Introduction to Acupuncture
HOW ACUPUNCTURE WORKS
Acupuncture is an ancient therapy supported by modern research. By stimulating specific points on the body, it promotes the release of endorphins and regulates the nervous system. Clinical studies have shown that acupuncture can effectively reduce pain, alleviate anxiety, and improve sleep quality. It works by restoring balance to the body’s energy flow, known as "Qi" in the millenary tradition of Chinese medicine.
BENEFITS OF ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is endorsed by the World Health Organization and supported by scientific research. It is effective in treating many health conditions. A review published in The National Institutes of Health highlights acupuncture’s role in improving quality of life by addressing both physical and mental aspects. By working in harmony with your body’s system, acupuncture offers a powerful tool for holistic healing.

Smoking Cessation, Stress and Insomnia
SMOKING CESSATION
Breaking the habit of smoking is one of the most challenging but rewarding decisions you can make. Acupuncture offers a unique, evidence-based approach to quitting smoking by reducing cravings, alleviating withdrawal symptoms, and calming the mind. Studies published in scientific journals demonstrate acupuncture’s effectiveness in supporting smoking cessation. Combined with tailored lifestyle advice, we aim to provide you with the tools needed to achieve long-term success.
STRESS AND INSOMNIA
Chronic stress and sleep disturbances can take a toll on every aspect of your life. Acupuncture has been shown to reduce cortisol levels—the body’s primary stress hormone—and enhance the production of melatonin, which regulates sleep. A systematic review in The Journal of Clinical Medicine highlights acupuncture’s ability to improve sleep quality. By addressing both physical and emotional imbalances, acupuncture offers a natural solution for achieving lasting relaxation.
