Benefits of Acupuncture

Acupuncture and Traditional East Asian Medicine has been around for over 3000 years. Acupuncture works by regulating the autonomic nervous system in ways that lead the body to heal itself from within. On a trip to China in the 1970s, President Nixon required emergency surgery to remove his appendix. The only anesthesia used was acupuncture. This helped to open the eyes of the Western world to the numerous possibilities of East Asian Medicine. Acupuncture has been proven to aid in sleep, reduce stress, diminish pain, improve digestion, enhance sperm parameters, optimize fertility, support IVF, turn breech babies and so much more.
