Equine Acupuncture process is used as a treatment for horses. Laser, moxibution, ultra sound, manual stimulation using needles and many others methods are used in this kind of therapy.
In Equine Acupuncture solid and filiform traditional acupressure needles are used. These fine needles weigh near about twenty eight to thirty five grams. At the specific points these needles are inserted and create a blister which disappears in about ten minutes. For this kind of therapy such type of needles are used so that there is no possibility of breakage of needles when the muscles of the horse contract.
The laser treatment is another kind of ancient Chinese Therapy. Its effects are greater yet the penetration of the needles is lower and is one of the secure method. While it is more expensive than other methods mainly when invisible lasers are used. Another method is Moxibution. In this method moxa sticks made of Artemesia Vuloagaris are placed over the needles and burnt to stimulate that point. This method is hardly used because the distasteful smell can irritate the horses.
