How acupuncture relieves pain is unclear to Western science. Evidence points to two mechanisms; a nerve block, and a release of pain-killing chemicals (endorphin). First, the "gate theory" suggests that pain impulses are blocked from reaching the spinal cord or brain at various nerve connections or "gates" to these areas. This would be similar to how reflexes operate.
For example, when you stub your toe, the nerve impulse goes from your toe to your spine. Then it divides, causing a nerve impulse to the muscles in your leg to pull your toe back. Another impulse proceeds to your brain, causing you to feel the pain, and allowing your conscious mind to recover your sense of dignity at having just looked awkward. When the impulse reaches your brain, it stimulates the release of narcotic-like substances called endorphin ("endogenous morphine"), which reduce pain systemically.
What seems to be the case, is that acupuncture causes the body to react as if it has been injured, but without actually causing the pain that would accompany such an injury.

Just as nature requires time to restore damaged resources, the human body requires a reasonable amount of time to recover and heal in order to reach homeostasis and allow the body to function properly again.
Furthermore, the amount of time it takes to reach homeostasis differs for every unique individual, depending on his or her body structure and rhythm.
The Meridian System (, also called Channel Network) is a Traditional Medicine belief about a path through which the life-energy known as "Qi" flows.
