Acupuncture is a very restful treatment as compared to the other medical therapy. It drains out the mental and physical stress fully and offers one a really refreshing and energetic feeling. The patient feels very happy after going through this procedure.

Acupuncture belongs from the ancient times to Oriental Chinese medicine, and works on the phenomenon of the balance between yin and yang forces. This balance additionally referred to as 'Qi' or very important energy flows through a path of twelve meridians. The target of the acupuncturist is to insert skinny fine needles on these pathways at specific purpose and build manipulations to alleviate pain. It is believed that insertion of those needles opens the blocked channels wherever energy is stagnated and change the energy to flow freely, so action the diseases.

Acupuncture has currently occupied a vital place within the field of research once the high success rates and recognition. Recently researchers at the Centre of Translational Neuro medicine found that Adenosine molecule is discharged at the sites around the insertion of Acupuncture Needles. Adenosine molecule is itself a natural potent painkiller, has anti-inflammatory properties and regulates the circadian rhythm. Once activated once after an injury, adenosine blocks the pain nerve endings to reduce the pain.

The very impressive finding for the scientists was, that adenosine discharged due to the insertion of acupuncture needles additionally had helpful effects on deeper tissues, though according to the theory of adenosine release due to injury; adenosine should solely have its effects on superficial tissues as needles are inserted at superficial level.

According to this recent research, adenosine release was increased by twenty four times at the sites of acupuncture treatment as compared to the body components wherever treatment wasn't aimed upon. Then eastern and western medicine were used together; and deoxycoformycin that is an anti-cancer drug and sustain adenosine within the body for a longer time, was used along with acupuncture and results proved to be positive. So there are brighter possibilities for acupuncture in future.

Responses brought about due to acupuncture are mainly the impact of nerve signal carried to the CNS which in turn brings about peripheral changes inside the organ system and additionally inside the physiology of the CNS itself. It greatly affects the hormonal levels additionally due to stimulation of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. Thus successful results are achieved with acupuncture due to tremendous positive changes in blood flow, hormones and neurotransmitters.
