Boston Chinese Acupuncture&Herbal Medicine Center

Acupuncture and herbs work holistically. Traditional Chinese medicine views the human body as a well integrated system rather than a collection of individual parts, and treatment is geared to restoring overall balance of the entire system.Treatments are quite safe. Many people feel so relaxed and peaceful that they fall asleep while being treated.
In 1997, the World Health Organization recognized Acupuncture as an effective method of treatment for 40 different conditions.
Acupuncture has very few side effects. One research study in England showed that in 3000 acupuncture treatments, the only side effect was an occasional bruise. The combination of Traditional Chinese Medicine and western medicine helps avoid some surgeries
and helps in recovery from surgery.The effects of the combination of different herbs can not be replaced by single  chemicals.
How Acupuncture and Herbs Work
By boosting the immunity of the body. Acupuncture can increase the activities of natural killer cells and lymphocytes, and increase the blood concentration of antibodies.
By increasing the pain threshold. Researches showed that acupuncture could reduce neuronal response to painful stimulation while increasing the internal inhibitory effects on pain sensation.
By reducing blood cholesterol levels. Certain herbs such as Hawthorn have been proven to decrease blood cholesterol level and prevent cardiac diseases.
By reducing the level of stress hormones such as norepinephine, dopamine, corticostrone and ACTH.
By increasing anti-inflammatory effects. Acupuncture can inhibit the release of some pain substances.
By improving the anti-virus function of the immune system.
By coordinating the functions of different bodily systems
