Connections between MAGRAIN and meridian
points
|
Stiffness and ache in the neck, shoulder, and lower back are |
caused by various reasons: fatigue, wounds, internal disease, |
disorders in internal secretions, infection with the cold, and inner |
strss, among others. |
The sense of stiffness and ache is felt as the connected pains to |
the original illness via body fluid and nerves. It makes the particular |
skin oversensitive and changes the skin in color and moisture degree. |
These symptoms are called viscero-cutaneous reflexes. |
They appear strongly to the particular points of the skin, to wider parts, |
or to the whole body. The symptoms often appear most strongly to |
the skin on affect areas via short routes. Internals and particular |
parts of the skin also interact strongly with each other via long routes, |
and the reflexes appear to the meridian and collateral points. |
These reflex points on meridians and collaterals, which are called |
"Tubo" in Japanese, are vital in Oriental medicine. |
Connections between particular symptoms like internal diseases and |
"Tubo" are more universal than have difference in the individual. |
If you stimulate "Tubo" that become sensitive showing discoloration |
and swelling of the skin, affected areas are cured via short routes of |
cutaneo-visceral reflexes. |
It is learned from experience that the stimuli to "Tubo" situated far |
from affected areas also give effect on the areas through meridians |
and collaterals. |
A metallic ball of MAGRAIN
|
A metallic ball of MAGRAIN is a special alloy of 1.2 mm in diameter |
made from iron (81.9%), chromium (4.2%), manganese, and so on. |
If you apply it with a plaster, it has the same effect as acupuncture |
and moxibustion. The effect continues intermittently for 2-3 days in |
a cutaneo-visceral reflex according to stimulus of pressure and |
oxidation of metal. In comparison with material for acupuncture and |
moxibustion, MAGRAIN is more than 2.7 times as effective as a piece |
of glass and more than 2.3 times a chip of wood. |
Points to apply MAGRAIN
|
The effect of MAGRAIN treatment is well influenced by the correct |
point selection. It is very important to select therapeutic points |
carefully as well as acupuncture-moxibustion. |
I'm using MAGRAIN as a compress to stiffess and ache, it is effective |
to apply them within 1 cm of the places that turn red when the skin is |
rubbed. Since MAGRAIN stimuli are weak at the beginning stage, it is |
more effective to apply MAGRAIN after the receptiveness of the skin |
is heightened by the stimulation of acupuncture, moxibustion, finger |
pressure therapy, hot pack, etc. Generally, MAGRAIN with a ball in |
silver, containing zinc and iron, which is easy to ionize, is suitable for |
hyper function symptoms accompanied by pain, swell, and fever. |
MAGRAIN with a ball in gold, containing copper and aurum, is suitable |
for hypo function symptoms accompanied by cold and numbness lasting |
for a long time. |
The process of MAGRAIN treatment |
Since a viscero-cutaneous reflex heightens the sensitivity of the
skin, the skin under treatment gets more effective stimuli than usual.
A viscera-cutaneous reflex works when the continuous pressure and stimuli are given to the skin under MAGRAIN treatment. |
Habitual use of MAGRAIN
|
No decline of effect is confirmed clinically in habitual use of |
MAGRAIN. Rather, once you get a good effect by the application of |
MAGRAIN, routes to the affected area will be clarified and you will get |
more immediate, certain effect. Moreover, it is not confirmed clinically |
that physical condition worsens after MAGRAIN is removed. In the |
case of applying MAGRAIN for relieving superficial pain, the pain may |
appear again till original diseases are healed. |
Marks on the skin
|
A mark of a metalic ball may remain after MAGRAIN is removed for 2-3 days or for 1 month in a rare case. The ball turns to dark red by oxidization in reaction to body fluid, exuded increasingly around the points of application. Strong stimuli by oxidation make on the skin a mark like an insect bite and a small itchy swelling. This is a proof of the correct application of MAGRAIN on therapeutic points and of good effect. Such reaction is hardly seen on insensitive points. The color may remain on the points of application, according to age, individual constitution, and physical condition. If you are easy to react to the stimuli, it is desirable to change MAGRAIN within a day. |
Side Effect
|
During MAGRAIN treatment, you may feel tired or have diarrhea |
according to your physical condition. These symptoms disappear when |
you remove MAGRAIN. MAGRAIN is made of familiar metal in our daily |
lives, such as iron, chromium, manganese, etc. and does not contain |
dangerous chemical objects. If you have a mark of a metallic ball on |
the skin after removing MAGRAIN, you need to pay attention not to |
fester the place. If you are allergic to adhesive tapes, feeling pain and |
itching at the place of application, or if you have a swell and reddish |
skin soon after the application, you should take them off as soon as |
possible. If you feel pain after you have tried MAGRAIN a few times, |
and if a swell is seen only at the point of the metallic ball, you just need |
to disinfect and keep the place clean, for it proves good effect of the |
treatment. |
( If reactive to MAGRAIN, women at the early stage of pregnancy |
should withhold the application to "Sanyinjiao (Sp6)" in order to avoid |
miscarriage. ) |
