Electroacupuncture Medicine: A Gateway to Holistic Healing
In the realm of alternative medicine, Electroacupuncture Medicine (EAM) stands out as a remarkable fusion of ancient wisdom and modern technology. Rooted in the principles of traditional acupuncture, EAM harnesses the power of electricity to harmonize with the body’s natural energy pathways, facilitating the release of vital biochemical substances.
What is EAM?
Electroacupuncture is a type of acupuncture that uses a low-level electrical current to stimulate the body’s release of beta-endorphins. At the same time, ACTH (a precursor to Cortisol) is also released and provides a powerful anti-inflammatory effect. This is a mighty combination to shift your body out of a chronic pain cycle. A series of treatments can provide relief for months or even years as a higher baseline level of endorphin continues to be released by the body even after treatment is completed.
Harnessing Synergy with the Human Body
Electroacupuncture Medicine utilizes a type of electricity that is congruent with the human body to elicit the release of endorphins, hormones, neurotransmitters and other chemicals to regulate internal body functions.
Did you know that your pituitary gland, located behind your forehead, produces beta-endorphins (endogenous opioids) that are 18-30x stronger than morphine?!
Not only are they strong and natural, but they are also non-addictive and provide long-lasting pain relief.
This is an amazing fact that suggests our body’s natural and healthy state is meant essentially to be pain-free. But, how does one release them? Exercise-Meditation-Sex-Music-Laughter and Acupuncture!!
The electrical current utilized in Electro-Acupuncture is carefully calibrated to resonate with the body’s own bioelectricity, creating a synergistic resonance that amplifies the therapeutic effects of acupuncture. This synergy serves as a catalyst for the release of a myriad of biochemical substances within the body, including:
Endorphins: Often referred to as the body’s natural painkillers, endorphins are released in response to the electrical stimulation of EAM. These endogenous opioids not only alleviate pain but also induce feelings of euphoria and well-being
Hormones: EAM has been shown to modulate hormone levels, including cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone, and various reproductive hormones. By restoring hormonal balance, EAM can help regulate bodily functions such as metabolism, sleep-wake cycles, and stress response.
Neurotransmitters: The electrical stimulation of EAM prompts the release of neurotransmitters, chemical messengers that facilitate communication between nerve cells. This neurotransmitter modulation plays a vital role in regulating mood, cognition, and autonomic functions.
Other Chemicals: Beyond endorphins, hormones, and neurotransmitters, EAM also elicits the release of other biochemical substances, including cytokines, growth factors, and antioxidants. These chemicals contribute to the body’s healing processes, promoting tissue repair, immune function, and overall well-being.
Regulating Internal Body Functions
By harnessing the power of electricity to stimulate specific acupuncture points, EAM acts as a catalyst for the regulation of internal body functions. Whether targeting pain management, stress reduction, hormonal balance, or immune modulation, EAM offers a holistic approach to health and wellness.
