Acupuncture - How does it work? Acupuncture stimulates the body's natural self-healing mechanisms by targeting specific points along the meridians, which are energy pathways that regulate bodily functions. When fine needles are inserted into these points, they send signals to the nervous system, triggering the release of neurotransmitters, endorphins, and hormones that reduce pain, inflammation, and stress. This process enhances blood circulation, boosts immune function, and restores balance to organ systems. By improving energy flow (Qi) and promoting relaxation, acupuncture helps the body heal itself more efficiently, addressing physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

 

First Intake & Acupuncture Session -  60 minutes -  

Acupuncture focuses on balancing the flow of qi energy through the body's meridian channels. This method uses  disposable, thin needle placements on key acupuncture points to restore harmony & balance, relieve pain , enhance the body's natural healing process and promote overall well-being. Another style aside from Traditional Chinese acupuncture may include Japanese Acupuncture involving more touch, less needles, Japanese moxa and non-inserting tools. This gentle, painless yet effective style is of particular interest to sensitive clients, or have a fear of needles. www.toyohari.nl
