  • How Does Acupuncture Work?

    Acupuncture has been studied for years in the west to scientifically understand how these little needles provoke healing. Here are a few of the conclusions:

    1. Acupuncture increases the circulation of blood- reducing pain and swelling
    2. It causes the release of certain neurotransmitters- benefitting mental health
    3. Acupuncture stimulates the natural release of opioids- reducing pain
    4. A reaction with the central nervous system occurs- benefitting overall health.

    See the Scientific Research section under FAQs.

    Why Herbs & Nutraceuticals instead of pharmaceutical drugs?

    Herbs and Nutraceuticals correct the underlying dysfunctional biological mechanism that causes the symptoms whereas drugs  only seek to alleviate the symptom.

    Herbs and nutraceuticals are safer than drugs. According to the CDC there are “0” deaths annually due to herbs and nutraceuticals whereas prescription drugs cause approxiamtely 250,000 deaths annually.

    2010 Drug Overdose Deaths: 38,329 and of that 30% were Anti-anxiety meds and 18% were Anti-depressant.

    2008  Pain Relief Medication deaths: 14,800
