Benefits of Acupuncture During Winter
Reduce stress: Winter season could stress anyone with holiday planning, family obligations, and the occasional slip or fall. We all know that stress has a negative impact on our minds and bodies and thankfully acupuncture reduces stress quickly and safely while centering us to be our best selves. Acupuncture encourages your body to relax while allowing our energy to flow in balance. Research has also shown that acupuncture affects our brain chemistry in a positive way and the results can be lasting. Acupuncture increases endorphins, those feel-good chemicals, in your brain allowing us to continue our daily routines with ease.
Prevent injury/illness: Winter is rough, the extreme cold and damp provide an environment that makes it easier for you to get sick. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs boost your immunity in order to remain healthy and, if you’re already sick, treatments can lessen your symptoms and reduce the duration of the illness.
Recharge your body: Winter weather can be tough on many of us and it won’t be over for a while. The cold and adventurous Rocky Mountain activities can drain our energy, make it harder to accomplish our goals while the climate can put strain on our joints and soft tissue. A few well-placed needles can nurture your depleted body, increase your energy, help you sleep better, and relieve built up the tension.
