Wellness
Acupuncture can play an important role in helping reach your wellness goals including:
Stress reduction: Acupuncture can help to reduce stress, anxiety and depression by lowering levels of stress hormones like cortisol and stimulating the release of endorphins; calm the spirit, and remove energetic blockages that create unbalanced emotional states.
Improved sleep: Acupuncture has been shown to help people with insomnia fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
​
Digestive health: Acupuncture can help regulate digestion function and alleviate symptoms of conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bloating, indigestion and acid reflux.
Women’s health: Acupuncture can help to regulate the menstrual cycle, relieve symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), fibroids, ovarian cysts and alleviate menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats and anxiety.
Boosted immune system: Acupuncture has been found to help boost the immune system by increasing the production of white blood cells. It also helps strengthen the lungs and reduce allergy symptoms. Acupuncture has been very successful at helping people recover from Long Covid.
Enhanced mental clarity: Acupuncture has been shown to improve cognitive function and mental clarity, helping to increase focus and productivity.
Acute Injuries
Hit Medicine is well known in martial arts schools in China for treating acute injuries such as strains, sprains, contusions, even bone fractures. We use herbal poultices and trauma liniments along with gentle acupuncture. The sooner an injury is treated, the better the outcome, improving the chances that the injury will not become a lifelong, chronic restriction.
