Acupuncture Has Positive Effects On Brain Chemistry, Treating Anxiety And Stress    

It Also Lowers High Blood Pressure And Treats Back Pain And Circadian Rhythm Disorders    

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese practice which has more than 2000 years old. Even though it is widely known, not everybody knows its effects on the body. Some of its benefits are positive changes in brain chemistry, the release of neurotransmitters, and pain reduction. It can cause the brain to release molecules that allow communication between cells and neurons, called neuropeptides, which can relieve pain and promote self-healing. It also produces other chemicals that help to manage pain, called endorphins which also are beneficial for treating back pain. Acupuncture also relaxes blood vessels, reducing hypertension and cerebral blood vessels. Another benefit is the release of neurotransmitters to manage stress, reduce anxiety, promote mood, and even treat circadian rhythm disorders. Additional info click here.
