Teishin
Teishin is from one of 9 classic needles. It is a needle-like tool that is does not penetrate the skin. It is a great tool for people who are very sensitive and fear of needles, especially for kids.
There are kinds of materials for Teishin, such as silver, copper, gold etc. Gold Teishin is great for tonifying, especially for very weak or faint patients.
Pure silver works excellently for cleansing energy, releasing stagnation, and clearing heat. It works great on Yintang, Taiyang, Baihui and Ear Shenmen etc. for calming Shen. It is also great massage tool on face area and eye area for releasing tension. It also uses to clear heat on the back area. Patients also love using this acupuncture tool. The technique is very gentle, and they find it very comfortable and relaxing.
I would also like to share my experience as a mom about this great acupuncture tool. My children don't like being poked with needles, but they really enjoy using this acupuncture tool. My little child asked me to do Teishin whenever he doesn't feel good. And he usually falls into asleep when I do Teishin on him. All you need to do is place the Teishin on the relevant points and connect your Shen with your child's. Your child will gradually become calm and feel pain relieved as you remain calm. It's convenient to carry and can be used on your child anytime, anywhere.
