Knowing the mechanism of acupuncture gives a clue that it may help in migraine:
Some of the mechanisms of acupuncture, medically are that it :
-promotes blood flow
-stimulates the body’s built-in healing mechanisms
-releases natural painkillers. Inserting a needle sends a signal through the nervous system to the brain, where chemicals such as endorphins, norepinephrine and enkephalin are released.
- reduces both the intensity and perception of chronic pain
-relaxes shortened muscles
- reduces stress.
