Acupunture
Nearly all acupuncture
techniques use needles, though there are varieties that also
use electric stimulation, burning, and herbs.
The needles used are solid needles, not
hollow tube needles like Western doctors use.
In America, certified practitioners of
acupuncture use pre-sterilized disposable needles. There is
usually no medicine on the needles, for the needle itself acts
on the Qi energy to make the change in the flow.
The practitioner may use a particular angle
to insert a needle, or may manipulate the needle a little (such
as a small rotation) to get the best results for a particular
client.
