From 1997 to 1999, in one of the first studies in the US to explore the effectiveness of acupuncture in alleviating hot flashes, insomnia and nervousness, it was found that during the course of acupuncture treatments, hot flashes decreased by 35% and insomnia decreased by 50%. A follow-up study revealed hot flashes significantly decreased in those receiving acupuncture, compared to those receiving routine care. A 2002 pilot study in England found that acupuncture reduced the frequency and severity of hot flashes in women being treated for breast cancer.

Few people might find the idea of being placed by needles quite soothing in their search for weight control. However, this ancient Chinese alternative therapy tries to deliver a control device, enabling the patient to handle hunger desires more properly in the long run. In Acupuncture, there are particular spots on the body being targeted from the hair-like needles. As these items are put by the needles, certain hormones are produced through the body. These substances work by helping you control hunger and effectively control the impulse to binge.

At New Leaf Acupuncture, Dublin, we recognise that stress can manifest itself in the body in many ways – sleep disorders, gastrointestinal issues, immune system weakness, pains in the body, etc. We look for and treat the root of their cause. Acupuncture can help to reverse the above changes. It increases serotonin production while also releasing the body’s natural pain- killers, endorphins and enkephalins and decreases cortisol secretion. Patients report feeling more relaxed and focused after an acupuncture session. As the treatments continue, patients often notice that “things that used to really bother me no longer do.”
