How to buy acupuncture needles

Most acupuncture beginners buy acupuncture needles, which are generally considered to be acupuncture needles, but they do not realize that there is also a deep knowledge, because the materials, specifications, toughness and sharpness of acupuncture needles are different. Different acupuncture needles sometimes have very different therapeutic effects. Now I will introduce the specifications of commonly used acupuncture needles and the skills of choosing acupuncture needles in detail.

Specification selection

Acupuncture needle specifications are expressed in the diameter of the needle body × the length of the needle body, such as 0.18*13mm, that is, the diameter of the pointer body is 0.18mm and the length of the needle body is 13mm.

1, 0.18*13mm (half inch): commonly used in facial beauty, the needle is very thin and short, can effectively reduce the pain of patients into the needle.

2, 0.25*25mm (one inch): more commonly used. Applicable to all parts of the body subcutaneous tissue is relatively shallow parts, or need shallow acupuncture points. PS: 0.30*25mm is also commonly used in clinic, which is slightly thicker, but it is easier to enter the needle. The needle with 0.25 diameter is slightly softer, which requires slightly higher finger strength for doctors.

3, 0.30*40mm (1.5 inches): also very commonly used. It is suitable for all parts of the body where muscles are rich, or acupuncture points that need short-distance penetration. An inch and a half of the needle is slightly longer, and if the diameter is less than 0.30, it is easier to enter the needle.

4.0.30*50mm (2 inches): The main points are basically the same as 0.30*40mm, which is suitable for acupuncture points that need to be deeply stabbed for more than one and a half inches.

5.0.30*75mm(3 inches): It is commonly used to prick buttock acupuncture points or mid-distance penetration, and the diameter of the 0.30 is relatively moderate.

Buying Tips

One is to try the sharpness of the needle tip, that is, to see if the acupuncture needle is sharp. The method is that you use the needle tip to slowly prick your sensitive skin. If you don't feel pain, then this needle can be used. If you feel very painful, then I think it is better to change another needle, otherwise your patient will feel that your doctor's needle is more painful than others.

The second is to take one or several relatively long needles, such as three inches. You can wrap the needle body directly around your thumb as much as possible, and then loosen it to see the toughness of this needle. If it is completely recovered or basically recovered straight, it is a good needle. As for why it is good, you can carefully experience the mystery in the future clinical experience. Under normal circumstances, as long as you master the above two points, you can be handy when buying acupuncture needles.
