LDN Therapy Consultations
How LDN Works in the Body
LDN therapy works by temporarily blocking opioid receptors. This blockage triggers the body to produce more endorphins, which are natural pain-relieving chemicals. The increased endorphin production can help reduce pain and inflammation. Additionally, LDN may influence the activity of microglia, which are immune cells in the brain. By modulating these cells, LDN may help manage conditions associated with neuroinflammation. For additional details, review the Functional Medicine Integrative Functional.
