Physiological Effect
There are 4 physiological systems at play when an acupuncture needle stimulates the bodies self-healing/survival mechanisms. Clinically acupuncture stimulates all 4 of the following systems.
1. Nervous system - which co-ordinates our response to external and internal stimuli
2. Cardiovasular system - which provides energy active molecules, highway transportation of endocrine molecules, and cellular cleansing
3. Endocrine system - which secretes molecules for different conditions
4. Immune system - which defends the body
