Testimonials:

"Acupuncture is a craft - A craftsman needs quality tools. I have been looking for good quality needles in Europe for the past couple of years, but was never quite satisfied with what I had tried out.

Then, after an American colleague's recommendation, I tried the UNICO needles from Kenshin - it was very different from the many needle brands I had tried before!

The handle and the body of the UNICO needles are superbly balanced. The needles are sharp, but not too sharp to ruin the Ki-sensation as the needle penetrates the different layers of tissue. The diameter of the guide tube that comes along with the UNICO needle(s) is just right to be precise; needless to say this is an important feature.

In other words UNICO needles meet the high standards needed when performing Meridian Therapy or any other kind of Acupuncture with Shen!"

Thomas Sorensen, Reg. Acup., Denmark

"I have in recent months started to use UNICO Acupuncture Needles and have been thrilled with their quality. Not only does the weight of the needle and handle feel better than what I had been using, they are more reasonably priced to boot!

I like that the handles are metal; I can almost immediately feel if my point location was spot on or not. My patients have been quite happy with them as well. Insertions are totally painless and comfortable. I have recommended them to colleagues and acupuncture students and get appreciative feedback from those who try them."

Bob Quinn, L.Ac., DAOM

"I use the UNICO needles, the smokeless Charcoal Moxa (Kyu-to-shin) with baskets, and the Premium Gold (loose) moxa. The UNICO needles are easy to handle and the insertion is smooth. They are my favorite needles and are by far the best on the market. Also, my patients love the Charcoal Moxa (Kyu-to-shin). I highly suggest trying the baskets/smokeless moxa. Thanks to Kenshin for supplying them, I really appreciate it! You can't get them anywhere else unless you take a trip to Japan."

Caroline Tomlinson, L.Ac.

The UNICO needles are very well-made with smooth insertion. I like the fact that the needles are made without silicon coating because I noticed some of my patients did react to silicon coating. The single pack needles are very easy to use with quick-release. The needles are sturdy yet very gentle and I recommend to use them to people with needles sensitivity. …The quality of needles is definitely superb.

“In my 20+ years of acupuncture and Oriental medicine, I have used many types of needles ranging both in quality and price. Over the years, I have found it necessary to use a higher quality yet cost affective needle for my patients. I have found that combination in the UNICO acupuncture needles.

Having been introduced to them by Masakazu Ikeda Sensei several years ago, my colleagues, students, and I myself were greatly impressed. Unfortunately, at that time they were unavailable in the United States. Through Kenshin Trading Corp. and especially the hard work and diligence of Mr. Kunio Suzuki, president/ owner of Kenshin, over the past several years, UNICO needles are now available in the U.S.

As an instructor and clinic supervisor at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego , UNICO are the ONLY needles we use in class and in clinic for practice and treatment. They are a superior replacement for the industry standard “The Painless One.” The metal handle greatly enhances the ability to feel the arrival of Qi so important in the subtleties of refined techniques for proper diagnosis and treatment. Thank you for your dedication to providing only the best products to the field of Oriental medicine and the demands of practitioners and our patients alike.”

K.C. Conover, L.Ac., Professor & Clinic Supervisor, P.C.O.M., San Diego

"I have been using UNICO Needles since Kenshin Trading has started carrying them. I find that they are easier to work with when using Japanese techniques. The needle is smooth and light. It feels balanced in my hand giving me ease of manipulation. The quality of the materials impresses me. I like that the whole needle is stainless steel. These needles can even be used for kyuto-shin. I recommend these needles to my colleagues."

Ken Glowacki, L.Ac., Chicago

“UNICO Acupuncture Needles are the most amazing acupuncture needles that I have ever used on myself and in my practice. My patients love them! The metal handle, needle shaft with no silicon coating, and sharp tip, are all features that complement easy insertion and improved needle manipulation. These needles provide improved sensing and easier directing. The ST8 type (featuring 1 guide tube, 8 needle packaging) is economical with less waste. Thank you for these wonderful UNICO Acupuncture Needles.”
