Goodbye NAES Type(1000 needles) — MyAcu Needles Are Going Even Greener!

Goodbye NAES Type(1000 needles) — MyAcu Needles Are Going Even Greener!

Hey friends 

We’ve got some bittersweet news to share! Since launching MyAcu Needles in 2024, we’ve been blown away by your love and feedback. Whether it’s through online chats, emails, phone calls, or catching up at conferences, your support for eco acupuncture has honestly moved us to tears. 💚 Every time you choose MyAcu, you’re choosing a greener future for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) — and we can’t thank you enough.

Now, it’s time for the next step forward.


Why We’re Saying Goodbye to NAES Type

Our original MyAcu NAES type needles — Korean handle, 10 needles sharing 1 guide tube — will be discontinued.

Why? 

Many busy practitioners told us that when you buy 1,000 needles per box, you actually prefer fewer guide tubes. It keeps things simple in a fast-paced clinic, creates less waste, and supports a more sustainable practice. So, we took your advice and made it greener than ever.


Introducing the 2nd Generation — NCK Type

MyAcu NCK type (1,000 needles/box)

Say hello to the new MyAcu NCK type (1,000 needles/box):

Only 8 guide tubes per box — less plastic, less clutter, less waste. 2 eco-moxa guide tubes per pouch, 4 pouches total.
Smaller packaging — saves shelf space and cuts down shipping emissions.
✅ Same trusted Korean handle & smooth insertion you love.

From now on, the NAES type will be fully replaced by NCK in all 1,000-needle boxes.


♻️ The World’s First Eco-Moxa Guide Tubes — Still Here!

This is something we’re incredibly proud of. MyAcu was the first in the world to create guide tubes from upcycled moxa stem waste 🌿 — turning what would normally be discarded into something meaningful and sustainable.

Our eco-moxa guide tubes are:

  • 🌍 Industrially compostable — after use, you can toss them in your garden waste bin. They’ll go to a professional composting facility instead of ending up in oceans or landfills.

  • Low waste by design — fewer tubes mean fewer resources used and less environmental impact.

  • Aligned with TCM philosophy — Traditional Chinese Medicine is all about living in harmony with nature, and this is our way of practicing what we preach.

With the new NCK packaging, you still get our revolutionary eco-moxa guide tubes — just even fewer of them. Same innovation, but greener.


What About 500-Needle Boxes?

For those who prefer 500-needle packs, here’s the update:

You can choose what works best for your workflow while staying eco-conscious.


Together Toward a Greener TCM Future 🌏

Your support is what drives us to innovate — not just for better needling, but for a healthier planet. By switching from NAES to NCK, we’re cutting down on waste, shrinking packaging, and keeping sustainability at the heart of acupuncture.

Next time you’re stocking up, look for the NCK type for your 1,000-needle boxes — the same MyAcu quality you love, now smarter, lighter, and even greener.
