Hi,

I have no research available, but figure it might have something to do with 
solving blockades in nerve paths, thereby clearing the way for oxytocin to 
flow again.
Oxy is not only a hormone, it is also a neurotransmitter, so free nerve 
paths are important to have optimal effects.
Oxy in the bloodstream is important, but it is the combination from working 
as a hormone as well as working as a neurotransmitter that makes it so 
powerful.
All in all: sounds quite logical, that acupunture might help! ;-)

Bye,

Marianne Vanderveen IBCLC, Netherlands (and about to go to bed, as she has 
to get up early tomorrow and train the volunteer bf counsellors on... 
oxytocin! hahaha)
