Guest guest Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Hi All - I have some questions for those of you who use a cheapie laser pointer for " laser acupuncture " treatments: - Do you hold the pointer directly on the desired spot (firmly? or softly?) or hold it some distance above skin? - Is a (red light) 650nm wavelength o.k (max output of 5mW)? Thanks! Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Kim, I'm really short on time right now, so don't have much time to look at the details wavelength details of my pen from DrE, so forgive me for not answering that part right now. I did want to let you know how we used ours. She put a black tube with a whole cut in one side just big enough to hold a vile. One of our viles was plain water. Inserting this in front of the laser beam makes the beam go from a " point " to a " line " beam. With the line beam you sweep. We were taught to sweep 7 times back & forth on an area (palms of hands, ears...many of the accupuncture points...also liver, head while reading & doing his neurological excersizes. For us the Lightworks was an upgrade so we rarely use ours anymore...I head to my Lightworks instead. She also gave us homeopathic & other viles to insert & sweep with the beam in the same manor. You can put an oil or herb on the skin & laser it in for a deeper topical penetration using the " line " beam to push it in further. I do not have time to check this...but a couple of years ago we posted some on this...I checked my informative posts spreadsheet & think it was either message #2349 & 2362 (LIGHT/LED THERAPY); 6033(Protocols Excersizes and Tapping Acupuncture Points -Limin) or 3107 ( answers some questions on Laser Diodes & LED's)....check one of these out to see it this ? can be answered further for you.
