Former acupuncture physician, Medicine Alternativa at Colombo South Teaching Hospital, Kalubowila, Dr. Prabath Mudugama would be treating a range of illnesses at the clinic which was opened on Friday 29. “Acupuncture treatments are becoming more accepted by the public and by physicians. The acupuncture procedures have been effective in a variety of areas in the health care field. In further research, studies on acupuncture treatment will not be only major for the health and welfare of the patient but also important for the advancement of medical science” Dr. Mudugama said.
The ancient Chinese are credited with the real development of this healing art. However, the Japanese and Koreans also made significant contributions to both its ancient practice and modern scientific research. The Europeans, most notably the French, have also been involved in the development of acupuncture during the last 300 years.
