how acupuncture works

The electrical engineering department of Columbia University and the medicine faculty of the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have collaborated on a study that proves how acupuncture works.

Professor Edward Yang of Columbia, acupuncture specialist Dr. Li Geng and former HKU medicine faculty dean Professor Lam Shiu-kum spearheaded the eight-year study, which shows that acupuncture works by stimulating the production of endorphins in the area where acupuncture is administered.

The study was published in the "European Journal of Physiology" in June. Researchers were in Hong Kong yesterday to discuss their work.

Hotels around the world are making efforts to attract business travelers.

东京最佳血拼街道

Posted: 22 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT

如果你在东京旅行度假,厌倦了在游客云集的古寺院和大型购物中心里给家人朋友买假期手信的话, 那么不妨来逛逛东京最独具一格、久负盛名,还略显古怪的血拼街道吧。

巢鸭地藏通商店街

一名年长的日本欧巴桑曾开心地告诉我,巢鸭就像是"欧巴桑的原宿"。不过,这里并不是指一些染着紫色头发、穿着哥特洛丽塔式衣服的中老年狂人在大街上闲逛,巢鸭大街上那些很有着装品位的中、老年人都青睐穿着红色内衣。

人们普遍认为红色具有恢复健康的特点,比如增强心脏功能、促使体温升高以及促进血液循环等。沿着地藏通商店街走下去,几乎到处都能看到各家店铺摆着像救火车颜色一样鲜红的内衣。

Maruji连锁店声称最早开创了这种时尚先河,它们家仅在巢鸭就有四家店面。

三春町的高岩寺是另一处很流行的景点,据说那里著名的地藏菩萨塑像可以保佑你疾病康复,延年益寿。
