Glucocorticoid resistance [Our previous research found that nasal acupuncture addresses AR-related nasal mucosal and immune system interactions and the Th1/Th2 imbalance, such that Th2 cells and the secretion of cytokines promotes a Th1/Th2 balance. We also found that clinical symptoms following nasal acupuncture improved, and there was regulation of serum eosinophils and cell counts of IL-4 in nasal secretions in patients with AR [Acupuncture effects produced by stimulation of the corresponding meridian acupoints, and through these meridians that are adjusted through the skin, functional adjustments can be made, the balance of Yin and Yang to correct the pathological phenomena of partial tide can occur, and the function of the body can be brought back to normal status. To achieve the purpose of treating diseases, research has shown that acupuncture points may be a low resistance point, i.e., a subcutaneous adjustment system (meridian) and hub. Acupuncture may be one method by which the central nervous system can be stimulated; subsequent adjustments to the neuroendocrine and humoral immune networks in the central nervous system can then, in turn, affect the target organs. fMRI can monitor the activity of specific brain functional areas under conditions of acupuncture that extract qi. Visualization of the activity of specific acupuncture effects in the brain may provide an effective means for exploring the mechanisms of acupuncture based on the theory of TCM coupled with medical imaging technology.In the current clinic, we have found [
