Welcome

Welcome to the Society for Acupuncture Research (SAR) website - a hub for Asian medicine researchers, practitioners, teachers, students, patients and supporters. SAR’s mission is to promote, advance and disseminate scientific inquiry into Oriental medicine systems, which include acupuncture, herbal therapy and other modalities. SAR’s leadership and members value quantitative and qualitative research addressing clinical efficacy, physiological mechanisms, patterns of use and theoretical foundations.


Save the Date

Our next international conference will be held in Ann Arbor, Michigan on April 18-21, 2013.  SAR conferences facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue, catalyze scientific inquiry, highlight the current state-of-the-art research in acupuncture and Asian medicine, and disseminate the most recent acupuncture research findings.
