AcupunctureWhat is Acupuncture?
Today, various additional forms of stimulation may be used to adjust the energy flow, including moxaDried mugwort leaves burned on or above the skin to stimulate an acupuncture point, electricity, magnets, and lasers.
Various methods of Acupuncture have been developed in different Asian countries. Each method is dependant on the different interpretations of classical Acupuncture texts. Two main forms universally recognized are:
| • | Chinese Classical Five Element Acupuncture (CF-EA) |
| A Taoist healing tradition brought to the west by the late Professor J. R. Worsley (The Worsley Institute) | |
| • | Japanese Classical Acupuncture |
| With Japanese classical Acupuncture, needling techniques are uniquely subtle. Very thin needles are used, which makes it much easier to insert the needles without pain. The resulting stimulation is milder than in Chinese Acupuncture. |
