Inserting fine needles at Acupuncture is the treatment of various diseases carried out by inserting very fine needles into the specific points of the body. Insertions take place on the surface of the body through the skin, which, theoretically, have the ability to alter various biochemical and physiological conditions in order to achieve the desired effect.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; According to this theory, inserting fine needles at these points stimulate various sensory receptors that in turn, stimulate nerves that transmit impulses to the hypothalamic &ndash; pituitary system at the base of the brain. The hypothalamus &ndash; pituitary glands are responsible for releasing neurotransmitters and endorphins, which are the body&rsquo;s natural pain killing hormones.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Endorphins also play a major role in the functioning of the hormonal system, which influences the body&rsquo;s own internal regulating systems, hereby stimulating the body&rsquo;s natural healing abilities.
