Acupuncture Tools

Acupuncture Needles

They are thin, sterile, and typically made of stainless steel. These needles are designed to be inserted into specific points on the body to stimulate the flow of Qi (vital energy) along meridians. They come in various lengths and gauges, tailored to different treatment areas and patient needs. Unlike hypodermic needles, acupuncture needles are solid and have a finely tapered point, making the insertion process generally painless. They are a crucial tool in acupuncture, used to treat a wide range of physical and emotional conditions by promoting balance and healing within the body.

Electroacupuncture

Involves attaching small electrodes to traditional acupuncture needles. These electrodes deliver mild electrical currents to enhance the stimulation of acupuncture points. It is often used to treat pain, inflammation, and neurological disorders. Avoid if you have an implanted electric device.

Ion Pumping Cord (IPC)

This is an advanced acupuncture technique that uses a specialized cord to connect acupuncture needles, creating an electrical circuit between them. This method helps to regulate the flow of ions in the body, balancing energy and enhancing the therapeutic effects of acupuncture. It is particularly effective for pain relief, inflammation reduction, and balancing meridian energy.

Electric Moxa

Moxibustion, involves burning dried mugwort (moxa) near the skin or use an Electric Moxa to warm and stimulate acupuncture points. This technique helps improve blood circulation, enhance the flow of Qi, and treat conditions such as cold and dampness.

Electromagnetic Lamp

This technique combines traditional acupuncture principles with modern technology, using specialized lamps to emit electromagnetic waves that stimulate acupuncture points non-invasively. This method penetrates deep into tissues, promoting healing and wellness without needles, making it ideal for pain relief, inflammation reduction, and stress relief. Its gentle, yet effective, approach enhances the flow of Qi and overall health.

Cupping

This therapy uses glass, bamboo, or silicone cups placed on the skin to create suction. This suction improves blood flow, reduces muscle tension, and helps relieve pain and inflammation by drawing out toxins and promoting healing.

Gua Sha

Involves scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool to stimulate microcirculation of the soft tissue. This technique helps release muscle tension, improve blood flow, and promote healing by reducing inflammation and breaking up scar tissue.

7-star Needles

Also known as plum blossom needling, uses a small hammer with seven needle-like prongs to superficially stimulate acupuncture points. This method promotes Qi flow and blood circulation, effectively treating pain, inflammation, and skin disorders. Additionally, it enhances skin rejuvenation and provides calming effects, making it a gentle yet effective tool for overall health and wellness.
