The Mind and Oriental Medicine
Acupuncture has a measurable effect on the mind.
Neurological issues such as slurred speech, slow reflexes, tremors and impaired coordination can all be corrected with acupuncture treatments. In China, the primary therapy for dementia and stroke is acupuncture.
"Acupuncture triggers nerve responses, not only within the body but within the brain itself."
Studies have shown that acupuncture treatment results in shifts in the body's biochemistry.
In particular, cerebrospinal fluid levels of enkephalins and endorphins, the body’s natural opiates, rise during and after treatment. Acupuncture increases cognitive function, stimulate chemical production and allow the body and mind to communicate more efficiently.
Addictions, strokes, dementia, epilepsy and multiple sclerosis are some of the neurological issues that acupuncture treatments can sufficiently treat.
