Acupuncture is used with sharp and thin needles which can insert into body’s acupoints through the skin surface. In view of TCM, there are different channels systems that exist in the regular patterns through the body and over its surface. Correct and professional acupuncture can help stimulate your meridian and remove the block, which can offer a favourable inner environment for the damaged kidney tissues to self-cure.
