Acupuncture has thousands of years of data and practice supporting its use, with emerging mechanistic data on how needle configurations impact organs and inflammatory molecules.

“Um I think for people who know, uh acupuncture makes perfect sense as something that would be a valuable tool, right? thousands of years of data uh and and practice um less known about mechanism but Chufu Ma's lab at Harvard in recent years has been studying how different needle configurations um impact different organs that's in mouse models but you know different inflammatory molecules or anti-inflammatory molecules. So there's some mechanistic data starting to come out.”
