Training in acupuncture is due to the polymorphic interpretation very unequal, ranging from the east philosophical perspectives to the scientific evidence-based approach. Acupuncture, however represents a simple and inexpensive alternative within holistic approach to a patient at a psychiatric surgery or on a hospital bed as well.
