Acupuncture is working with an energetic force that functions in the body known as Qi. Our bodies contain a duality, being both a physical reality and an energetic reality. The quantum-mechanical property of being regarded as both a wave and a particle. Qi could perhaps be correlated to a concept of electricity in our bodies.
Electricity is essential to life and the effects of it can be seen in nerves in the body. This energy or electricity is used to transmit information, muscles use it to force contractions, and the brain uses it to think. The heart’s rhythm comes from an electrical pacemaker and the eyes use electricity to register photons.
Piezoelectricity is something that is being created continuously in our bodies through the formation of bone, DNA, and various proteins. Looking at the orientation of the collagen fibers and the osteoblasts cells that are stimulated by the tiny electrical currents produced by this deformation of collagen in the stimulation of bone growth is one example of piezoelectric activity in the body.
Collagen produces electricity and therefore electricity guides bone growth. It also is an electrical producer and is a semiconductor that is found everywhere in the body. The collagen is what produces the electricity in the bone formation as well as in the fascia and other parts of the body.
Collagen is a principal ingredient of fascia and the collagen in fascia is laid down along lines of mechanical stress that will generate tiny electrical charges every time it is stretched, moved, or manipulated.
Fascia is piezoelectric and in essence is an interconnected and living electrical web in our body.
This could help to explain the various acupuncture channels and primary meridians as well as the acupuncture points and other pathways employed.
Needle manipulation promotes tissue healing by producing biochemical, vasomotor, and neural modulatory effects on connective tissues which thus generates an electrical charge.
A further investigation could be led towards understanding acupuncture in relation to the laws of physics and quantum physics.
