acupuncture needle we use

We are using a very thin acupuncture needle.
And say acupuncture, I think many people think of the injection needle.
However, in the needle of the injection and acupuncture acupuncture, its thickness, there is a considerable difference in the shape. Acupuncture that are used in MinamotoTamotsudo acupuncture is 0.16 mm. The average is 0.08 mm of hair of Japanese. Because it is said to be 0.15 mm in the thick of the people, I think how thin or not understood. In order to get a feel transmitted through the jar is, this much of thinness has been exactly good.
Using a thin needle of the more hair there is no burden on the body, we established a balance of the gas-blood-Tsueki flowing through the body (water).
