Acupuncture is a holistic healing technique to regulate your body and prevent the onset of illness and disease. Using needles as thin as a human hair, acupuncture stimulates the production of immune cells, releases endorphins and promotes the production of seratonin.

Modern medicine uses artificial chemicals to combat your symptoms. These can work well in the short term, but usually produce undesirable side effects and can often exacerbate the condition over the long term. Acupuncture is a drug-free, and therefore side effect-free technique which treats your body as a whole rather than combating individual symptoms.

Your body is governed by an autonomic nervous system with two components: the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. Together they rule every function of your body. When you are active, the sympathetic nervous system has control; when you are resting, the parasympathetic system dominates. The two systems swing like a pendulum according to time of the day, the season, your environment or your emotions. This seesawing is essential in maintaining healthy breathing, heartbeat, blood circulation, blood pressure, the immune system, hormone production, appetite, sleep and just about every other vital activity of your body. When you are under stress the seesawing may stop as one system becomes hyperactive. You might experience dizziness, chronic fatigue, cold feet, weight gain, constipation, diarrhea, insomnia or depression. At this point medical tests will rarely detect disease, but these are serious warning signs from your body. Acupuncture arrests these symptoms before they develop into more severe conditions. The World Health Organization currently recognizes over 40 diseases that lend themselves to acupuncture treatment, from back pain to asthma, from insomnia to infertility.Balancing your nervous systems, building your immune system and activating your metabolism you aren't just remedying current complaints, you are actively working to prevent serious illness in the future.
