Acupuncture Foundationcanada, Scarborough, ON

Acupuncture is not new; as a healing technique it has been studied and utilized for more than 2, 500 years. Using ancient scientific principles, acupuncture treats illness by bringing a person’s body into harmony, into balance, into homeostasis.

Here, in North America, acupuncture began to flourish during the Cultural Revolution in China; since 1974 the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada Institute has been in the foreground of Canadian medical acupuncture education, helping students understand how best to address problems that western medicine sometimes fails to resolve.
