Robots, acupuncture impress human rights delegation in Chengdu
Neyra Paulino Estevez, human rights director of the Dominican Republic's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, spoke highly of low-cost, high-efficiency TCM therapies after trying chuzhen, a unique acupuncture treatment that stimulates body meridians and boosts blood circulation without piercing the skin. "People are trying to avoid Western medicine that can harm your body," she said, "so I think TCM can help a lot and it needs to get to the world."
Sylvester Sinvula Sibungo, a senior official from Namibia's Ministry of Justice and Labour Relations, praised the TCM treatment he received for his chronic ankle pain. "I hurt my ankle playing football five years ago, and the pain kept coming back," he said. "After this treatment, I feel much more relieved."
