This is a common acupuncture procedure. Electro Acupuncture is an acupuncture technique that, comparatively speaking, has only recently come into use. As with traditional acupuncture, needles are inserted on specific points along the body. Using small clips, the needles are then attached to a device that generates continuous low voltage electrical pulses. These devices are used to adjust the frequency and intensity of the impulse being delivered, depending on the condition being treated. Electro Acupuncture uses two needles at time so that the impulses can pass from one needle to the other. Several pairs of needles can be stimulated simultaneously, usually for no more than 30 minutes at a time.

Have you ever tried moxibustion? Moxibustion is the application of heat to a specific area or point on the body. Along with acupuncture needles, moxibustion has become an integral part of the oriental system of medicine. The term ‘moxibustion’ is derived from the Japanese ‘Moe Kusa’, meaning ‘burning herb’.
