China's Acupuncture And Moxibustion Hospital. The red-hot needle therapy is a traditional acupuncture method. A needle is heated on an alcohol lamp. When it becomes red and hot, the doctor uses it to quickly irrigate the sufferer's acupoints just below the skin. This therapy is effective for treating inflammation, analgesia, and blood circulation. Photo by Zhu Yufeng
