Hi there.

My name is Nimai and we have a study group where different health
practitioners get together and we study the different holistic methods and
their process.  Many times the group is stimulated through raising a
question that naturally would stimulate the curiosity or a need to
investigate deeply in the works or minds of the doctors pioneering in that
field of medicine.  We appreciate the value that this questions has in the
growth of our study group.  We are interested in the investigative process;
where we have a chance to review and cultivate the fundamental idea behind
the mechanisim of that specific therapy in review.

So I hope you would like to join in this stimulating conversation by giving
us feedback some of your understanding on the different subjects that come up.

Question:  Is there any neurological involvement when an acupuncture point
is stimulated?

We know that acupuncture stimulation has influence in the regulation of the
specific function of the organ.  For example, if the stomach is in excess or
hyperfunctioning;
we can use points to calm this excess function.  We understand that there is
no possibility of any function
without the neurologic process or connection.  So how is the relation
between the acupuncture qi message sent by the stimulation of a specific
point to that neurologic activity connected directly with that organ function?

Hoping to hear from you soon.

Nimai.
