CUTANEOUS NEEDLING Therapy |
|
 |
The needle used to do cutaneous needling, shallow needling with several needles fixed together, is often composed of several short stainless needles and used to percuss certain area on the surface of the body to prevent and treat diseases. The percussion of the skin with such a method is effective to regulate the functions of meridians and viscera to promote the rehabilitation of the body. |
