Have you ever wondered just how much research has been conducted on acupuncture? Well, let me tell you, it’s a lot! In fact, acupuncture is the most researched natural therapy out there, and the scientific interest in it is only increasing.

To give you an idea, I recently was researching on Pubmed and discovered the trend. The graph shows the number of acupuncture studies conducted each year from 1996 to 2012. And let me tell you, the numbers are impressive! I used actual data from the PubMed database to create this graph, so you can trust that it’s accurate. Now, I should note that I excluded data from 2013 since, at the time of my observation, the year was still in progress.

So, if you’ve ever been curious about acupuncture and its effectiveness, just know that there is plenty of research out there to back it up!
