Last November, an article titled "How acupuncture fights inflammation," was published in the Harvard Gazette, which is the official news website for Harvard University. This article discussed how a team of researchers led by neuroscientists at Harvard Medical School are able to explain the underlying neuroanatomy of acupuncture through a specific signaling pathway. It has been very exciting to see the research being conducted to discover the neuroscience behind acupuncture, along with other mechanisms of function, such as on a molecular, chemical, and immunological level. It has been an important goal of mine to inform about acupuncture's effectiveness citing evidence-based research. I thought I would share this article with you all to help answer any curiosities you may have about how acupuncture works .
