The XII Congress of the European Foundation for Traditional Complementary and Integrative Medicine on "Efficacy, Safety and Quality of Natural Therapies" aims to promote legislation of Traditional Complementary & Integrative Medicine in Spain

When the doors of the auditorium in Peñiscola (Valencia, Spain) closed on Sunday, 5th of June, three days full of educational activities, lectures, workshops and the legendary countryside trip to the nearby protected natural area dedicated to the identification of indigenous medicinal plants and their Chinese relatives were left behind.

The 12th edition of the Congress of the European Foundation of MTCI and the 2nd Congress of the Natural Therapies Foundation, in which nearly a thousand professionals and students from the sector participated in this great event, were in luck for several reasons.

It was possible to return to the face-to-face format, thanks to which the 173 graduates of the last three graduating classes of FEMTCI's Advanced TCM Studies enjoyed a solemn graduation ceremony in the presence of the Rector of the European University of the Atlantic.

The lectures offered a broad content of Chinese medicine and acupuncture, osteopathy and naturopathy focused on providing evidence of the efficacy and safety and quality of natural therapies and the will to reach a true integration between complementary and conventional medicine.

The participants and graduating students had an exciting field trip into the local countryside, where they had first hand demonstrations and exploration of the local herbal and medicinal plants, and gained renewed awareness of local ecology.

The highlight of the Congress was the Round table on the popular legislative initiative, where participants had the opportunity to recall the state initiative for the regulation of complementary medicines transformed into a platform for MTCI law in Spain with the aim of promoting a popular legislative initiative.
