Alpha Acupuncture: Rewiring the Brain for Balance and Renewal

Alpha Acupuncture: The Quest for Brain Balance
Discover the New Brain Science Behind Acupuncture

What if a simple needle could do more than relieve pain-what if it could retrain your brain?

In this groundbreaking book, biochemist and licensed acupuncturist Dr. Hans-Thomas Richter bridges the ancient wisdom of Chinese medicine with cutting-edge neuroscience. Alpha Acupuncture: The Quest for Brain Balance reveals how acupuncture activates alpha brain waves and stimulates the vagus nerve, promoting deep parasympathetic healing, emotional regulation, and neuroplasticity.

This is not just another acupuncture book. It is a visionary exploration of how modern research is validating what traditional medicine has known for centuries: the body can heal itself-when the brain is brought into balance.

• How alpha waves promote clarity, creativity, and calm-and why modern life suppresses them

• Why the vagus nerve is the master key to your autonomic nervous system-and how acupuncture regulates it

• The neurobiological mechanisms behind acupuncture's ability to reduce pain, inflammation, and anxiety

• Case studies and insights from over a decade of clinical practice

• The emerging role of acupuncture in neuromodulation and integrative brain health

Whether you're a patient, practitioner, or researcher, this book will transform your understanding of what acupuncture is-and what it can do.
