Acupuncture is a technique in which practitioners stimulate a point on the body using a sterile needle. It has been relieving pain for thousands of years through traditional Chinese medicine. It is safe when performed by experienced and well-trained practitioners.
There is nothing magical about the needle; the needles unblock meridian Qi flow. Meridian is like a highway where the energy Qi moves in the body at a different time of the day. When you experience pain, it usually means the Qi flow is stalled, and the area of the body becomes swollen, tender, and sensitive. Acupuncture helps release the Qi flow and produce instant relief of pain in most cases.
This is a subatomic medicine in which the sterile needle connects to an authorized machine that delivers electrons to the body. Our human body is generally at -25mV, while tissue repair requires -50mV. By stimulating the body with electrons, it improves tissue repair.
Although it was initially used by Chinese medicine for hundreds of years, later it was promoted by a French neurologist Dr Paul Nogier (1908-1996), who has mapped out our external ear for different diseased organs by finding an area of lower skin resistance on the ear. This means we can detect and treat a specific body part with a particular point in the ear.
Do you know that our small ears have more than 200 acupuncture points? And even World Health Organisation (WHO) standardized 39 ear points in 1990. We use a specific German-made machine that detects a slight electrical difference in resistance. Once discovered, we deliver a small microcurrent (feeling like a light tapping sensation) over 20-30 sec. Follow by applying a high-quality Japanese-made press needle for you to wear over the next 3-5 days.
The press needle is a discreet disc sticker with a tiny prick in the middle, and you can wear it the whole day, and it generally won't fall off during shower or sleep. You can intermittently massage the sticker to stimulate the point. It works like continuous acupuncture for the next 3-5 days.
It works well for people suffering excessive cravings for food, alcohol and smoking addiction, tinnitus and general pain disorder.
Popular among people who have a needle phobia and also numerous professional athletes. It uses simple suction cups to improve blood circulation and muscle relaxation, and more recent research has shown to enhance anti-inflammatory cytokine and immuno-modulating effect.
