What are common symptoms acupuncture can treat?
When something is unbalanced our bodies let us know. Symptoms are the way our bodies communicate with us. As we all know, symptoms are usually uncomfortable (headache, upset stomach, cough, fever etc.). However, they’re a good sign because our bodies are signaling that something is wrong so that we can take proper action to heal.
If we continuously ignore these symptoms, our health will suffer. The body is holistic in nature, all of its systems interact and affect one another. So the more we ignore our bodies trying to communicate with us, the more imbalances are created.
If you are constantly feeling unwell but all tests and checkups from your doctors come back as normal, it’s time to try something new. Chinese Medicine and acupuncture can help you! If you experience symptoms in 2 or more of these categories, acupuncture and Chinese medicine can help balance your body and mind so that health can be restored.
