The Acupointer is a convenient way to self-administer Low- Voltage Therapy, a method proven to have many health benefits. Low- Voltage Therapy is not a newtechnology although it is not well known in the Western world. It is commonly used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), sometimes in place of or in combination with acupuncture.

5 Benefits Overview:
1. Your Acupointer can be used as a portable hand-held”Tens”unit to automatically trigger rapid muscle contraction when muscles are hard to isolate or when the muscle is immobilized in a cast or splint. The pulsed contraction effectively works the muscle for you which prevents atrophy.
2. To relieve pain by blocking pain signals as they travel from the nervous system to the brain. The pulsations also have a relaxing effect on tense muscles similar to that of massage.
3. As a beauty aid for stimulating the muscles of the face and body as well as tightening and rejuvenating the skin and subcutaneous layers to reduce wrinkles and sagging flesh associated with aging.
4. Your Acupointer can be used to locate acupoints on the body and stimulate them to unblock qi flow along a meridian or to focus qi on an acupoint associated with a weak or damaged internal organ. The mild electrical pulses act in the same way as acupuncture needles or acupoint massage.
5. Studies have shown Low-Voltage therapy to be helpful in reducing free radicals in the blood, purging the body of viral and bacterial infections, and even reviving dead cells associated with cancer.

Using the Acuponter as a Tens Unit

Using the Acupointer to automatically trigger muscle contraction is a great way to exercise a hard-to-isolate muscles, to help loosen a frozen muscle, or to prevent or reverse atrophy of immobilized muscles when you have a broken bone in a cast. (Consult your doctor before using the device directly on a wound or broken bone.)

It takes a little practice to find the muscle’s trigger points and the device must be pushed a little deeper into the surface of the skin, It is also important o relax the muscle you are trying to trigger as tensing may interfere with the device.

When you find the right spot the muscle will literally jump all by itself and “bounce” vigorously until the tip is muved from that spot. Only a slight movement will stop the effect so try to find a comfortable position you can hold for several minutes (fifteen to twenty minutes is optional). Then just relax the limb and let the device perform your isolated muscle workout for you.

Using the Acuponter as a Pain Reliever

Simply apply the gel to the affected area and press the tip against the skin, making firm contact. Hold the device in one spot or move it untill you feel a stronger pulsation. Continue for several minutes.

Notice: Body hair can interfere with the device making good contact with the skin. Using more Contact Gel with prevent the electrical arcing that causes a stinging sensation. If using the Acupointer for muscle pain you can use a water-based analgesic balm instead of the gel.

Helpful Tip: Jolt the Joints

When experimenting with the Acupointer a good place to start is at the joints: elbows, knees, ankles, and wrists. It is said in the Nei Ching, the 4000+ year old book of internal medicine that remains the basic text from which all TCM is taught, that the joints are on of the place where external pathogens linger in the body and become trapped causing blockages of qi. So it’s always a good idea to use Low-*Voltage therapy in these areas to help the body in purging pathogens.

Using the Acupointer as a Beauty Treatment

Set the Acupointer on a lower setting (2 to 4) and apply the contact gel to the face (aloe vera gel or any cleaning or moisturizing product you like will work as long as the face remains wet during treament). Gently but still making good contact, move the acupointer around the face avoiding contact with eyes or mucous menbranes. When you feel pulsing, leave it on the spot for a few minutes and let the device exercise, tone and tighten those facial muscles that tend to sag with age.

Concentrate on problem spots such as bags or puffiness around the eyes and cheeks. You’ll be amazed at how well it works after just a few treatments!

Notice:

The acupointer uses your hand as a ground pole to complete the circuit, so you may sometimes feel the voltage in the hand you’re holding it with. That’s because there are many acupoints in the hands. Simply change your grip slightly or grip the device with more of your hand surface to disperse the effect.
