Can accupuncture help with hearing or eyesight problems?
From a western Scientific perspective it has been observed that nerve endings are stimulated by needles; biochemical changes occur so that endorphins are stimulated and these act as pain relievers and now more recently, CAT scans or brain imaging machines are observing that if a needle is placed into a specific point for a specific object, such as to improve eye sight or problems with the eye, then the brain is stimulated in the corresponding area to do with vision. This is recent research which was published last year and has resulted from collaborative work between Chinese and Californian scientists. We hope that more research using this incredible scientific instrument will allow us to understand what occurs in the brain when a needle is placed into the body for a specific purpose.
