1) The document summarizes key findings from a research paper on acupoint stimulation in treating psychological disorders.
2) It describes how stimulating acupoints on the face and body can send deactivating signals to the amygdala to reduce limbic arousal caused by an emotional trigger or problem.
3) With the stress response reduced, the hippocampus can then record the memory without the associated stress, potentially altering neural pathways over time so that the memory no longer carries the same limbic arousal.
