Acutouch is an alternative medicine method that combines acupuncture and touch. It is a traditional Chinese medicine technique comparable to acupuncture in its use of acupuncture points and meridians. It is different from acupuncture though in the way it stimulates such points and meridians. Acupuncture uses procedures such as massage and cupping as well as moxa, hot stone, herb, herbal wine, toothpick, and other means for stimulation.
