The National Institute of Health Conference (NIH) found acupuncture:
* Effective for adult post-operative and chemotherapy nausea and vomiting; a reasonable option for post-operative myofascial and low back pain; should be a part of a comprehensive program for asthma, addiction and smoking cessation.
* Has substantially lower incidence of adverse effects than many drugs or accepted medical procedures used for the same conditions.
* The data in support of acupuncture are as strong as for many accepted Western medical therapies.
Clinical Research (NIH) demonstrates that acupuncture:
- Stimulates bone regrowth
- Regulates blood pressure
- Increases red and white blood cell count
- Stimulates production of pain modulating endorphins and enkephalins
