What Methods Do Acupuncturists Use?

​

• Needles: thin, sterile, disposable, about 1/10 the thickness of an injection needle for vaccination

• Cupping: It creates a suction that affects tissues up to four inches deep from the skin.

• Gua Sha: scraping strokes on the skin using special tools.  It boosts the surface circulation of blood and stimulates the body’s natural pain-relieving opioid.

• Moxibustion: Heating created by using the mugwort herb essence to warm meridians and expel cold.

• Tuina: Chinese style massage to stimulate specific body parts and mobilize cooperation of different units of the body.
