An acupuncturist will insert special needles on some points and let them stay there for 15 to 30 minutes to correct the wrong flow.

Patients report about the tingling sensation when the needles were inserted on the certain points of the body. However, there is no pain involved in the insertion since the needles do not have sharp edges. Patients also report about the positive improvement in their Health, power and energy.
