Other myth is that each patient will undergo the four needle technique. This is not correct and will only be used when the specialist felt that the patient’s energy almost does not move as a last resort.
The seventh myth is better for a doctor to perform acupuncture. This is incorrect because the training is much different from that taught in medical school. Students who have a licensed acupuncturist trained to 3000 hours before they are allowed to practice this profession. So between the acupuncturist and a doctor, you should go with someone who had learned about this much longer.
The eighth myth is that acupuncture is only used in the countries of the third world. This is not true because this technique originated from China more than 2000 years ago, and this has spread to developing countries in Asia such as Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Malaysia.
Here at home, acupuncture has been performed for more than 2 decades and the law in 30 countries. In fact, 22 of them, license professionals after they graduate after passing the state examination board.
Although acupuncture has been around for quite some time, there is still a need for a holistic form of health care why this is being taught in schools and is used now. It is painless and cost efficient, and many studies have shown that it is effective in treating various diseases and prevent some of them.
