Guest guest Posted February 17, 2000 Report Share Posted February 17, 2000 For ear acupuncture, you might want to use the PointerPlus, which is about $100 (U.S.). It's inexpensive, handheld, can deliver electrical stimulation (good for kids) Although i agree with others who say point detectors are more useful for ear acupuncture then body acupuncture, I don't even use them for ear acupuncture. Shine a good light on the ear, use your eyes, adapt your consciousness to the tiny dimensions of the ear and put the needle in. If your patient doesn't flinch or make a face or say " owww! " ask them if it hurt. If they say " no " , then take the needle out and try again. Usually even by you just touching the ear with the needle, the patient can tell whether you're " on " or not.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2000 Report Share Posted February 18, 2000 Re: point locators and LLLT's Thank you. Sometimes I feel like I'm in a candy store trying to make up my mind which is the best one to buy. So all opinions are greatly appreciated Ed Kasper LAc edkasper JCarrion [jcm00055] Friday, February 18, 2000 1:56 PM acupuncture RE: acupuncturepoint locators Importance: High " JCarrion " <jcm00055 The Diods laser (not infrared, is such a kind of a soft laser) is very usefull to stimulate points, and in pediatrics and veterinay. And if you prefer the infrared-ones, you2ll get the same benefit with an expensive one than using the " toy-laser " for kids that are sold on the streets. but believeme, diod lasers really work, I used them a lot in my clinical practice at Sri Lanka's Hospital (We can talk about this place if anyone is thinking on going there, I have a very critical opinion...).

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2000 Report Share Posted February 21, 2000 Hello Greg, I fully agree with you on the point location in the ear. All it really takes is focus and the point of the needle, if properly located it will give a very sharp and sometimes deep feeling, in extremo people will find it go all the way to the affected area. An other common reaction is when they say the affected region becomes warmer. In the ear itself you see redness and it feels very warm. Good luck, Rob Jansenxxx Talk to your friends online with Messenger. http://im. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
