Acupuncture from the western perspective is to insert needles into the areas of designated electrical sensitivity, these in turn stimulate the nerve and chemical pathways that the body uses to regulate a healthy homeostatic function. Scientists believe that acupuncture stimulates the nervous system, as needling effects peripheral nerves, which reaches the central nervous system. The effective mechanism of acupuncture is that it can influence endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers and increase blood circulation. Thereby stimulating a healing response.
