TEAM is a system that seeks to utilize the body’s potential to heal, regardless what the complexity of the disorder is
Therapeutic effect of acupuncture (and other TEAM healing techniques) involves four major signalling networks of the body, that is:
1) Central nervous system, CNS:
* Communicates to other organ systems and body parts via release of neurotransmittersalong the neural pathways (electrical signalling),
* Stimulates other systems (e.g. endocrine system), thus, resulting in the regulation of production of hormonesand cytokines.
2) Endocrine system:
* Communicates to other organ systems (foremost endocrine glands and target cells of various organs) via hormonesthat are transported by the blood (endocrine signalling).
* Communicates to other organ systems (foremost endocrine glands and target cells of various organs) via hormonesthat are transported by the blood (endocrine signalling).
3) Cell signalling system:
Occurs via cytokines:
* Cytokine fr. Greek cyto "cell" + kinisi "movement",
* Are small proteins that are produced by broad range of cells (e.g. immune cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, stromal cells, etc.) to communicate to neighbouring cells (paracrine signalling) or to signal about changes within themselves (autocrine signalling),
* Are transported viaintracellular fluid, extracellular fluid or blood, depending on the type of tissue they originate from.

4) Subcutaneous fascia (a form of connective tissue proper):
* Is a fibrous membrane, one of the largest and most extensive body organs, where electrical, cellular and tissue remodelling signals are responsive to mechanical forces (e.g. massage, acupuncture, Gua Sha, acupressure ,cupping , etc.),
* Is found in between other tissues everywhere in the body (e.g. neural pathways, bloodand lymph tissue, and supportive tissue like cartilage and bone) and serves as a 'body-wide signaling network', that transmits mechanical signalsto and from the abundant fibroblasts, immune, vascular, and neural cells present within tissues(mechanical signalling).
