The needles Once inserted, they usually remain in place for the time required for processing. If needed, a microcurrent can be applied to some needles to provide continuous stimulation during treatment. This is used, for example, in treatments to stop smoking.

Moxibustion This technique can be used to apply heat to acupuncture points or larger areas of the body. Moxa is a composition based on dried, crushed mugwort, which can be mixed with other plants depending on the desired effect.

Auriculotherapy It is based on the principle that the ear brings together all the elements of the human body, organs, joints, tissues and so on. Many acupuncture points are located in the ear and can be pricked during treatment. Small needles or seeds can also be placed at these points, which are stimulated by the patient for several days before being removed.

Suckers These have also been used for thousands of years, especially to treat certain aches and pains, colds, etc. They can be applied and then left in place for a period of time or handled on the surface of the affected body. They are either glass, plastic or bamboo.
