Acu point plasticity refers to a patho-physiologically dynamic change which is manifested mainly as a neuronal inflammatory reflection in the special area(s) of the body surface under pathological conditions. These responses of acupoint sensitization could activate simultaneously self-healing system in the body and induce the curative effects.
