reduce stress hormones in the body. Other benefits include; pain relief, muscle relaxation, reduction of headaches or migraines, reduced eye strain, improved immune system and so much more.

What Is Acupuncture?

Have you heard of acupuncture but aren’t sure exactly what is involved? You’re not alone. There are a lot of misconceptions out there about acupuncture and we’d like to clear a few things up.

  • Acupuncture is painful – This seems to be based on a fear of needles. While that fear is real, the pain is not. The needles used are about the width of a strand of hair.
  • Acupuncture doesn’t work – Acupuncture was helping people long before western medicine. It does not involve harmful chemicals and has been proven to provide relief to many symptoms.
  • Acupuncture is expensive – Acupuncture is becoming recognized by more and more healthcare professionals and insurance companies are starting to see the benefits of including it in their plans.
  • Acupuncture is addictive – Although some patients will need a few sessions to gain the maximum benefits of acupuncture in The Villages, it is not addictive. Quite oppositely, acupuncture can often help curb other addictions like smoking or alcohol.

These are just a few of the many things that acupuncture can help with.

Acupuncture Stress Relief

Stress

Acupuncture has been proven to have numerous benefits, but one of them is the reduction of stress. 

Stress is the number one reason that patients seek acupuncture treatment. It affects almost every system in our bodies and can affect the health of major organs as well as our circulatory systems. Stress can cause weight gain which could lead to limited activity and then to depression. Stress could very well be considered an epidemic as almost 77% of people said they could feel the physical effects of stress on their bodies.

But what can be done about it? We all have stress in or lives right? Even retirement can be stressful! Stress can be treated and managed. One way to help alleviate the tension from life is through acupuncture. By reducing the hormones which cause stress, acupuncture can moderate mood, reduce anxiety and promote overall feelings of happiness.

The science is there. Reuters Health reported on a study from the University of York in the U.K. The study had 755 people with moderate to severe depression. The study concluded that acupuncture and counseling (or both) were effective in reducing depression. The average number when the participants started (on a scale of 27) was 16. When the study finished, the average had fallen to 9 for acupuncture and 11 for counseling. Not only were the effects noticeable, they also lasted up to three months after the conculsion of the study. To read more, please follow this link Acupuncture For Stress And Depression
