Acupuncture originated in China and is now practised throughout the world. Although acupuncture has been practised for thousands of years, evidence of its effectiveness is still controversial.
Internationally, scientific research into Chinese medicine is active, however, there are therapeutic areas where there is higher quality, clinical evidence. Furthermore, the holistic and highly individualised treatment for patients may not, in fact, be amenable to scientific studies.
I invite you to read up on the effectiveness of acupuncture for specific conditions or symptoms on the world wide web and make your own informed decision based on the extensive high quality recent research.
