Acupuncture Suppresses Epilepsy
Acupuncture suppresses epilepsy and benefits sleep. Researchers tested electroacupuncture in a laboratory experiment to determine the effects of low-frequency (10 Hz) simulation of acupoint GB20 (Fengchi) on epilepsy. Electroencephalogram (EEG) results demonstrate that electroacupuncture significantly suppresses brain epileptiform discharges and simultaneously improves sleep patterns. In addition, the researchers discovered a biochemical mechanism responsible for acupuncture’s […]
