The Safety of Acupuncture
"There have been three surveys in the last six years which have shown that acupuncture is amongst the safest therapies in use in the UK today. Out of 68,000 recorded treatments in two of the 2001 surveys, there were only 14 minor (bruising, feeling nauseous) adverse events. There have been very few reports of serious adverse events, and most adverse effects are transient, lasting no more than a day or so."

I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council, which is a governing body that regulates the safe practice of acupuncture. They have strict training standards, an ethical code, a code of safe practice and a code of professional conduct that members have to adhere to.
