In 1973, the World Health Organization recommended acupuncture for 43 kinds of illnesses and symptoms, including nausea and vomiting, asthma, dental pain, and rehabilitation from the neurological damage of stroke. According to statistics taken in China, acupuncture is proven to effectively treat more than 200 kinds of diseases and symptoms.
