Pyongyang, August 8 (KCNA) -- The acupuncture for Scheuermann's disease, a traditional medical art, was recently listed as one of the DPRK's national intangible heritage. In this regard, KCNA had an interview with Kim Mi Hwa, a doctor of the Rungna Polyclinic in Taedonggang District, Pyongyang who has proven successful in applying the therapy. Kim said: Scheuermann's disease like rachiocampsis has been known as an incurable disease worldwide. But, after studying the old books on Koryo (traditional) medicine, we put on a scientific basis the acupuncture for the disease according to different physical constitutions and succeeded in treating many cases of rachiocampsis with this therapy. The value of the acupuncture has been appreciated at several symposiums on medical science. |
