When one thinks of acupuncture, what are some of the images that typically come to mind? Instantly, though, a picture of a black kettle pot with a bunch of concoctions and needles should come to mind. On the other hand, acupuncture therapy does not have to concoct such awful images in one's head. However, if you have ever thought about the possibility that acupuncture may be able to replace Western medicine you are sorely mistaken. On the other hand, there are some important distinctions between the two fundamental ideas of medicine, and in this article the idea of acupuncture will go head to head in an effort to compete against Western medicine.

When trying to decide any educational course for a higher educational goal, there are always important issues that one must take up with the school ever before setting foot in the door. Questions like what the university teaches, what courses and majors are offered, as well as what other types of training are taught in the school setting. The same questions can be said for acupuncture schools, though, as there are many different schools all across the United States and the world that have many different methods of teaching acupuncture courses, as well as methods about how it originated.

One important thing to remember when trying to choose a school to learn acupuncture in is where the professors are from and where they started out at. Many professors that teach acupuncture courses in university and college settings may not have the depth required for some people who are generally interested in learning more about the acupuncture method. For example, one of the reasons that I would choose an acupuncture school is if the professors who are teaching the course actually studied under the Chinese culture and a Chinese teacher who knew all the different facets, ins and outs, as well as the benefits and downsides to the method of acupuncture. For some people the issue of authenticity is truly important and acupuncture schools and professors vary greatly across the board when it comes to this issue.
