TCM supplies comprise consumables and accessories for treatments based on the methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine, in particular for practices, therapy facilities and trained users. This top-level category features products for acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping (Schröpfen) and cupping. Depending on the method, material, application and selection criteria differ considerably: acupuncture needles are chosen according to type, diameter, length and design, whereas for moxa products factors such as shape, smoke development, blend ratio and pack contents are relevant. Cupping products are frequently selected according to size, material, handling and matching accessories.
Which product groups belong to TCM supplies?
In the acupuncture segment you will find, for example, sterile single-use needles, permanent needles or special needle systems such as Pyonex designs. Common specifications include diameters such as 0.16 mm or 0.30 mm, lengths such as 15 mm or 30 mm, as well as the question of whether the needle is used with or without a guide tube. Moxibustion includes, among other things, moxa sticks in various pack sizes, lengths and qualities, some with smoke development. For cupping applications, cupping glasses are available, for instance with a ball or in specific glass shapes. With cupping, a suitable cupping oil may additionally be relevant so that the cups can be guided over the skin in a controlled manner.
- Acupuncture: needles, permanent needles and supplementary accessories for professional use.
- Moxibustion: moxa sticks and suitable variants according to smoke, size and pack unit.
- Cupping (Schröpfen): cupping glasses and accessories for static or dynamic applications.
- Cupping: cups, oils and aids for gliding techniques and manual applications.
Selection by method, material and practice requirements
The right choice within TCM supplies depends first on the treatment method and the intended area of use. For acupuncture needles, needle length, diameter, handle and packaging type as well as your personal working technique are important criteria. For moxa products, users should pay attention to smoke development, stick size and pack contents, as these factors influence practical handling and the place of use. For cupping glasses and cupping accessories, diameter, vacuum generation, cleaning options and skin contact play a central role. Brands such as Seirin, GUOYIYAN, Hwato, AcuTop, DongBang, methatec, cosiMed or Lauschaer represent different product lines in this category; what remains decisive, however, is always that the product type and specification match your own way of working.
For safe and proper use, TCM products should be used in accordance with their intended purpose and the manufacturer's specifications should be observed. Sterile single-use products are not intended for reuse, whereas reusable accessories must be professionally cleaned and reprocessed depending on the material. saneq offers the top-level category TCM supplies as an entry point to select the appropriate subcategories in a targeted manner and to compare products by method, dimension and application context.
