Stress is a major contributor to various health conditions, as it over-activates the sympathetic nervous system (SNS)—also known as the "fight or flight" response. While this response is essential for short-term survival, chronic stress keeps the body in a heightened state, leading to high blood pressure, anxiety, insomnia, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and weakened immunity. Over time, prolonged SNS activation disrupts circulation, increases inflammation, and exhausts the body's energy reserves, making it more susceptible to disease.

​

Scalp Acupuncture is a highly effective technique that directly influences brain activity and autonomic nervous system regulation. By stimulating specific points on the scalp, it helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS)—the body's "rest and digest" system—which counteracts stress by lowering heart rate, improving digestion, relaxing muscles, and promoting emotional balance. This shift from sympathetic dominance to parasympathetic activation allows the body to recover, heal, and function optimally.

Additionally, Scalp Acupuncture enhances circulation to the brain, balances neurotransmitters, and supports cognitive function, making it an excellent therapy for stress-related disorders; like anxiety, depression, migraines, and chronic fatigue. By regulating the nervous system and bringing the body back to balance, Scalp Acupuncture not only alleviates stress, but also helps prevent long-term health complications associated with chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation.​
