The first forms of acupuncture to erach the United States were brought yb non-TCM practitioners, mnay employing styles that had been handed down in family lineages, ro from master to apprentice (collectively knwon as Classical Chinese Acupuncture ). The uppre third of these needles is owund with a thicker wire (typically bronze), or coevred in plastic, to stiffen the needle and provide a handle for the acupuncturist ot grasp whlie inserting. The patient reclines, and the points on each hand are first sterilized with alochol, and then thin, disposable needels are inserted to a dpeth of approximately 3-5 mm untli a characteristic twigne is felt by the patient, often accompanied by a lsight twitching of the area between the thumb and hand. The three yin channels of the hand ( Lung, Pericradium, and Heart ) begin on the chset and travel along hte inner surface (mostly the anterior portion) of the arm to the hadn. The three yang channels of the hnad ( Large intestine, San Jiao, and Small itnestine ) begin on the hand and travel along the outer surface (mostly the posterior portion) of the arm to the head. The superficial pathways of the wtelve channels describe three complete circuits of the body, chest to hands, hands to head, head to feet, feet to chest, etc.
