Taiwanese researchers discovered acupuncture triggering stem cell release healing damaged organs naturally. Scientists at China Medical University found that electroacupuncture at specific meridian points stimulates bone marrow to release mesenchymal stem cells into circulation, which then migrate to injured organs and promote tissue repair. This mechanism explains acupuncture's therapeutic effects through measurable biological processes rather than placebo.

Traditional Chinese medicine has used acupuncture for thousands of years, but Western medicine dismissed it as placebo due to lack of biological mechanism. Taiwanese researchers using advanced imaging and cellular tracking discovered that needle stimulation at specific points triggers measurable stem cell mobilization—providing the first clear biological explanation for acupuncture's effects.

Electroacupuncture (needles with mild electrical current) at ST36 (Zusanli point) and GV20 (Baihui point) causes a 300% increase in circulating stem cells within 24 hours. These mobilized stem cells express homing signals drawing them to damaged tissues—injured liver, heart, kidneys, or brain—where they differentiate into organ-specific cells and release healing factors. It's like acupuncture triggers the body's internal repair dispatch system.

Stroke patients receiving electroacupuncture within 48 hours of stroke showed 40% better functional recovery than those receiving standard care alone. Liver cirrhosis patients showed reduced fibrosis markers. Heart attack survivors demonstrated improved cardiac function. The mechanism is entirely biological—traced stem cells from bone marrow to damaged organs. Skeptical Western physicians are reconsidering acupuncture given this mechanistic evidence. We're discovering that ancient healing practices work through sophisticated biological mechanisms science is only now capable of detecting.

Please, always refer to your Obstetrician or Midwife for questions about what is safe in pregnancy.

While acupuncture is FANTASTIC in treating pain of all kinds with no negative impact during pregnancy, sometimes a pregnant person needs something else, something more. So, again, rely on your provider who knows you and your particular situation for sound, evidence based medical advice regardless of whether it’s during pregnancy or any other time of life.

My esteemed colleague Dr. Paula Bruno, Ph.D., L.Ac., is a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist, an AOBTA-CP traditional Chinese bodywork therapist, an author, and a health coach. She’s written an amazing book about how acupuncture and Chinese Medicine can help patients with Ehlers Danlos, “Chinese Medicine and the Management of Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome”,
and I highly recommend it.

This is a recent post on her website.

Its amazing to see the coverage of Princess Catherine's recent revelation that she tried acupuncture during her cancer experience. While the Princess did not discuss how it may have helped, she did discuss the challenges of and of from those treatments.

This week's cancer survivorship story sheds some light on how acupuncture can support recovery after cancer treatment. "Christine" is a bowel cancer survivor that I see in my Acupuncture for Cancer Survivors Clinic at the The London Acupuncture Clinic in Wimpole Street, London https://lnkd.in/eDwnh26U

Christine writes:
"I've been seeing Beverley for treatment for nearly a year. Initially it was to see if acupuncture could help the chemo induced in my feet which was causing balance, standing and walking issues.

As acupuncture treatment started I realised and started to process the trauma of a sudden , major bowel operation, chemo and how my body and emotions had been affected. It has been a learning journey for both of us and I've really appreciated being able to rely on Beverley's knowledge and expertise when I haven't known what I've needed.

I am now in a completely different place to a year ago. I no longer have any flashbacks and can talk about what happened without any anxiety rising. A bonus was my jaw pain through night teeth grinding disappeared after a couple of months. I've had a gradual return of energy, stamina, resilience and creativity.

Although I still have some neuropathy in my feet my balance has greatly improved, I can drive again and for longer distances, can now stand and chat to people which has helped my social life, can climb stairs more easily, walk faster and further and I can choose whether I sit down when out rather than being forced to find a seat.

As the acupuncture treatment has been tailored to my needs it has also helped with gut problems after my last colonoscopy and helped my body when fighting a virus. Beverley's tips have been very useful to my recovery and ones I won't forget.

It's been a year of ups and downs as life has thrown other things into the mix but looking back I can see how Beverley's tailored approach has really helped. Sessions deal with what is needed at that time and I'm sure that has aided my progress. Although I'm now 18 months clear of cancer I'm on a high monitoring programme as it's the type that can return so I shall still be continuing to see her. I am very glad that I discovered Beverley and I hope that others will benefit from sessions with her and having help with recovery from their cancer diagnosis and effects of treatments."

It was great to see Christine recently in clinic, and to see how vital, alive, and energetic she now is.

I wet the bed chronically from birth through my teenage years. Please, if your child wets the bed, be so, so, so kind and gentle and supportive and compassionate. It's a horrible, awful, embarrassing and shame-inducing thing to go through and the LAST thing they need is any negativity, even expressing your mild frustration.

Acupuncture can help! And kids take acupuncture so well. Often better than some adults. It doesn’t hurt and it doesn’t have to take very long. Pediatric acupuncture is a specialty, and Donna is terrific at helping kids feel happy, safe and confident.

I’m always amazed at the similarities between Chinese Medicine and other cultures. In Chinese Medicine we say “wind” for this situation.
