Contemporary research shows that acupuncture modulates the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems. It affects several neurotransmitters and neuropeptides, such as serotonin which helps with depression, anxiety, and addictions. It also affects oxytocin which is involved in regulating the parasympathetic nervous system, our 'rest and digest' operating mode. Switching us into a parasympathetic state helps to drop muscle tension, slow the heart rate, lower blood pressure, improve digestion, moderate breathing, and balance reproductive organ function. Acupuncture also increases norepinephrine which relieves pain and suppresses nervous tissue inflammation. The insertion of an acupuncture needle activates a release of endorphins which are natural painkillers. It increases blood circulation and dilates blood vessels, thereby delivering oxygen and nutrient-rich blood, hormones, and immune factors to imbalanced areas of the body.
