Abstract: A mechanical coupling device is provided for temporarily interconnecting a gem or a crystal to be used for acupressure treatment to a vibration generating device. Alternatively a mechanical coupling device is provided for temporarily interconnecting the handle of an acupuncture needle to a gem or a crystal. The mechanical coupling device can be a helical or spiral, metal wire, a cylindrical linkage, a conical linkage or a clamp connecting the acutreatment device to the other element. The method employed is to apply the acutreatment devices to acupoints of a patient with the above devices including the combination of a gem or a crystal interconnected to an acupuncture needle or a vibration generating device interconnected to an acupressure gem or crystal.
