Abstract:
I participated in the WFAS 2011 International Acupuncture Symposium in Sao Paulo, Brazil, which was the first conference in South America, on the theme of Traditional Medicine and Human Health. I had opportunities in this conference to survey and cover the history, situation and regulamentation of acupuncture in Brazil, in addition to the situation of Japanese Acupuncture taking root in Brazil. Iwould like to report it with some informations from the brazilian authorities.
