Crystal Acupuncture
Traditionally, acupuncture is
practised by inserting needles into carefully chosen points along the
energy channels called meridians. These points used are very special
centres of energy that will result in a balancing or
unblocking the whole body energy system. This is how I practice
acupuncture for the majority of patients.
However, crystals can be used instead of needles at these
energy
points. Crystals have always been used in healing, and have
been used in high technology (for example quartz crystals in
electronics and computers). They have a special ability to focus and
channel energy
vibrations in a way no other material can. They are ideal for
shifting energy in the meridians on the human body.
How are Crystals Used?
During the treatment, natural crystal wands are placed on the surface of the skin at the acupuncture points. The resulting effect is just like using a needle, with the same improvement in energy flow and balance. Clinical results with patients have been excellent when using crystals.
Who Can Benefit from Crystals?
People with needle phobia, those very sensitive to energy, those with severe skin problems and anyone who like the idea of crystals. The difference is that the person undergoing treatment with crystals will feel very little direct sensation, if at all. Yet using crystal instead of needles result in the same effective healing of the person. This means that a wider group can have acupuncture treatment.
Are Crystals as Good as Needles?
Yes. For the main part of Five Element acupuncture, crystals produce the same results as needles. However, sometimes a patient might need techniques in addition to the main Five Element system in which several needles have to be inserted and left in. In such cases I will inform the patient and give them the choice to have needles.
How Was Crystal Acupuncture Discovered?
Dr. K. Simmonds, a medical doctor and an acupuncturist, first pioneered this technique. She used it extensively in her clinic before offering to pass the knowledge on to other qualified acupuncturist. I was fortunate to know Kath and attended her course and is now able to offer this alternative at my practices.
