Frequently Asked Questions
Is acupuncture safe in China?
Yes. When administered in accredited Class 3A hospitals,
treatments strictly follow WHO guidelines and modern sterile
clinical safety protocols, using single-use disposable needles
within clean clinical environments.
Will I need to stop my current medications?
No. Acupuncture operates as complementary and integrative
medicine. You should never stop or alter prescribed Western
medications without consultation with your attending physician.
How many treatments will I need?
Treatment duration varies depending on your condition and
evidence tier. Acute discomfort may respond within 3–5 sessions,
while chronic conditions typically follow a structured 2 to
4-week clinical course.
