Acupuncture and Post Traumatic Stress
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese system of healing in which thin needles are inserted into selected points in the body to relieve pain and stimulate healing. Traditional practitioners believe the process treats a person's vital energy or qi (pronounced "chee"), which flows along natural pathways known as meridians. Western researchers theorize the needles activate deep sensory nerves, causing the pituitary gland and midbrain to release natural painkillers called endorphins.
