The response from the needles relaxes the body's nervous system and has anti-inflammatory effects. it is believed to release endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, and to influence the nervous system's response to pain. This therapeutic technique is used for a wide range of conditions such as pain management, musculoskeletal conditions, women’s health and digestive disorders, smoking cessation, sleep conditions, and overall general well-being.
