ACUPUNCTURE IN THE NEWS

ACUPUNCTURE 
IN THE NEWS 


ACUPUNCTURE IN ITS HOMELAND
CHINA (SHANGHAI) 1981

The headline in The Times of London 
captured the essence of the story: 
"Acupuncture stimulates release of 
natural painkillers, researchers say" 

In a study using mice (the results published in Nature Neuroscience), performing acupuncture was said to have "appeared to increase levels of a natural compound called adenosine, known to have anti-inflammatory properties and to help regulate sleep and ease pain." 

"...the team performed acupuncture treatments on mice that had discomfort in one paw."
