Abstract: A needle assembly for acupuncture includes a needle having a grip portion, and a needle head having a sharp end; a grip pipe made from paper, rubber or foamed resin, engaged around the needle head such that the sharp end of the needle extends out from the grip pipe; a guide pipe surrounding the needle and the grip pipe such that the grip pipe is positioned in a lower end of the guide pipe and the grip portion is positioned in an upper end of the guide pipe, with an upper portion of the grip portion extending out from the upper end of the guide pipe; and an adhesive membrane releasably connecting together the grip portion and an uppermost end of the guide pipe.

Abstract: A moxibusting implement, which a moxa is inserted into an equal in size receiving hole of an upper paper-board and is adhered to an adhesion sheet having an adhesion layer. Thus, while a moxa is burned, the heat occurring is not emitted upwardly and flows down toward the receiving hole of the lower paper-board to enhance the effect of the moxa cautery treatment.

Abstract: A needle assembly for performing acupuncture treatment, includes a needle holder formed from a tubular member, the needle holder having a tubular shaft portion formed from an upper portion of the tubular member, a pressed portion integrally formed at a lower end of the tubular shaft portion and formed from a flattened lower portion of the tubular member, and a needle held within the needle holder and projecting from a lower end of the pressed portion. Thus, by directly pricking needle points after holding the pressed portion and the shaft portion with a hand without a inserter, it is convenient to apply acupuncture and to control the pricking depth. Furthermore, by rotating the protruded portion from side to side, it is easy to stimulate needle points, so that the effect of the acupuncture treatment can be enhanced.
