Kyoung's acupuncture style and training
Acupuncture is the stimulation of specific points (Acupuncture points) located near or on the surface of the skin (Meridians) using hair thin needles to balance or restore the flow of energy (Qi) in the body. It is among the oldest healing practices in the world. In the United States, where practitioners incorporate healing traditions from China, Japan, Korea, and other countries, acupuncture is considered part of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM).

In Western medical terms, acupuncture points are places to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue. This stimulation appears to boost the activity of your body's natural painkillers and increase blood flow and stimulates various sensory receptors that, in turn, stimulate nerves that transmit impulses to the hypothalamic-pituitary glands at the base of the brain. These glands are responsible for releasing neurotransmitters and endorphins, the body's natural pain-killing hormones. It is estimated that endorphins are 200 times more potent than morphine. Endorphins also play a big role in the functioning of the hormonal system. Some of the physiological effects observed throughout the body include increased circulation, decreased inflammation, relief from pain, relief of muscle spasms and increased T-cell count which stimulates the immune system. The substances released as a result of acupuncture not only relax the whole body, they regulate serotonin in the brain which plays a role in human disposition.
