Acupuncture has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects and can be used as a complementary therapy for managing inflammation-related conditions. While the precise mechanisms by which acupuncture exerts its anti-inflammatory effects are not fully understood, research suggests several possible ways in which acupuncture can help reduce inflammation: Modulation of Immune Response: Acupuncture may help modulate the immune response by affecting the activity of immune cells, cytokines (signaling molecules involved in inflammation), and other immune factors. This modulation can help regulate the inflammatory process and promote a balanced immune response. Neuroendocrine Regulation: Acupuncture can influence the release of neurotransmitters and hormones, such as endorphins, serotonin, and cortisol. These substances can have anti-inflammatory effects and help regulate the body’s stress response, which can be closely linked to inflammation. Improved Blood Circulation: Acupuncture can enhance blood flow to the affected area, promoting the delivery of oxygen, nutrients, and immune cells, while facilitating the […]
