I’m Dr. Sierra. I’m a licensed and board-certified acupuncturist here in Portland, Oregon.
One question I get asked often is, if there is “anything in or on acupuncture needles?”
The answer is, “No,” there is nothing in or on acupuncture needles. Acupuncture needles are single-use, sterile, solid stainless steel needles that are used one time and then properly disposed of in a sharps container.
