International online reports (in Belgium Shi Jinghong) : as a treasure of the Chinese nation traditional culture, traditional Chinese medicine increasingly brought to the attention of the countries all over the world and welcome, acupuncture is one of them. As well as in many western countries, acupuncture and moxibustion in Belgium also got a lot of local patients trust, Chinese medicine clinics are packed. However, to many in the industry worry, acupuncture and moxibustion in Belgium has not been completely legal status, development prospect is unclear.

TaoLiLing the doctor's office is located in the Belgian capital Brussels, central station near downtown. Clinic on one side of the door with a taiji diagram, on the other side to write the "national physician hall". Into the hall, he saw shelf with rows of small point and herbal medicine cabinet, scenes and we know a bit like Chinese medicine. TaoLiLing early graduated from domestic a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine college, professional is the acupuncture and moxibustion, open a clinic in Belgium for a dozen years. About the open clinic experience, she said she didn't know acupuncture would be so popular with the locals, "the earliest when opening the clinic, I think, may be only for overseas Chinese to do acupuncture. Opened later discovered, there are still a lot of europeans, like Belgium and surrounding people in other countries, such as the Netherlands, France, Spain. Because it is the center of Europe, so the patients from all countries."

Reporter met is the doctor's office in ceramics was complaining of ms Moore WeiAn more, she is from Romania, now lives in Brussels. Her because of neck pain come round to see a doctor, after six times acupuncture, symptoms have been considerably reduced. She said that she first heard of acupuncture was 25 years ago, "the first time I heard that acupuncture is 25 years ago when I was in Romania, when my mother back out of the question, she went to acupuncture. After one or two, she will feel much better, and sustain for years. So, my family and friends have pierced acupuncture experience. I don't think is good at treating the root of western medicine, I feel I ought to through the different ways to make the body acupuncture internal balance, rather than like a headache eat tablets, so I like it very much the acupuncture."

Body and vice President of federation of Chinese medicine in Belgium, a pottery doctors think, acupuncture and moxibustion in treatment of various pain, allergies, etc have obvious curative effect, also has a larger advantage in solve some difficult problems. She had helped a local woman by acupuncture twice to avoid a c-section, gave birth to a baby, "in modern western society, malposition of course can be done through a cesarean section, if malposition in China also can be solved by caesarean section. But in Belgium, there are some people want to adopt a conservative way, she doesn't want to cesarean section. Malposition came (pierced acupuncture), to the later ask? I said I can give her acupuncture. Really, he twice, (children) came down, but also a natural birth, the dole died. A year later, she was pregnant again, but not born, they find me, she said doctors and let her caesarean section. This is not a malposition, doesn't the children, I found her a touch of arteries and veins is qi, this time I'll use acupuncture and moxibustion, two days later, is a natural birth, is that a person is done twice."

Perhaps it is because there are such examples, the traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and moxibustion in many western eyes with some magical color, also gradually accepted by the locals. According to Chinese medical association vice President and secretary ChangSunPeiLin in Belgium, the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine especially acupuncture and moxibustion in Belgium, can be traced back to the 1970 s after the former US President Richard Nixon's visit in the world scope of acupuncture and moxibustion heat. Acupuncture and moxibustion in Belgium at that time were not legitimate, even the family doctor to use, can be found guilty. Still, not interest in acupuncture, "in recent years, Belgium has acupuncture into some of the medical insurance system, therefore, all registration acupuncture association members of patients can receive part of the health care. To come to the acupuncture clinic patients mostly locals, visible, acupuncture and moxibustion in Belgium is basically a household name. This is also the local residents recognition of Chinese culture is the most direct and friendly. Compared with domestic acupuncture treatment indications in Belgium to some relatively wide, small to a cold have a fever, too big to all kinds of pains."

According to statistics, Belgium now officially registered acupuncturist is about more than 400 people, and most acupuncturist local doctors and therapists are Belgium, there are a few of the nurse or midwife. Pei-lin sun thinks, although more and more public trust in acupuncture and moxibustion in Belgium, but in the aspect of law, legal status of acupuncture and moxibustion in Belgium has not been completely, "in April 1999, when Belgium's health minister (minister) put forward the draft law on admitted that alternative therapies such as acupuncture, but today has not yet passed. The current health minister put forward the need to provide the scientific basis of acupuncture, acupuncture if this basis could not reach the requirements of what she called, this draft is likely to be cancelled. If so, acupuncture will be back in no legal protection status. Due to the geographical and political status of Belgium, which will bring fatal blow to the acupuncture and Chinese medicine, and will spread to neighboring countries acupuncture position."

In order to get the healthy development of the acupuncture and moxibustion in Belgium, Belgium is the major folk acupuncture vigorously publicity, actively and steadily make the acupuncture clinic medical service work, make the local people in a broader range of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion. Belgium, meanwhile, the major is also looking forward to the Chinese authorities can communicate with Belgian health departments actively, provided by the authoritative department or research institutions to the Belgian health ministry internationally recognized about acupuncture and moxibustion science research results, to convince the Belgian health ministry legalise acupuncture as early as possible.
