| American Acupuncture Foundation  



"Creating a solid knowledge foundation."

The aim of the American Acupuncture Foundation is to provide comprehensive information on acupuncture and to actively support the expansion of knowledge on this subject.

There is a lot of catching up to do in this area, at least in our part of the world. Even though acupuncture is thousands of years old, Western medicine has only begun more intensively researching possible areas of application for it in the past 30 years.

The foundation pursues its goals through a variety of activities:
  • With this website, it provides an objective information platform for publishing new findings and research results.
  • It organizes scientific events and conducts targeted press and PR work in order to help the general public gain a better understanding of acupuncture and its possibilities.
  • It supports organizations and individuals involved in acupuncture, especially in science and research.

The American Acupuncture Foundation is not only a forum for physicians and scientists to actively exchange technical information. By posting comprehensive and straightforward topical information, it also serves as a means for patients and the interested public to expand their knowledge of the subject of acupuncture.

The American Acupuncture Foundation is a private non-profit foundation based in Boston (MA).
