Modern western medicine has finally recognized what the ancient Chinese have known for centuries – acupuncture is a viable treatment option for a variety of health conditions and illnesses. Of course, if you feel nauseous at just the thought of tiny stainless steel needles all over your body, you can look into a great alternative called magnetic wave therapy, also known as electronic acupuncture. One of the great benefits of this type of device is that it also has a detection mode.
How Electronic Acupuncture Works
While traditional acupuncture involves the placement of stainless steel needles inserted at various acupoints throughout the body, electronic acupuncture treats the acupoints in the hand, palm and even the wrist area. The device used is small and handheld, with a wand that delivers electromagnetic wave impulses to the acupoints. Thanks to a useful hand map that accompanies these devices, you can accurately pinpoint the area on the hand that corresponds to the body part or function you wish to treat.
The detection mode of these magnetic wave therapy devices works in a similar fashion, with one exception. You must establish a baseline before you can scan your hand with the handheld wand. Following the instructions, you would first touch the wand to the area known as Shao Shang, a spot found by the cuticle of your thumb. You should receive a buzzing sensation when the wand touches it. If it is too intense of a feeling, you can adjust the device until the buzzing reaches a tolerable level.
With the baseline established at the Shao Shang site, you can then scan the different acupoints of the hand, palm and other noted areas. If you feel a buzzing sensation that is a little more intense than your baseline, you should mark that area with a pen or marker. Once you have completed the scan, you can evaluate the results by comparing the marked areas to the hand map.
Interpreting Detection Results
For the ancient Chinese, balance of the body was important. They used acupuncture to ensure that the energy pathways found within the body stayed unblocked. With electronic acupuncture, if your body is in balance, the Shao Shang site should offer up the most intense buzzing sensation during your scans. However, if you experience intense buzzing elsewhere, then you know that something is not in balance within your body.
You can then take the results of your detection scan to your doctor, pinpointing the particular body parts or functions that are suspect. With a starting point, your doctor can order the appropriate medical tests for a definitive diagnosis. Keep in mind that while magnetic wave therapy is an excellent complement to western medicine, it should not be viewed as the sole tool for treatment and detection of illness.
