Acupuncture Regulates Immune Function Through Specific Neural Circuit Activation

Acupuncture regulates immune function through specific neural circuit activation

Traditional explanations of acupuncture often emphasize direct acupoint-organ relationships, focusing on local stimulation or endpoint physiological changes.

How Acupuncture Rewires Neuro-Immune Circuits to Treat Disease at Its Root

Acupuncture has long been used to restore physiological balance, yet its biological basis has remained elusive. Recent research reveals that acupuncture operates through neuro-immune regulatory circuits rather than isolated local effects. Mechanical stimulation at acupoints is converted into neural electrical and biochemical signals, reshaping local immune microenvironments and triggering coordinated responses across the nervous system. These sig
