Acupuncture works by adjusting the body’s energy (Qi) to address the root causes of illness, stimulating the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Benefits such as:

 

 Chronic Disease Management and Prevention: It’s suggested that acupuncture is particularly effective for long-term health management and preventing illnesses by addressing energetic imbalances before they manifest physically.

 

Acute Conditions: The text claims acupuncture can provide rapid relief for acute issues, citing pain reduction and even potentially offering critical time in emergencies like heart failure (through acupressure).

 

Pain Alleviation: Acupuncture is positioned as a way to resolve pain by redirecting Qi to blocked or deficient areas, aiming for a more lasting solution than just symptom management. Examples like arthritis, back pain, migraines, and menstrual pain are given.

 

Stress Reduction: Regular acupuncture is said to significantly reduce stress and promote relaxation, which in turn benefits the immune system.

 

Faster Recovery: By increasing Qi and blood flow and reducing inflammation, acupuncture is claimed to accelerate healing from injuries, illnesses, and surgery, with examples of use by athletes.

 

Emotional Balance: Acupuncture is presented as a successful treatment for emotional issues like depression, anxiety, and stress.

 

Improved Respiratory Health: Conditions like allergies, asthma, and sinus infections are listed as treatable with acupuncture.

 

Sound Sleep: Acupuncture is suggested as a common solution for insomnia and other sleep problems by addressing underlying causes like stress and pain.

 

Immune System Strengthening: Balancing Qi and reducing stressors are said to lead to a stronger overall immune system.

 

Targeted Organ Strengthening: Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine’s organ-meridian theory, acupuncture is claimed to be able to strengthen specific organs to address conditions like obesity (by targeting the spleen and stomach) and urinary incontinence (by addressing kidney weakness).
