ACUPUNCTURE FOR SKIN AND LUNG DISORDERS

It is believed that acupuncture might work by the stimulation of Raphe nuclei, which increases serotonin production. This, turn, sets off a series of reactions which culminates in the increase of glucocorticoids that modulate inflammation and other aspects of the body’s immune response.

Since many skin conditions are at least in part inflammatory acupuncture may have a positive effect through reduction of inflammation.
