Should I consult with my physician regarding getting acupuncture and Herbal medicine treatment?

It is advisable to always inform your physician about any treatment that you are seeking and it is also very important to have a list of medications and supplements that you are taking available during your first consultation with your acupuncturist. Some physicians will also refer acupuncture and Herbal medicine practitioners to patients. Just remember to make sure that these practitioners are certified by the NCBAHM and licensed in your state to practice acupuncture.
