In November, we will support the ETCMA in celebrating World Acupuncture Day, to raise awareness of acupuncture, which has been recognised by UNESCO as an Intangible Human Cultural Treasure. BAcC Members are invited to raise awareness by participating in this global campaign.

Additional resources
The ETCMA has created a brief history of acupuncture, dating back to 6,000 BC. It clearly illustrates how acupuncture has become established in the West. This a great resource to share in any blogs or newsletters for patients.
