Blood Circultaion-similar to the effect on lymph flow, Acupuncture increases the capillary dilation and rate of flow, helping to move along any stagnant factors or weaknesses either in the walls of the capillaries, arteries and veins, or in the blood chemistry itself. Additionally, the fact that we are penetrating the skin with a needle increases blood circulation in of itself. This is one of acupuncture’s clearest benefits-when blood circulation is good, blood is feeding all cells and also sweeping away any unnecessary or used chemicals or cellular biproducts. Things can get messy very quickly when the blood is not circulating smoothly or broadly. Acupuncture is documented to improve blood circulation and hence the nutrients and very breath of life every cell needs.
