Acupuncture to Relieve Chronic Stress
A new animal study showed that rats treated with acupuncture had no spike in stress-associated hormones after being exposed to chronic stress. On the contrary, rats that received no treatment had higher levels of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) along with other stress hormones.
The constant increase in stress hormones is associated with many of health problems linked to chronic stress, such as depression, insomnia and anxiety. In stressed animals that received acupuncture, stress hormone levels were similar to those in the control animals that were not under chronic stress, this suggests the ancient healing modality normalizes stress hormone levels.
Acupuncture Confirmed to Treat Chronic Pain
In a recent analysis published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, researchers concluded that acupuncture has a definite effect in reducing chronic pain, ie back pain and headaches – more so than standard pain treatment. Real acupuncture also produced better results than using sham acupuncture, which suggests the benefits of needling outweigh the placebo effect.
The study revealed a “clear and robust” effect of acupuncture in the treatment of:
• Back pain
• Neck pain
• Shoulder pain
• Osteoarthritis
• Headaches
Acupuncture is proven to impact a number of chronic health conditions, and thought that it stimulates the central nervous system to release natural chemicals that alter bodily systems, pain and other biological processes. Evidence suggests that acupuncture impacts the body on multiple levels:
Stimulating the conduction of electromagnetic signals, which may release immune system cells or pain-killing chemicals
• Activation of your body’s natural opioid system, which reduce pain and induce sleep
• Stimulation of hypothalamus and pituitary glands.
• Change the secretion of neurotransmitters, which positively influence brain chemistry
