Acupuncture, acupressure and reflexology are among the most studied complementary therapies in the world. Here is a plain-language summary.
Reflex and meridian stimulation improves peripheral blood flow, easing swelling and cold extremities.
Needling and pressure trigger endorphin release and modulate pain signalling in the nervous system.
Sessions shift the body from stress (sympathetic) to rest-and-repair (parasympathetic) mode.
Endocrine reflex zones — pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, pancreas — are worked to support regulation.
Drug-free, non-invasive therapies that can run alongside any medical treatment.
From children to the elderly, techniques are adapted for comfort and safety.
Summaries of published evidence. Results vary between individuals; these therapies complement — never replace — medical care.
