What Tiny Little Needles Are Actually Doing To Your Body

While acupuncture needles are super thin and difficult to see, they produce powerful physiological influences on the different states in which you exist. This is referred to as ‘minification’ where pent-up energy trapped in relatively small containers produce larger beneficial behavioural outcomes from almost homeopathic amounts.

Stimulating Your Body’s Natural Pharmacy

That is, inserting needles into different acupuncture points activates nerve endings that induce a signal to your brain. This induces a release of endorphins (your body’s natural painkillers)as well as the other positive biochemical substances which include serotonin and dopamine. These compounds induce relaxation, decrease the perception of pain and facilitate a sense of well-being. For Acupuncture Gloucester, visit Purelands. 

Improving Blood Flow and Circulation

Insertion of the needle causes mircro-injury, leading to tissue repair and increased blood flow to that area. This improved circulation helps bring oxygen and nutrients to the affected areas of injury, speeding up natural healing processes by removing metabolic waste products.

Balancing Your Nervous System

Acupuncture Gloucester can soothe an overactive stress response or rev up sluggish systems, returning them to equilibrium. That is how treatments can tackle anxiety and fatigue at the same time.

Reducing Inflammation

Acupuncture manages inflammation by altering immune response, says research. The needles seem to change how white blood cells work and make them less inflammatory, which could lead to a decrease in the chronic inflammation seen in many health problems.

Gate Control Theory in Action

Needle sensations produced by acupuncture may help close the “pain gate” of pain travelling to the brain. This neurological interference can lead to prompt and long term pain reduction.

While energy flow was described by ancient practitioners, modern science shows acupuncture to have measurable effects on the biochemistry and physiology of circulation and nerve impulse.
