Form of acupuncture. Contrary to the old definition of de la Fuye: "Insertions with gold or silver needles on precisely defined skin points, which can be painful spontaneously or under pressure, in the case of functional reversible diseases or disorders for diagnostic and/or therapeutic purposes", today mostly sterile disposable needles made of steel are used.
