Yes. Using acupuncture to treat diseases has a recorded history of more than 2000 years in China. Today acupuncture is practiced widely all over the world. In US, a panel of National Institute of Health(NIH) endorsed use of acupuncture in November, 1997. The panel concluded that acupuncture is an effective treatment for certain aspects of pain and a range of other conditions. Scientific research suggested that certain effects of acupuncture are mediated through the nervous system, within which B-endorphin and other neuro-peptides have been implicated.
