No, in India, practising acupuncture without a license is not legally permitted. Although the regulatory framework for acupuncture is still evolving, most states require practitioners to obtain certification or a license to ensure they meet specific educational and professional standards. This licensing is intended to safeguard public health by ensuring that practitioners are adequately trained and adhere to established standards of practice.

Yes, in India, Acupuncture courses are generally considered a part of the broader category of alternative medicine practices, which falls under the AYUSH (Ayurveda, Naturopathy & Yoga, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy) system. While Acupuncture is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is distinct from the traditional AYUSH systems, it is often included within the scope of alternative therapies promoted by AYUSH.

No, In India, an acupuncturist is not typically considered a doctor in the traditional sense. While acupuncturists are trained professionals with specialised knowledge in acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), they do not hold medical degrees such as MBBS or MD, which are required to be recognised as medical doctors. They are licensed or certified in their specific field of acupuncture and are recognised for their expertise in providing holistic and alternative treatments. However, they do not have the same legal status or scope of practice as medical doctors in India.

No, Acupuncture courses in India typically do not require the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) for admission. NEET is primarily used for entry into medical programs such as MBBS and BDS. Instead, acupuncture courses generally have their admission criteria, which may include educational qualifications, entrance exams specific to the institution, or interviews.

No, an MBBS degree is not required to pursue a career after Acupuncture courses. Acupuncture is a specialised field within traditional medicine and typically requires the completion of dedicated acupuncture courses. While an MBBS degree provides a comprehensive understanding of conventional medical practices, it does not specifically cover acupuncture or TCM in depth. However, having a background in medicine can be beneficial for integrating acupuncture with other medical treatments and enhancing a practitioner’s overall understanding of health and disease.

I am very glad to hear that your mom is thinking about getting a Diploma in naturopathy. People seldom get too old to learn. In all honesty, this means that she has the chance to take online classes and get a Naturopathy certificate. You need to identify well-known distance learning institutions, and then check their course offerings to see if any of them fit your eligibility criteria.Once she has decided on which programme she wants to take, it is now time to submit an application letter online with all relevant documents attached. Upon payment of the tuition fee for the program, course materials will be sent right to her door step.&n
