Hand Acupuncture Pen Works On Touchscreens Too

If writing on paper and on touchscreen devices isn't enough functionality for your pen, this acupuncture pen lets you do "hand acupuncture". We're not quite familiar with this technique despite playing the five finger game with butter knives all the time, much to the chagrin of our wives. It's just a guess, but we're probably safe in saying that the pen doesn't actually pierce the flesh the way acupuncture needles do.

You should probably have some kinda training at this other than reading the included instruction manual, otherwise you're just poking yourself with a pen—something you can do with the ones lying around the house. – Jason Chen

Challenges in Determining Effectiveness of Acupuncture

Putting a square peg into a round hole may be the best way to describe trying to fit research in acupuncture into the Western medical model for determining its effectiveness in treating physical ailments. So when it comes to evaluating acupuncture for the treatment of mental health problems the peg fits even less. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) does not share the same perspectives on these mood conditions as Western medicine.

Acupuncture is the best-known aspect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the West. The term acupuncture, however, can be misleading, as it is understood by many to imply a coherent and uniform model of practice. Not only is there evidence of a wide range of treatment techniques and diagnostic assessment methods, but the conceptual frameworks underpinning acupuncture practice also show considerable variety, in both traditionally based and modern frameworks.
