Perfect for those who are scared of needles
I am excited to announce that I am now offering laser acupuncture. This non-needle treatment is perfect for babies, children, and anyone who is frightened of needles.
This treatment is extremely safe and uses 450 nm (calming blue) and 635 nm (stimulating red) cold lasers to stimulate acupoints. The really cool thing about this treatment is that recent research suggests that acupuncture meridians function like optical fibers or “light pipes” and transmit light energy throughout the body (this research is described in more detail below). Stimulating acupuncture points with lasers helps stimulate healing, reduce inflammation, stimulate the release of natural pain-relieving substances, and reinforce physiological balance.
Surprisingly effective
The treatment only takes a few moments and results that I have had to this point suggest that in many cases laser treatment is as effective as needle treatment. For instance my husband has severe chronic elbow pain as a result of nerve damage. His work is physically demanding and his pain is often quite intense in the evening and most nights he has a hard time falling asleep because of his pain. Last night I used my new lasers to treat him and he was snoring within minutes. He slept well last night and reports today that he feels unusually good!
The stimulating red laser helps to improve circulation and stimulate healing.
The calming blue laser helps to reduce inflammation bring about deep relaxation.
Modern research shows similarities between acupuncture meridians and fiber optics
Some of the most interesting research about acupuncture is currently happening in Korea. A North Korean anatomist named Bonghan Kim discovered anatomical structures that correspond to acupuncture meridians in humans and other mammals in the early 1960’s. But, because he did not reveal the microscopic dye staining technique which he used to make these vessels visible, very few scientists were able to confirm his discovery. Then, in 2002, researchers in South Korea directed by Kwang-sup Soh began using modern micro-anatomical methods to reinvestigate these structures. At first this network of threadlike vessels was called the Bonghan System after Kim Bonghan. It has recently been renamed and is now known as the Primo Vascular System (PVS).
The PVS consists of fine, threadlike structures that are found under the skin, inside of blood and lymphatic vessels, and also forming web-like networks on the surfaces of the internal organs. The Bonghan channels are filled with a circulating fluid that includes microcells containing DNA molecules which, like stem cells, are capable of regenerating damaged organs and tissues. Furthermore, the DNA in these microcells may be capable of emitting laser like coherent light called biophotons which would allow for the communication of incredible amounts of information at the speed of light. This biological fiber optic network would have the capacity to manage the organizational complexity of embryonic development and the ongoing repair and maintenance of our body that keeps us healthy in spite of demanding physical and emotional stresses.
