5.0 out of 5 stars Love the Pointer Ecel II, November 2, 2010

Pointed Excel II is best used by an acupuncturist. Acupuncture is the best but this is great for quick energy work on a specific acupuncture point. We've had ours for one week and love it. My husband is using it on my shoulders where it is hard to use a needle and there is already improvement within a week. Acupuncture takes time for the body to heal and so it is with the pointer excel II.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tool for microcurrent use and for locating points, January 12, 2010

This review is from: Pointer Excell II Digital Acupunture & Pressure Point Locator (Health and Beauty)

I'm still figuring out how this works. I have chronic fatigue syndrome with myofascial pain/fibromyalgia, and I have a micro-current unit (like a TENS unit) that i use to "melt" my trigger points. But the electrodes can itch, and sometimes i want to move them around, especially since i have pain all over my body. So i got this pen to use instead.

I've kept it at the lowest, micro-amp frequency settings, mostly because I don't know if it will cause problems at higher settings. I've used it to find points, then do acupressure on them.

The hand-held metal piece that comes with it is to be used when someone else is treating you. My husband did not have luck with this, so I can't say how well that part works. But for use of the pen alone on myself, where I already KNOW the pain is, or may be originating, it is useful. It also comes with a smaller tip that can be used for points on the ear.

I've used it mostly on my fingers/hands, toes/feet to balance meridians and I seem to be progressing with my overall healing.

UPDATE: Feb. 2011.
I still keep mine mostly on the lower frequencies, lowest intensity, lowest sensitivity, since I have so many trigger points (it detects points EVERYWHERE.) But they are getting better. I have yet to figure out what the plus/minus is for. I'm not a student of Chinese medicine, but I apply the pen where it hurts, or around the sore area, or just on the ends of the muscles. At first I was afraid and just used it on my fingertips/toes. But now I use it on my limbs, my back, my belly, my face, etc.

I have a chart for meridians, etc. and sometimes I follow along them, but it's not necessary. The beauty of this instrument is that it TELLS you where the points are...acupoints, trigger points, etc. Any over-stimulation (acupressure/puncture/massage) is going to make a person feel ill. I have found an increase in my chronic fatigue symptoms if i do extensive energy work throughout my body, but after my system 'flushes out' the toxins that have been released (it takes a few days,) I feel a lot better.

Trigger point location can be imprecise and of course. some have more sensitive fingers than others. This device helps locate the TP but also helps the patient get a more graphic understanding of their TPs beside, "It hurts around there".
