|
| It has been a long history since acupuncture was introduced to Nepal, but the further development began nearly half a century ago. This article presents the history of acupuncture in Nepal, and reviews the current status of Acupuncture in Nepal in terms of clinical, educational, legal and research related activities. The modern development courses of acupuncture in Nepal began in 1972 with the arrival of Nepalese students after being educated in China. Currently, acupuncture treatment has become one of the established systems of alternative medicine in Nepal. Acupuncture degree courses have been approved by government of Nepal and acupuncture education is gradually being upgraded.
