How Acupuncture Works
Chinese medicine theorizes that Qi flows
in the meridians circulating throughout our exterior and the internal
organs. Physical and emotional well being, which are understood to be
intimately connected, depend on free and balanced circulation throughout
this system.
Acupuncture points are highly active locations along
these meridians which influence Qi circulation and body functions.
Modern science, while unable to logically explain the meridian system,
does observe some remarkable qualities about the points themselves. A Chinese
medical diagnosis will determine which points can best restore a balanced Qi flow
and state of health.
 Research shows a cascade of physiological effects take
place during acupuncture. The response includes; increased multilevel brain
activity, widespread neurotransmitter changes, immune and hormonal balance,
improved local circulation, decreased inflamatory reaction, autonomic regulation
of involuntary functions such as digestive, respiratory, endocrine, circulatory
systems, and more.

centers in the brain, see the following article at Acupuncture.com:
