ABSTRACT

Acupuncture, an ancient healing practice, has long been associated with pain relief and therapeutic benefits. Recent advancements in understanding its mechanisms reveal the presence of electrically conducting ellipses, known as acupuncture points, embedded within the body's semi-conducting tissue along specific pathways called acupuncture meridians. Mathematical models, particularly nonlinear equations, have been instrumental in describing the behavior of these acupuncture meridians, predicting the existence of both electric impulses and waves emanating from treated acupuncture points. While electric impulses have been experimentally measured, the discovery of waves only came later, confirming the predictions of the mathematical model.

Pain, often described as the body's cry for help, manifests as a wave signal transmitted along the acupuncture meridian to the brain. Acupuncture treatments that induce waves have the potential to block the propagation of these pain-impulse waves, thereby providing analgesia and pain relief. This phenomenon forms the basis of acupuncture's efficacy in managing pain and even anesthesia, enabling painless surgical procedures with accelerated recovery times.

This paper explores the role of acupuncture waves in analgesia, elucidating the intricate mechanisms behind acupuncture's therapeutic effects and its application in pain management and anesthesia.
