Acupuncture Boosts Your Body’s Ability to Naturally Speed Recovery Times
Through the years, western research techniques have been applied more and more to study the benefits of acupuncture. Here are some things they found acupuncture does:
- Releases endorphins (natural pain-killing chemicals)
- Releases serotonin and dopamine (regulate mood, sleep, and appetite)
- Boosts oxytocin levels (feelings of well-being and stress reduction)
- Regulates the endocrine system (boosts metabolism, balances release of hormones)
- Increases circulation
- Increases white blood cell count (the immune system)
By doing these things and so much more, acupuncture can help the body naturally reduce inflammation; thus, speeding recovery times and enhancing performance. Add in injury- and sport-specific acupuncture points and techniques, and that’s a recipe for a serious competitive edge.
