If you have an aversion to needles, you can still enjoy the benefits of acupuncture through “needle-less’ methods.

Needle-less acupuncture works on the same points, and along the same meridians as would be used with needles, but tiny gold beads, or a specially formulated gel are used instead.

This tiny gold bead is about the size of a head of a pin, covered by a tiny piece of clear adhesive tape, and is placed right on the point.

Because the bead provides very mild pressure, and because gold enhances the flow of energy, you get a very mild stimulation at that particular point, which helps the energy move along the meridian.
