Acupuncture has been helping people throughout the world return to balanced health for thousands of years. Many people can personally attest to the benefit they have received through acupuncture treatments.
The National Institutes of Health released a consensus statement related to acupuncture in 1997 saying:
…promising results have emerged, for example, showing efficacy of acupuncture in adult postoperative and chemotherapy nausea and vomiting and in postoperative dental pain. There are other situations such as addiction, stroke rehabilitation, headache, menstrual cramps, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, osteoarthritis, low back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and asthma, in which acupuncture may be useful as an adjunct treatment or an acceptable alternative or be included in a comprehensive management program. Further research is likely to uncover additional areas where acupuncture interventions will be useful.
The World Health Organization also released a report after reviewing hundreds of clinically controlled trials concluding that acupuncture was useful in treating a variety of conditions.
