Don't buy this junky thing. It broke after only a week. Sometimes it turns on, sometimes it doesn't. It's made of cheap, thin plastic. I would recommend buying HealthCare's Acu Pen (TH 366N). Note: I'm not associated with either of this products financially (do not work for the companies, do not own stock, nor am acquainted with either company). The HealthCare Acu Pen has helped my numb hands more than other medical treatments I have tried.

The greatest obsticle to the modern understanding of acupuncture from a scientific prespective has not been in the results. The results speak for themselves. In fact, rescent studies have shown that true acupuncture in which traditional and known acutuncture points have been effected in treatment has been more effective than sham acupuncture in which treatment has been preformed on random points. The obsticle is simply the inability of modern science to measure and detect the entire process. Modern science is not complex enough to study fully this ancient art.

Giant leaps have been made however, such as in the book Neuro-Acupunctue detailing studies which have shown through PET scans the corresponding areas of the brain effected through Acupuncture treatments. Acupuncture points are acutal and measurable points on the body. The e Acu Pen is able to detect points and emits a beep letting the user know where to apply treatment.

Traditionally acupuncture treatments have been done with needles. This is due in large part to available technology. But even the needles, if we compare the thin and relatively painless needles used in modern times to the bulky and sometimes crude needles used in centuies past, we can see that even within traditional modalities the systmem has been refined according to available technology. People undergoing acupuncture treatments with modern electrical devices, such as the acu-pen, have reported similar benefits to those using the more traditional needle therapy.

The acu pen is not a replacement for a qualified practioner, who may also perscribe other therapy such as herbal formulas, etc. But, it is faster and more effective than chemical medication for pain control, amongst many other things, and is simple and convenient to use.
