Caption

In electro-acupuncture – a variation of acupuncture – needles are inserted into various points on the body, called acupoints. A gentle pulsating electrical current is applied to selected acupuncture needles as a means of stimulating the acupoints. In TCM, this stimulation triggers the body’s natural healing abilities.
