Did You Know - Acupuncture can also help Menstrual Pain / Period Cramps?
A study conducted by Dr. Mike Armour, of the National Institute of Complementary Medicine (NICM) at Western Sydney University in Australia found that the women undergoing acupuncture more frequently experienced more significant improvements in period pain intensity and related symptoms, as well as in overall quality of life.
How Acupuncture Works
Acupuncture works by reducing pro-inflammatory markers, or proteins in the body. Various studies have shown that by doing acupuncture, you can significantly decrease pro-inflammatory markers, which decrease inflammation and reduces pain.
Acupuncture also works through the neurohormonal pathways. Basically, by placing needles in specific areas in the body, they stimulate the nervous system, which sends signals to the brain to release neural hormones such as beta-Endorphins that make the patient feel euphoric, or happy and decreasing pain.
The fundamental belief of acupuncture is that illness is the result of blocked or interrupted chi. Chi provides your body with healing energy. Acupuncture seeks to remove these blockages and return your energy flow to a state of balance.
