Pestle Needle Therapy is an acupuncture method characterized by a unique set of points, specialized tools and their specific methods of manipulation. Despite the tools being called "needles", they are non-penetrative devices made of gold platted copper. Pestle needles do not pierce the skin; rather they are used to stroke, rub or press the points and channels of the body. This method of acupuncture is not found in the classic texts, although it is based on the same Chinese medical theory as conventional acupuncture, including the theories of yin-yang, the five phases and channel theory.

There are four different needles, each with a different shape and use.
