These needles come with a groundbreaking feature: a 100% industrially compostable moxa guide tube—the first of its kind in the world! They’re a greener choice for acupuncture, combining innovation, sustainability, and care for the planet.

What makes stainless steel needles better than copper or aluminum ones?

Stainless steel is a game-changer! Here’s why:

  • Stronger and Tougher: No bending or snapping under pressure. These needles stay sharp and reliable.
  • No Rust Worries: Stainless steel resists corrosion, unlike copper or aluminum, so you can count on them to stay in great shape.
  • Gentle on Skin: Less likely to cause irritation or allergies, making them safe even for sensitive patients.
  • Smooth Insertion: Polished to perfection for a clean, comfortable experience every time.
