Today we celebrate centuries of heritage! Across Europe, #ETCMA practitioners are bringing healing and treating patients in major health centres and in their clinics.
This #WorldAcupunctureDay, we honour a medical tradition recognised by #UNESCO in 2010 as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Rooted in over 2,500 years of wisdom, #acupuncture continues to evolve, integrating ancient wisdom with modern scientific understanding and innovation.
Across over 180 countries worldwide, #acupuncture is now an essential part of integrative healthcare, improving quality of life and promoting wellbeing for millions of people every day. This World Acupuncture Day, we celebrate the skill, dedication, and impact of our European TCM community, making a real difference in people’s daily lives throughout all 365 days of the year.
Together with our colleagues across Europe, we stand together to highlight the credibility and professionalism of our practitioners. This shared message celebrates acupuncture as the original personalised, preventative, and mind-body medicine, and positions our profession as a credible and collaborative partner within the wider healthcare landscape.
Today, and every day, we honour this living tradition and the practitioners who keep it thriving, delivering integrative, compassionate, and evidence-informed care across Europe and beyond.
Ahead of #WorldAcupunctureDay, we honour a medicine that connects us to ourselves, to one another, and to nature 🌿
Rooted in millennia of wisdom and supported by modern science, Traditional Chinese Medicine offers a healing path that is safe, sustainable, and profoundly human ✨
Join us in celebrating this 16 November, a day to recognise acupuncture and TCM, treasures of humanity honoured by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage.
