Wired for Balance: Acupuncture, the Nervous System, and the Secrets of Longevity bridges the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with the discoveries of modern neuroscience to reveal how balance within the body creates vitality, longevity, and emotional freedom.
Dr. Amanda Archuleta, D.A.O.M., L.Ac., DOM, guides readers through an illuminating journey where acupuncture and nervous system science meet. Drawing from classical Chinese teachings and contemporary research on the vagus nerve, heart rate variability, and neuroplasticity, she explains how the body's natural rhythms mirror the pathways of healing described in ancient texts.
This book explores how the Five Spirits of Chinese medicine, Shen, Hun, Po, Yi, and Zhi, shape emotion, purpose, and well-being. It also offers gentle practices, reflections, and rituals to help readers restore calm, nourish vitality, and cultivate resilience in an overstimulated world.
Both timeless and timely, Wired for Balance invites readers to reconnect with the body's innate intelligence and discover how ancient wisdom and modern science speak the same language, the language of balance.
