How does acupuncture work?
Acupuncture points are specific areas on the body, just beyond the surface of the skin. These points have high concentrations of nerve endings, mast cells, lymphatic vessels and capillaries. Acupuncture points are selected to help to regulate the various feedback loops in the body which turn on homeostasis; the body’s automatic ability to re-set, repair and heal.
