The NIH (National Institute of Healith) studies suggest that acupuncture stimulates the production of chemical transmitters between the neurons (neurotransmitters) and increases the sense of wellbeing.<\/p>\n
Acupuncture is thought to be particularly effective in inducing the opioid peptide (endorphins, enkephalins, and dynorphins) which are closely involved with the perception of pain in the central nervous system, thereby regulating and reducing pain.<\/p>\n
Acupuncture is thought to affect electric energy between tissues, thereby facilitating healing by allowing transfer of nutrients to injured or affected cells.<\/p>\n
Another theory considers that acupuncture affects the blood concentration of triglycerides, cholesterol, and phospholipids, helping the production of healthy blood and ensuring the free flow of oxygen.<\/p>\n
Despite of the numerous studies, concrete evidence on how acupuncture works by Western science remains elusive. Several theories have been claimed, and whatever the explanation, the merit and success of acupuncture can stand along.<\/p>\n
