The transparent top cover piece fits over the opaque colored bottom piece and forms a semi-oval needle reservoir at the distal end, a cylindrical inserter at the proximal end and a channel formed between the semi-oval needle reservoir and the cylindrical inserter to allow for individual channeled movement of the plurality of acupuncture needles from the semi-oval needle reservoir through the formed channel and into the cylindrical inserter. The cylindrical inserter includes an insertion tube that may be magnetized to facilitate receiving and holding a single acupuncture needle in place until removed by a plunger from the dispenser.
