A Sustainable Revolution in Acupuncture Practice

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), patient well-being, quality of supplies, and holistic treatment are paramount, with an emphasis on harmony with the environment. Recognizing this, sustainability is increasingly central to acupuncture practice.

At Herbprime, we go beyond offering high-quality acupuncture supplies—we lead in social responsibility and environmental stewardship. Our journey into sustainability began with eco-conscious alternatives for our Altra brand, including recyclable pouches, guide tube-free needles, and bamboo guide tubes. This commitment has culminated in the launch of our groundbreaking Eco-Moxa Stainless Steel Acupuncture Needles.

The World's First Non-Petrochemical, Industrially Compostable Guide Tube

Eco-Moxa Stainless Steel Acupuncture Needles represent a major leap in sustainable acupuncture. Featuring the world's first non-petrochemical, industrially compostable moxa guide tube, these needles drastically reduce plastic waste. Made from plant-based materials, primarily moxa, the guide tube is environmentally friendly and compostable, aligning with the holistic values of TCM.

Reducing Up to 70% of Carbon Footprint

• Recyclable Packaging: We've replaced traditional PVC blister packs with pouches made from R-PET, a plastic derived entirely from recycled materials like water bottles. These pouches are fully recyclable, reducing packaging waste.

• Sustainable Materials: Our needles are made from stainless steel, chosen over copper for its reduced environmental impact. Copper production poses significant environmental risks, including water pollution, whereas stainless steel is more sustainable and doesn’t require electroplating, further minimizing harm.

• Recycled Cardboard & Embossed Design: Our needle boxes are made from recycled cardboard, and we’ve opted for embossed designs instead of printed packaging to reduce ink use and further lessen our environmental footprint.

Crafting Exceptional Sharpness and Sustainability

Herbprime is committed to producing high-quality acupuncture needles that ensure patient comfort and reduce environmental impact. Our needles are crafted from oil-tempered Japanese medical steel wire, stretched, shaped, and tapered to achieve precise sharpness with minimal discomfort during insertion. After assembly, they are cleaned using ultrasound technology and coated with medical-grade silicone oil for smooth insertion. Finally, the needles are sterilized using gamma rays, ensuring safety and hygiene.
