At The Second International Technology Conference on the Modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine, 3,000 government and corporate representatives from 43 countries listened as a team of Chinese doctors advocated acupuncture therapy in the treatment of rehabilitating drug users.
Chinese acupuncture therapy and traditional medicine have been proved clinically effective in healing drug abuse, according to sources with an international conference on traditional Chinese medicine here on Monday.
The Second International Technology Conference on the Modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine was opened on Sunday in Chengdu, capital of southwest China's Sichuan Province, attracting 3,000 government and corporate representatives from 43 countries and regions worldwide.
Han Jisheng, an academician with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said at the conference that his team has carried out acupuncture therapy on drug abused people by stimulating the patients' neural system, which could help them relieve pains during the rehabilitation period.
Meanwhile, Xu Guozhu, deputy director of the Chinese Research Institute on Drug Dependence, said that China has self-developed 10 varieties of anti-drug rehabilitation medicine by using traditional medicine as raw materials, which included the medicine for alcohol abuse.
Xu said that although the medication effect by using traditional Chinese medicine is slower than that of western medicine, the natural herbs would produce less vile effects than chemical drugs in treatment.
