has a complete listing of health legislation worldwide which is broader than specific acupuncture and Oriental medicine laws and regulations. However, it is still necessary for acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Practitioners to know these for their country because many of the laws pertain to national, state or provincial regulations and they are ones that apply to ALL health practitioners.
