Acupuncture
Acupuncture originated from China and has been practiced for more than 5,000 years. Before western modern medicine was introduced to China, Chinese doctors mainly used acupuncture to treat patients. Nowadays, acupuncture is still well-accepted by hundreds of millions of patients and recognized by all health care practitioners. Almost all hospitals in China have an acupuncture department. It has been proven by many clinic-based scientific research studies as an effective treatment to treat many issues.
On Oct 24, 2018, the president of the United States Donald J. Trump signed H.R.6 into law, the “Substance Use–Disorder Prevention that Promotes Opioid Recovery and Treatment for Patients." This legislation is the first in U.S. history to specifically name “acupuncture” and “therapeutic massage” in public documents.
