Acupuncture & the Autonomic Nervous System

In this episode, Carl Clarkson unpacks how acupuncture affects the autonomic nervous system, including the balance between the sympathetic ("fight or flight") and parasympathetic ("rest and digest") systems.

Learn how acupuncture can support patients with stress, anxiety, insomnia, IBS, hot flushes, and other signs of nervous system dysregulation. Carl blends traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) concepts like yin and yang with modern clinical evidence to explain how acupuncture promotes nervous system regulation.
