Acupuncture is an ancient method
of healing that uses needles to balance the flow of vital energy, Qi, in the body in order to heal disease and promote health.
Acupuncture is recognized by the World Health Organization as an
effective therapy for many conditions and is practiced in many
countries around the world.
In Japan, acupuncture therapists
follow a three or four year course of study and write government
licensing exams in order to practice. Acupuncture is not yet regulated in the
province of Ontario. However, the Ministry of Health is in the process of
regulating Acupuncture and the School management is involved in the process as
well as keeping graduates and students alike informed of the process as the
stages carry on.
