Acupuncture

Acupuncture does not prevent blood donation if the treatment is provided in Finland by a health care professional with disposable needles. Furthermore acupuncture by a medical doctor in an EU- or EFTA-country or in the UK does not prevent donation. Otherwise, acupuncture prevents donation for four months.​
