By Bertil Hjert

Most people who practice require quality
acupuncture supplies. However, most people do not know how to
purchase supplies of high quality. Unfortunately, most people
don’t even have an idea of what supplies are actually important
for them.

Acupuncture is known to be an effective treatment for most of
the diseases. It is a technique of inserting and manipulating
filiform needles into strategic points on the body with the aim
of relieving pain and for therapeutic purposes.

Here is a description about all this in order to help you make
your practice more easy and perfect.

Let us start with the supplies you would actually require to
practice effectively:

a) Cupping sets

There are both glass and bamboo cupping sets available on the
market. The bamboo cupping sets are available in 3 pieces bamboo
cuppings. You can opt for small, medium or large sizes.

b) Magnet and ear seeds

You need to purchase a sheet of about a hundred small magnetic
pellets. These are usually available with strong adhesive tape
for ear and body points use. Ear seeds are available in a box of
a hundred seeds with adhesive tape in skin color in order to be
used on ear and other body points.

c) Couch rolls

These are white rolls of 20 inches. You will find nine rolls in
each case.

d) Treatment tables

You need to purchase German Beachwood for adjustable back root,
portalite 003 made of metal for adjustable back rest, portalite
oval with rounded design for easy access in smaller areas and
Portalite Delta made of light weight aluminum.

e) Smokeless pure Moxa Roll

It is a roll that produces no order or smoke.

f) Mini Moxa Roll

This is required to put directly on the needles

and skewers.

g) Moxa box

It is a wooden Moxa Box.

h) Moxa extinguisher

It is made of brass and plated in chrome. It can be used for
extinguishing or holding Moxa rolls.

Once you are aware of what to buy under the category of
acupuncture accessories, it is time to know how to purchase the
stuff.

Here are steps to follow when purchasing needles.

a) Step One

Make sure that you get a bulk order. In case, you plan to
practice on a consistent basis, then you would
require a good amount of needles. A box usually
contains more than about 100 needles.

b) Step two

You must purchase from a trusted brand. Opt for SEIRIN if you
want the best out of your investment. It is a trusted and
reputed brand.

c) Step three

You must look for a needle that would provide almost painless
insertion for the patient. Activa is such a brand.

d) Step four

Always opt for color coded needles. This will help you to make
out needles of different sizes via just looking at the color.

e) Step five

Don’t purchase needles that are coated in silicon. Silicon may
result in an allergic reaction.

f) Step six

Try to order needles online. This will be easy for you and also
let you decide what type of needles you want to order.

g) Step seven

Go for standard generic pebbles.
