Welcome to the Korean Acupuncture and Moxibustion Society!

Since its establishment in 1973 as a section of Korean Oriental Medical society, the Korean Acupuncture and Moxibustion Society has put its efforts into the development of acupuncture and moxibustion and promotion of people's health and has led various academic activities.

The Society introduced the Korean acupuncture and moxibustion in the symposiums held in Tokyo of Japan in 1974 and in Las Vegas in 1975. Since then, the seminars for activation of the Society and academic achievement of members as well as international activities have been held continuously. Also, the Korean Acupuncture and Moxibustion Society journal has been published continuously, which has enabled recognition and support by the Korea Research Foundation in 1998 for the first time in the oriental medical science field.

The direction of promotion of the Korean Acupuncture and Moxibustion Society in the future includes:
1. Study on the theory of acupuncture and moxibustion and treatment technique;
2. Publication of the Korean Acupuncture and Moxibustion journal and literature related to acupuncture and moxibustion;
3. Holding of national symposiums and seminars;
4. Cultivation and education of specialists according to the specialist system; and
