Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a healing art rooted in the philosophy of Daoism, dating back to 600 b.c.e. “ Trust the intelligence of nature, and everything will fall into place, “ lies at the heart of this philosophy. Therefore, restoring your natural ability to heal and self-regulate is the essence of acupuncture.

Self healing lives primarily in the parasympathetic nervous system; all self-regulating biological functions such as digestion, cardio function, 300 + circadian rhythms, hormone and endocrine cycles, immunity and more.

The parasympathetic nervous system functions along side the sympathetic nervous system that manages stress, glucose metabolism, environmental conditioning, how we think, and more. We have relative control over the sympathetic nervous system, but if you fall into a prolonged state of disruption due to stress, anxiety, injury, disordered nutrition, too much or not enough of one thing or another, then the parasympathetic nervous system becomes overwhelmed, thus interfering with self-healing and self-regulation.

To change this, acupuncture re-trains physiology to restore self healing, and helps to realign mind and spirit to nature. I have witnessed patients shift their life path. Like any training, frequency and consistency is key to break up these patterns to realign with nature’s cycles.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

This depends on: Where on the scale of relative good or ill health are you starting? How long have you been living with the issue? And how long has it been brewing before it got your attention?

Longer duration of the above will likely require a longer course of treatment, with more frequency to retrain and reverse the issue. However, to naturally restore your ability to heal is lasting. This is fundamental to a long-lived life and quality of well-being.
