World Health Organization (WHO) acupuncture guidelines

The World Health Organization (WHO) acupuncture guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations on the safe and effective use of acupuncture for various health conditions. They outline when acupuncture can be beneficial, suggest standardized points for treatment, and emphasize practitioner qualifications to ensure patient safety. The guidelines aim to integrate acupuncture into healthcare with a scientific foundation, promoting best practices, minimizing risks, and encouraging further research to validate its benefits for conditions like pain, nausea, and more. Overall, they serve as a global reference to optimize acupuncture’s role in complementary medicine.
