Abstract

Chronic pain conditions impose a huge economic burden on affected individuals and society and is very significant. With this research paper we raise awareness of the effectiveness, safety and benefits of acupuncture for the treatment of chronic diseases. Acupuncture has been proven to be an exceptionally effective treatment option, especially for the following health issues: chronic pain, allergies, asthma, stress, anxiety, depression, migraines insomnia, hypertension, menopause and etc. Acupuncture has a great ability to create a feeling of relief from discomfort and pain. The treatment also targets the root of the illness and restores normal body functions. Acupuncture, as a treatment for chronic diseases incurable according to the WHO, works very effectively and positively, although the treatments are longer, the benefits for the patients are enormous on the one hand due to the improvement of the health condition and on the other hand due to the greater economic advantage and profitability. For these reasons, more and more people in the world decide to treat chronic diseases with acupuncture. A very important step is to share the knowledge and experience for TCM and enable the population to gain more knowledge about the treatment advantages and gradually accept it as a valuable health care treatment.
