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.

My story

I met my good friend Yessy in this current location about 5 years ago. She has been doing my hair since then but was working for someone else in different salons. When she decided to open her very own hair studio, she offered me a spot to work with her. I had been interested in aesthetic medicine for a number of years after turning 40. I used to have a vibrant practice in internal medicine when I lived in San Francisco but I had to give it all up as I struggled to raise my kids, manage a demanding career, and live a modest lifestyle. So when I decided to return to clinical medicine I found out it wasn’t easy as taking a test. I spent 2 years retraining in the hospital and clinics under the supervision of other physicians for over 1,000 hours of clinical medical education and approved to have my medical license reinstated. Now I have worked my way back up to the top of aesthetic medicine and can offer my patients the safest, most innovative procedures and treatments in facial and bodily medical enhancements. But it’s not just the work I do that makes me so happy, it’s the people who I engage with and touch their lives. Come meet me, I would love to help you reach your aesthetic goals.
