How Does It Work?
It is apparent that acupuncture stimulates the activity of the autonomic nervous system, which regulates the function of the internal organs. The internal organs control body functions like digestion, respiration, circulation, genito-urinary, musculoskeletal, neurological and metabolic functions. These organs also command various parts of the body: the eyes, ears, nose and throat; knees, back, chest, abdomen, and extremities. The internal organs are responsible for controlling emotional states such as depression, anger, fear, worry, grief, sadness, anxiety and obsessions. By restoring the normal function of the internal organs, acupuncture can control body functions, various parts of the body, and emotional states.
