Have you heard of the unique TCM method known as “Fire Needling Therapy”? Today, let us take you into the world of fire needling and explore its mysteries…
Fire needling, also known as “burning needle therapy” or “scorching needle therapy,” refers to a method of quickly inserting a heated needle into acupuncture points or affected areas to treat diseases. It has effects such as clearing heat and detoxifying, expelling pus, eliminating dampness and itching, and unblocking meridians to relieve pain. Modern research indicates that the thermal effect of fire needling can improve local microcirculation, accelerate the microcirculation in the affected area, facilitating the absorption of inflammatory and metabolic substances; at the same time, it inhibits the synthesis and release of mediators, enhances immunity, and alleviates the hypersensitivity of nerves, thus achieving anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-itch effects.
