Acupuncture really 'has an effect' on the human body

Although it was invented thousands of years ago, until now, the technique of acupuncture and its true effects on the human body remains controversial. While previous experiments have been conducted with conflicting results, a recent study has shown that less, when inserted into the human body, these needles also make things happen. in the body.

Scientists have long been skeptical about the value of acupuncture, and physicians have questioned whether the techniques conducted in the study are correct. Some other studies have shown that acupuncture is actually 'effective' , but only psychologically deceiving a placebo. In a study published recently in Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, scientists have seriously measured the biological effects of acupuncture on the human body.

If you acupuncture properly, your body will release more nitric oxide at the point (acupuncture point) that the needles insert.

In the study, scientists took acupuncture on 25 people aged 18-60, both men and women. Then they conducted 2 tactics. Firstly, every 5 minutes they will take needles within 2 minutes. Secondly, they use heat to impact the acupuncture areas. Next, they used a device that could measure molecules to determine if nitric oxide was released in areas of acupuncture.

As a result, they discovered that if you correctly acupuncture, the body will release more nitric oxide at the point (acupuncture point) that the needles insert. This amount of nitric oxide will increase blood flow and stimulate the body to release more of the natural anesthetic chemicals, thereby giving the patient a warm or cool feeling.

And like many previous studies, this small sample size of the study has led many people to doubt the conclusions it draws. However, it has shown good signs in finding specific answers about the true effect of acupuncture. It is known that researchers will conduct more researches to find out exactly the cell biology mechanism of the phenomenon, and more clearly determine the difference between the two ways of heating and heating. accupuncture.
