Alwin:

Though Richard is probably best placed to answer, I would like to

give it a try:

 

BaGuaFa is a synthesis of Gua Sha and Ba Guan treatment modalities.

Gua Sha is a fascial scraping technique.

Ba Guan is the suction cup treatment.

 

Using Google you can find enough explanatory sites on each of the

terms.

 

 

The teishin needle is a non-inserting needle for applying pressure

without inserting it in the skin

(http://www.japaneseacupuncture.ca/acupuncture/) has a picture of a

teishin needle.

Attilio,

 

The teishin or shi zen (Chinese) is a blunt needle. It is described in the

first chapter of Ling Shu as one of nine needles. The 7th and 78th chapters

describe their importance and distinctions. The use of the teishin is to

circulate qi and blood and is said to correspond to person where as the enshin

is used to remove evil qi at the borders of the flesh and corresponds to earth.

Evil qi is a literal translation of the Chinese term xie qi, in Japanese it is

jaki. It refers to the normal qi in the body that is disrupted, has lost its

normal function, and is causing symptoms (Birch and Ida, 1998).

 

The modern day Teishin needles can be made of stainless steel, silver, gold

plated, gold and other specialty metals. The design is based on the

description, so there may be various teishin designs.

 

They wayI have been taught to use a teishin is with light touch so a spring

loaded teishin based on applying pressure is not something with which I am

familiar.

 

Hope this helps

Sharon
