WochuanAcupointer

The Wochua Ancupointer is a convenient way to self-administer low- VoltageTherapy, a method proven to have many health benefits. Low- VoltageTherapy is not a new technology although it is not well known in the Western world. It is commonly used in Traditional ChineseMedicine(TCM), sometimes in place of or in combination with acupuncture.

5 Benefits Overview

YourWochuan Acupoinctaenr is 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.
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.
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.
YourWochuaAncupointer 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.
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.

Note: The WochuaAncupointer 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.

Using YourWochuanAcupointer.

Install I double-A battery in the compartment.
Turn on the device by holding the handle with the tip up and pressing the lower half of the black toggle button. The number 1 should appear on the display. Repeat to increase power up to 9.
Put a small amount of Contact Gel on your inside wrist.
4. Starting with the device on a medium-low setting (3 or 4), Firmly press the tip to the wrist.
If you don’t feel anything at first, slide the tip around the general area until you feel the pulsing sensation. If you still don’t feel anything, click the button to a higher setting.
If you feel a stinging sensation it’s because there isn’t a solid connection from the tip to your skin. Use more Contact
Gel to fix the problem.
Continue sliding the tip around until you feel a strong pulse. When the pulse is strong it means you
have found an acupoint and you are stimulating. You may hold the acupoint directly on the point or gently massage the point along the associated meridian. Often
you will feel the pulsing another point along the meridian or coursing through the entire length of the meridian! Locations of points and meridians in the pages at the end of this booklet.

Using theWochuan Acupointer as a Tens Unit

Using the WochuanAcupointer to automatically trigger muscle contraction is a great way to exercise a hard-to isolate muscle, to help loosen a frozen muscle, or to prevent or reverse atrophy of immobilized muscle 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 to 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 moved 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 optimal). Then just relax the limb and let the device perform your isolated muscle workout for you.

Using the theWochuanAcupointer 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 until you feel a stronger pulsation. Continue for several minutes.
Note: Body Hair can interfere with the device making good contact with the skin. Using more Contact Gel will prevent the electrical arcing that causes a stinging sensation. If using the Acupoiter for muscle pain you can use a water-based analgesic balm instead of the gel.

Helpful tip: Jolt the Joints

When experimenting with the theWochuan 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 one of the places 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 Wenchuan 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 cleansing or moisturizing product you like will work as long as the face remains wet during treatment). Gently, but still making good contact, move the acupoints around the face avoiding contact with eyes or mucous membranes. 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!
