Studying Acupuncture at Zhejiang Medical University, China / 全日本鍼灸学会雑誌

ABSTRACT

Situation of acupuncture is different in different countries. Although acupuncture is originated in China, it has been independently developed in Korea and Japan for more than 1500 years, and recently the effects of acupuncture have been recognized in western countries including Europe, and getting more popular there. Actually, many students from European countries are studying acupuncture in many universities in China. In this report, I would like to introduce briefly how foreign students are studying and practicing acupuncture in our university, and how it is different from the situation in Japan.
