How does acupuncture work?
Acupuncture works by helping the body do what it is already designed to do—heal itself.
Acupuncture points are highly specific spots on the body. These points are special because they sit in areas with a high number of nerve endings, blood vessels, and lymphatic pathways. When a very thin needle is placed into one of these points, it sends a gentle signal to the nervous system.
This signal tells the brain and body to pay attention.
Once the signal is received, the body responds by improving circulation, calming inflammation, relaxing tight muscles, and releasing natural pain-relieving and mood-supporting chemicals. This helps the body move out of “stress mode” and back into balance.
In simple terms, acupuncture helps reset the body’s internal communication system. It supports homeostasis, which means the body’s built-in ability to regulate, repair, and heal itself—without forcing anything or adding chemicals.
Unlock better digestion with acupuncture
When your nervous system is calm and digestion is strong, your body naturally restores microbiome balance.
Acupuncture supports the body’s ability to heal from within, creating the foundation needed for long-term gut repair. By improving circulation and nervous system signaling to the digestive tract, acupuncture helps create a healthier environment for the gut microbiome. Together, Acupuncture and herbal medicine can reduce dysbiosis—an imbalance of gut bacteria that contributes to bloating, reflux, gas, irregular stools, food sensitivities, and inflammation. Over time, the gut becomes better regulated, more resilient, and less reactive.
