| Subject: Re: DIYacupuncture Needles
Needles can be ordered from any chemist (and I presume
online but Im new here and dnt know where) ... some have
modern plastic "handles" and these cost half as much as
the traditional wire wound "handles" ....
The lengths and sizes are measured in sizes like 0.20 x
15mm which I find best at present.
The 0.20mm is the thickness of the needle and its 15mm long
with plastic handles these cost 10 cent a needle = 10 euro
for 100 needles.
If you only use them on yourself - you can sterilise and
reuse them about 6 times before the point starts getting
blunter.
Do NOT use long needles - use so called ear needles ...
longer needles could puncture deeper organs - also this depends on age fragilty etc
- here i have not experimented and have no idea or competence.
