According to ancient theory; all these points have a direct access to stimulate the meridians, which are imaginary channels from where critical energy flows. There are more than 360 input points; when needles are inserted or someway stimulation of these points is done then it either interrupts or stimulates the energy flow.

This interruption or stimulation of points can cause analgesic effect that will cut down or totally eliminate pain. It can even suffer a more strong energy flow which can cure the various health problems.

I have seen question posted where the creator has offered ten points for the correct answer. I wouldn't want to abuse that but would love it for particularly important questions. Can anyone tell me how it is done?

People entice you to answer their questions by saying they will give you 10 points, for best answer.
When you pick a best answer, that user gets 10 points
There isnt such a thing as a 10 point question.
