ACUPUNCTURE
IN THE NEWS
ACUPUNCTURE IN ITS HOMELAND
CHINA (SHANGHAI) 1981
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."
