A quick rundown of a recent study into how acupuncture works.
Dr. Maiken Nedergaard of the University of Rochester Medical University has published a study that provides the proof many skeptics need. Nedergaard and her team of researchers studied the effects of acupuncture in mice with paw discomfort. The researchers administered thirty minutes of acupuncture to those afflicted with the painful paws. Researchers noted the immediate area surrounding the needle puncture had 24 times the level of adenosine than the rest of the body and the mice experienced a reduction in paw pain. Adenosine is a natural chemical a body produces that acts as a numbing agent to nerves.
