Acupuncture & the Nervous System: How It Brings You Back Into Balance

  • Vagus Nerve Regulation: Acupuncture activates key points that stimulate the vagus nerve.

  • Increases Vagal Tone: This helps your body shift out of stress and into deep relaxation

  • Activates “Rest & Digest”: Stimulating the vagus nerve supports the parasympathetic system, slowing heart rate + reducing blood pressure.

  • Balances the Stress Response: Acupuncture helps rebalance the sympathetic + parasympathetic systems so you’re not stuck in fight-or-flight

  • Supports the HPA Axis: Helps regulate stress hormones like cortisol for a more stable nervous system

  • Reduces Stress-Related Insomnia: A calmer nervous system = easier to fall asleep and stay asleep

  • Promotes Full-Body Relaxation: Improves circulation, relaxes muscles, and prepares your body for restorative sleep

  • Supports Hormone + Immune Balance: Regulates the endocrine + immune systems for deeper, more consistent rest.

  • Acupuncture helps your body reset — naturally: Perfect for stress, anxiety, and sleep support
