Samra University of Oriental Medicine Acupuncture Degree Programs

Although acupuncture began thousands of years ago in China, it did not become well known in the United States until the early 1970s when descriptions of surgery without chemical anesthesia appeared in the press. Since then the Western world has taken a closer look at Oriental medicine and has come to understand and respect it as a distinct body of knowledge with philosophic and scientific essence, concepts, laws and practices that enable the Oriental Medicine practitioner to diagnose and treat many health problems in ways complementary to Western medical modalities.
