Do you know? Recent health care reforms have helped millions of Americans access acupuncture and Oriental medicine treatments.

According to the Council of State Associations, an acupuncture advocacy group, more than 3.1 million adults visited an acupuncturist in 2007, a figure that has risen sharply over the past decade.

While NCNM celebrates this ancient medicine every day, we’re joining in the national celebration and awareness raising that goes with the annual Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (AOM) Day October 24.
