Practitioners believe that all these hypotheses are valid in deducing the efficacy of acupuncture. According to acupuncture principles, needles are inserted into acupuncture points known as meridians, which are believed to reflect the abnormalities in internal organs to functional systems on the body surface.
Acupuncture is thought to promote smooth circulation and encourage metabolism by facilitating communication when there is an obstruction in the flow of vital energy, Qi caused by various factors.
In the analogy, acupuncture is like placing needles to clear blockages in the transmission line when there is an increase in demand, similar to repair a transformer that cannot supply power when the demand is high.
