Acupuncture

Meaning

Acupuncture is a therapeutic modality originating from Traditional Chinese Medicine involving the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body to influence physiological function. Within the context of hormonal health, this practice is clinically utilized to modulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the sympathetic nervous system. The goal is often to restore neuroendocrine balance and improve symptoms related to stress, reproductive cycles, and overall homeostasis. This intervention serves as a complementary approach to conventional endocrinology by addressing systemic regulatory imbalances.
