Acupuncture inspires many's sense of awe, fascination, and also skepticism.

But let's try to de-mystify acupuncture.

Recently immerging fields of bioinformatics, network topology gives insides and understanding of what seemed incomprehensible about acupuncture before.

Acupuncture works on many different levels. It works on...

• Trigger points in the muscles, releasing the tension.

• Pressure points in the skin, activating the nervous system and circulatory system.

• The energy of the body.

Our body has different layers and levels.

There is a superficial level of the skin, muscles, and connecting tissues.

The nerve cells and receptors on the skin, muscles and connective tissues join the deeper layers of the nervous system, brain, and internal organs.

There are chemical reactions and exchanges between organs, tissues, and cells.

There is also a constant response between our bodies and our environment.

Acupuncture helps our system to maintain a healthier equilibrium.

Acupuncture is the practice of inserting thin, solid needles into specific body points. The points are organized into pathways called acupuncture meridians. Like blood vessels circulating blood and oxygen, the acupuncture pathways circulate vital energy to all the organs, tissues, and cells. Acupuncture is a part of more extensive Asian holistic healing systems and natural medicine.
