Effects of Medical Acupuncture

´ MedAc used to “improve energy” in the area treated´ Such as increase GI motility for constipation
´ Increase cortisol release for inflammation treatment
´ Accomplishes this by working toward a homeostatic balance´ Stimulating the acupuncture points to increase energy in an area of deficient
energy in the system addressed, as hypothyroidism
´ Stimulating the acupuncture points to decrease energy in an area of excessive energy in the system addressed, as URI or inflammation
´ Stimulating release of endorphins and cortisol
