What's on the tip of an acupuncture needle?

A very common question. And the answer is: nothing! Acupuncture needles are simply thin little pins, usually made of stainless steel. Just their presence alone in specific places causes your body to react and respond. No other substances needed. Your body often has all it needs, and could simply use a kick-start to its own healing process!
