A simple explanation of how Acupuncture works for pain? (Part 2)

Part 2. Send a signal to the brain 

The brain controls the function of the entire human body. It gathers information from the innermost and outermost parts of our body. If your pain turns into a chronic condition, the brain does not pay attention. It can be compared to people disregarding emails that are not a priority to read.

 I. Creating a signal to get the brain’s attention 

Acupuncture needles bring your brain’s attention to the problem and “order” the brain to check the situation out. The needles will increase blood flow to the affected area. The red blood cells will release oxygen and nutrients, the white blood cells will combat any pathogens and the lymph will collect and move any waste.

 II. Redirecting a traffic jam 

If you’ve ever been driving home and passed an accident, have you seen how fire trucks can block a whole lane? Similarly, when our body sends too much blood in one direction through one pathway, it can cause a little traffic jam in our body and creates swelling. We need to redirect it by using acupuncture or acupressure. The biggest thing to remember is that our body is interconnected. Have you ever heard of the ear, hand acupuncture, or foot reflexology? Those are just some examples or how each system has its own unit and “little body”. For example, if you take a head of broccoli and cut it into smaller pieces, you’re left with smaller pieces of broccoli that look whole or like a miniature version of the original. Each system has its own structure. Even a single cell in our body contains so much of our DNA to make us who we are. We insert acupuncture needles into digital points associated with the area experiencing pain.
