Q:How Might Acupuncture Work?
A: It is proposed that acupuncture produces its effects through regulating the nervous system, help body releasing natural pain-killing biochemicals such as endorphins and immune system cells at specific sites in the body.
In addition, studies have shown that acupuncture may alter brain chemistry by changing the release of neurotransmitters and neurohormones and, thus, affecting the parts of the central nervous system related to sensation and involuntary body functions, such as immune reactions and processes that regulate a person's blood pressure, blood flow, and body temperature.
Our body is made up of meridians and collaterals.Half the meridians are yin, which they say seems to correspond to the parasympathetic nervous system. In this theory stimulating these meridians leads to relaxation, a slower heart, reduced blood pressure, muscular release, etc. The other half of the meridians are therefore yang, which is said to produce increased sympathetic nervous system activity - tension, a faster heart beat, higher blood pressure, and more contraction in the muscles.Acupoint Therapy focuses on bringing the yin and yang (parasympathetic and sympathetic) back into balance.
In my experience, this is the reason why acupuncture can treat musculoskeletal problem, neurological problem,internal problem, women problem, pediatric problem, skin problem, weight control, facial rejuvenation, etc, I use acupuncture only or combined with herb ,lifestyle and diet consultation. You can find detailed mechanism for specific problems in the articles later or consult me by email
