London, UK, February 5 -- The Oriental technique of acupuncture has a significant impact on the nervous system, according to the findings of a new British study.
The researchers from the University of York and the Hull York Medical School have found that a person getting acupuncture experiences a sensation called ‘deqi’ which deactivates the pain processing areas of the brain.
Acupuncture is a long-established Chinese method in which filiform needles are inserted into the skin at special spots to treat various pains and diseases.
