Training Introduction

Acupuncture has proved itself as very effective therapy all over the world. It’s role in pain management is firmed established and is unquestioned. At least 20% of patients visiting doctors complain of pain. More than 80% of these patients are treatable more effective by acupuncture than mainstream medical systems. This is without any medicines and side effects. This benefit, if translated into saving of suffering and financial expenditure, is huge potential asset untapped in India. Though very effective, it is still in infantile stage India. Main stream medical fraternity sees it as occult science to be kept away from. There is sort of stigma attached to therapy for therapy of pricking needles. Acupuncture has to undergo labour pains before it delivers it bonny baby of excellent therapy.

Before it proves itself, it has to be in sync with modern world in its own paradigm. Acupuncture has to think, speak and communicate in terms of present diagnosis, treatment and follow up assessments. It has shed its complex abstract imagined rationality. The process is very painful for old practitioners who swear by it. It must be understood that for any newcomer to acupuncture therapy gets confused by believed rationality of acupuncture and saves himself. We need to make acupuncture which can be understood clearly by anyone with scientific rational mind, who wants to learn it.

It because of this, we have proposed knowledge basic human body working in terms of physiology and anatomy of high school level. We also have added very effective methodology of Tung acupuncture and Tan acupuncture which does not tax practitioners with TCM philosophy. With all preceding comments on traditional Chinese system, knowledge of meridian and acupuncture points equally essential to understand and express therapy.

List of diseases treatable has been prepared after extensive survey of their senior acupuncturists of decades. Students are supposed to give more attention to formers diseases as they will be encountered more frequently. This list though not exhaustive, show actual common use of acupuncture in India. Acupuncture is not fully understood science so far. There can be many more applications but that is for experienced acupuncturists to explore not new newcomers. It expected that upcoming acupuncturists must know what not to treat and how not to treat. Syllabus is heavily depending on training students hand on practices on patients under strict supervision of teachers.

Biggest and most debilitating factor in acupuncture training in India and many other countries has been students have been injected with confusing abstract dose of philosophy of acupuncture and almost nothing on practical science of treatment. We have made it compulsory for our teaching institutes to give hand on training to students of at least 75% of enlisted diseases give here.

Purpose of training

Purpose of the guidelines is to accommodate presently working non medical and medical acupuncturists around the world and establish indicative scaffold for all future acupuncturists. Purpose is also attracting acupuncturists to look at therapy in modern paradigm and make it simpler and practical for them to practice. Syllabus is more weighed towards practical training of students.

Aim of the syllabus is training to facilitate trained acupuncturists practice independently efficiently with safety of patents kept in mind. They are prepared to so that employed in hospitals to aid treatments.
