TheLexicon is the product of many hours of reflection and effort and is offered in the spirit ofinternational cooperation and understanding.In a rapidly shrinking world, this Second Edition of our Lexicon is a tribute to ourcommitment to the health and well-being of our patients and to the validity and necessityof Medical Acupuncture internationally.Marshall H. SagerChair, Education ChapterApril, 20111
INTRODUCTIONThe Beijing Declaration, Adopted by the WHO Congress on Traditional Medicine,Beijing, China, 8 November 2008, affirmed the uniqueness of traditional medicalpractices among the various Member States. The Declaration recognized that MemberStates have different domestic legislation, approaches, regulatory responsibilities anddelivery models and that these distinctions result in therapies and practices which mayvary greatly from country to country and from region to region. The Declaration statedthe need for action and cooperation by the international community, governments, healthprofessionals and workers, to ensure proper use of traditional medicine as an importantcomponent contributing to the health of all people, in accordance with national capacity,priorities and relevant legislation. The Declaration left the establishment of systems forthe qualification, accreditation or licensing of traditional medicine practitioners toindividual governments.Acupuncture is one of the oldest and most widely practiced forms of “traditional medicalpractices” referred to in the Beijing Declaration. Acupuncture has been used as a healingmodality for at least 5,000 years, pre-dating recorded history. It was not just practiced inChina. Ancient Egyptian scripts indicated the use of acupuncture as early as 1550 B.C. .The South African Bantu tribesman, Arabs, Inuits, South Indians and Eskimos haveevidence suggesting the use of acupuncture to cure disease. Throughout the world,ancient legends describe the discovery of acupuncture when a soldier, injured by anarrow on the battlefield, noted relief from medical conditions in places other than whichthe arrow struck.In recognition of the Beijing Declaration, and with the goal of implementing itsdirectives, the ICMART Lexicon of Medical Acupuncture has been created to detail theappropriate education, training and practice requirements for safe, competent andeffective physician practiced acupuncture, internationally referred to as “MedicalAcupuncture,” for use in public and private health services throughout the world.2
