Acupunture

Suppose that acupunture is not painful...because of the extreme slenderness of the needle, most people compare the sensations to "less than a mosquito bite."




Haha, that's me, accepting the treatment. The result is good =)

Gambateh brother!

acupunture can stimulate the descending pathway of your body in which it will cause your reticular formation to stimulate release of endogenous opiates such as endorphin to bind to your opiate receptor at your nociceptor. so that your nociceptor can inhibit the release of substance P. substance P will not be release into the spinal cord and thus thalamus was not stimulated to percept the stimulus as pain. therefore, acupunture not only painless, it can relieve pain. huuuh.. one of the subtopic that i learnt for my final sem exam.
