Health Minister Deepak Sawant has expressed reservations over the medical standing of acupuncture
A proposal by the Higher and Medical Education Minister VinodTawde to recognise acupuncture as a subject and promote it through a legislation, with adequate checks and balances, has met with resistance within the cabinet, particularly from Health Minister Deepak Sawant.
Acupuncture is a therapy where needles are used to cure ailments. The allopathy stream of medicine does not recognise it as a scientific method of cure.
Tawde was in favour of passing a bill in the winter session to ensure recognition and regulation of acupuncture.
Although cabinet ministers expressed readiness to discuss the bill, some questioned its medical standing. Health minister Deepak Sawant, a medical practitioner himself, expressed reservations about any hasty decision to promote acupuncture.
Highly placed sources said, “Sawant wondered how the state could bring a legislation and accept a theory scientifically not proven or registered as an alternative mode of medicine.”
Acknowledging that acupuncture is prevalent in some places, he said giving it recognition would amount to promoting a theory without scientific base. Tawde says he wants to bring accountability to an alternative theory that is already in practice. A senior official in his ministry said, “We have reports that acupuncture is being practised. But state government has no mechanism to monitor or take any action where things go wrong.”
Officials say the aim of the legislation is to empower the department to act within the set guidelines. The bill, if passed, would enable the government to formulate a governing council and design regulatory laws. Once the framework is in place, acupuncture can be added to the syllabus and it would identify those qualified to practise acupuncture.

The cabinet on Tuesday approved a Bill in this regard. This will enable the establishment of a council for this traditional system of Chinese medicine and lay down guidelines regarding teaching, curriculum, and registration of practitioners.
To regulate the practice of acupuncture and establish standards regarding educationand registration of practitioners, the state cabinet has decided to set up a council for this system of medicine.
The cabinet on Tuesday approved a Bill in this regard. This will enable the establishment of a council for this traditional system of Chinese medicine and lay down guidelines regarding teaching, curriculum, and registration of practitioners.
"Now, there are no rules regarding teaching, course contents and syllabus," noted a senior state government official, adding that the legislation and establishment of the council would help create a new system as against the present one based on "ambiguity", where no records of the number of practitioners of acupuncture existed due to lack of a framework.
The official said the registration of practitioners would now be compulsory, with guidelines for eligibility and practice being laid down. "They can also be prosecuted for malafide acts," he added.

I had an odd pain in my left ankle, so I started on the traditional MD route - X-rays and pain pills, but didn't want to continue on that path. I decided to try Mississauga acupuncturist, I'm so happy to have gone in this direction. The clinic is very clean and organized.
