As there is a growing interest in acupuncture globally, World Health Organization and its member states have explored ways to integrate safe and evidenced based traditional Chinese medicine. Most of the member states of the WHO acknowledged the use of traditional and complementary medicine.
The World health organization also issued a list of diseases in which acupuncture can be used.
In this article, we briefly describe what acupuncture is and highlight the indications in which Dubai Herbal and Treatment Center uses acupuncture effectively.
Acupuncture is a form of complementary therapy that involves inserting very thin needles into the body. Practitioners insert needles at different locations and depths to treat different health issues.
Acupuncture can help relieve pain and treat a range of other complaints by balancing vital energy having a neurological effect.
