He’s Three-Method Acupuncture
A structured acupuncture system developed by Professor He Puren, bringing fine-needle, warming and strong-unblocking methods together through individual assessment.
He Puren’s Three-Method Acupuncture is a lineage-based clinical system developed by Professor He Puren. It organizes treatment through three complementary approaches known as Weitong, Wentong and Qiangtong.
Professor He Puren was recognized as a first-batch representative inheritor of China’s national intangible cultural heritage project “Acupuncture.” The national designation applies to the project Acupuncture; He’s Three-Method system is his clinical and academic contribution within that tradition.
At Canadian Western TCM Burnaby, Bill Wang, R.Ac. applies this framework together with TCM pattern differentiation, meridian theory and individualized point selection.
The choice of method depends on the person, presentation and clinical assessment. A named technique does not guarantee a particular result.
Your visit begins with a health history and an acupuncture assessment. Bill explains which approach is being considered and obtains consent before treatment.
Depending on suitability, care may use fine needles, a warming method that can include fire needle, or a stronger unblocking method that can include controlled bloodletting. Not every visit uses all three.
Needles and lancets are sterile and single-use. Fire-needle and bloodletting techniques are used only when clinically appropriate and after risks, alternatives and aftercare have been discussed.
A brief look at the warming method.
This short clip demonstrates a fire-needle step used within the warming approach. It is shown for education only; technique selection and treatment are individualized.

The three methods
Weitong · fine-needle method
Uses fine needles and meridian-based point selection to support regulation and function.
Wentong · warming method
Uses warming techniques, which may include fire needle, when warmth is clinically appropriate.
Qiangtong · strong-unblocking method
May include controlled bloodletting for selected presentations. It is not appropriate for every person and requires specific assessment and consent.
Clinical focus
Bill’s clinical focus includes supportive care for neurological and functional rehabilitation; acute and chronic pain; spine, joint and soft-tissue concerns; headaches; sleep and stress; digestive function; women’s health; selected skin concerns; and constitutional wellness.
Acupuncture is complementary care. New, severe or worsening symptoms should be assessed by an appropriate medical professional, and emergencies require 911 or the nearest emergency department.
