Traditional Chinese medicine, which encompasses both acupuncture and herbal medicine, is an ancient healing modality that treats the whole person without neglecting or bandaging symptoms often found in western medicine. Acupuncture is a mindful practice that asks you to become more in tune with your own body as it begins to heal.

Knowing your body is one of the best things you can do in your personal journey towards health and wellness, and at Lee Acupuncture we give you our undivided attention as we delve into the issues you have. We have a variety of methods including acupuncture, herbs, and functional medicine to help treat pain and inflammation issues, infertility, emotional wellness, and oncology support. Follow along in our post today to get a glimpse into the perks of acupuncture.

How Acupuncture Heals

Acupuncture is a holistic modality that supports the body when the chi (qi) or life force becomes blocked. The entire body has location points that run along a meridian that corresponds with different organs to assist in unblocking the chi. The small needles are then inserted to stimulate the chi to help get everything flowing once again.

What Does Acupuncture Support?

Acupuncture is wonderful as both a preventative medicine and for people struggling with chronic issues. One of the most common concerns people seek acupuncture for is chronic pain and inflammation. Acupuncture also beautifully addresses headaches (including migraines), bone health, allergies, digestive issues, emotional health, infertility, and hormone imbalance.

The Best Perk of Acupuncture: Wellness

Many people consider acupuncture an “alternative” or “complementary” medicine when really it’s just medicine. While we can list a host of benefits that consistent acupuncture sessions can heal, one perk that is often forgotten is its synergistic effects on the body and the promotion of overall better health.

When you seek acupuncture, you’re seeking a different treatment pathway that strays from traditional western medicine of prescribing pharmaceuticals to mask a symptom, which in turn brings additional side effects that you then need more pills for, and the cycle of sickness continues.

When you begin working with an acupuncturist for chronic migraines, the beautiful effect is you may find migraine relief and because the migraines were hormonal, the acupuncture is also balancing hormones. You may go in for one thing and acupuncture with treat many underlying issues!
Find an increased immune system and better health with acupuncture — and find wellness — which is the best perk of acupuncture.

Musings on Functional Medicine

In future posts, we’ll dive into the real meat of functional medicine but wanted to give you a sneak peek into what it is. Below are a couple of key points.

  • Functional medicine views each person as an individual — biochemically and genetically.
  • Evidence-based scientific research is what functional medicine is based in.
  • Your body desires balance and has the ability to heal.
  • Health is not only free from disease but is built around great vitality.
