How does it work?
Acupuncture, explained twice
According to Western medicine
The needles stimulate the release of neurotransmitters in the nervous system and trigger a biochemical response in muscles, brain and circulation. That activates the body's natural ability to repair itself and reduce inflammation.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine
It restores the flow and balance of Qi, the vital energy, so that energy and nourishment reach cells, tissues, organs and glands.
