MICRO MAGNETS

Description and Use

Numerous varieties of magnets of various sizes, shapes and potency are used in
magnet/acupressure therapy. Presently, the Sansthan uses ten types of micro
magnets for acupressure therapy.

1. Star Magnet (Medium/Standard).  A small magnet with its North Pole side circular
shaped and South Pole side star shaped. Diameter - approximately 5 mm. Used for
balancing the energy in the required part of the body. When applied, the star of
the magnet should touch the body skin.

2. Star Magnet (Large).  It is the same as star magnet (standard) with the di erence
that it is slightly larger in size with a diameter of approximately 7 mm. It is used for
classical Chinese points which are bigger in size, for byol points on the palms, feet
and ngers with greater inter point distance, for EAV points and where greater
magnetic power is required.

3. Star Magnet (Small).  It is the same as star magnet (standard) with the di erence
that it is slightly smaller in size with a diameter of approximately 3.5 mm. It is used
when the energy points on the body surface are smaller, for example, smaller
ngers of ladies/children, toes of feet, etc. and where lesser magnetic power is
required.
4. Byol Magnet (Medium/Standard). A circular, dual polarity small magnet. Diameter
– approximately 5 mm. Its one side is painted white and the other side painted
yellow. This type of magnet is used for toni cation/sedation, i.e.,
increasing/decreasing of energy level in the required part of the body. For carrying
out toni cation, the yellow side of the magnet (North pole) should be touching
the body skin and the white side should be visible to the eyes after application. For
carrying out sedation, the white side of the magnet (South pole) should touch the
body skin and the yellow side should be visible to the eyes after application.

5. Byol Magnet (Large).  It is the same as byol magnet (standard) with the di erence
that it is slightly larger in size with a diameter of approximately 7 mm. It is used for
toni cation/sedation of classical Chinese points which are bigger in size, for byol
points on the palms, feet and ngers with greater inter point distance, for EAV
points and where greater magnetic power is required.

6. Byol Magnet (Small).  It is the same as byol magnet (standard) with the di erence
that it is slightly smaller in size with a diameter of approximately 3.5 mm. It is used
for toni cation/sedation of energy points on the body surface, which are smaller,
for example, smaller ngers of ladies/children, toes of feet, etc and where lesser
magnetic power is required.

7. Chakra Magnet (Medium/Standard). It is a circular, two-piece magnet with the
overall diameter of approximately 11 mm. The outer magnet has a hole in the
center, making it ring shaped. It is painted white on one side and yellow on the
other side. The standard byol magnet ts into the central hole of this ringed
magnet. Toni cation occurs when the yellow side of the central byol magnet along
with white side of outer ring touches the body skin. Sedation occurs when the
white side of the central byol magnet along with yellow side of outer ring touches
the body skin. This type of magnet is used for toni cation/sedation of ‘yogic’
chakras and for classical acu points requiring greater magnetic power than the
byol magnets. This magnet can also be used for byol points in certain
circumstances.

8. Chakra Magnet (Large).  It is the same as chakra magnet (standard) with the
di erence that it is slightly larger in size with the overall diameter of
approximately 14 mm. The large sized byol magnet ts into the central hole of the
outer ringed magnet. This magnet is used for toni cation/sedation of ‘grah’
chakras No. 1, 2, 3, 4 and on classical Chinese points where still greater magnetic
energy is required.

9. Chakra Magnet (Small).  It is the same as chakra magnet (standard) with the
di erence that it is slightly smaller in size with the overall diameter of
approximately 9 mm. The small sized byol magnet ts into the central hole of the
outer ringed magnet. This magnet is used for toni cation/sedation of ‘yogic’
chakras and classical acu points in the case of children.

10. Cluster Magnet (Star).  In few types of treatment, clusters of four or ve star
magnets need to be applied on the acu points. The therapist places one star
magnet in the center of the acu point and the remaining star magnets around the
central star magnet. For the convenience of therapists, pre xed cluster of
four/ ve star magnets glued on to a plastic surface have been designed and do
away with the need for therapists to form their own clusters.

Cluster Magnets (Star)

Cluster of Five – Plus Shaped      Cluster of Six – Flower Shaped

Method

These magnets are xed on the palms, ngers, feet, toes or other body parts for
various duration of time as decided by the acupressure therapist. The magnets are
xed on the body parts with the help of adhesive, surgical paper tapes.
Precautions

Byol and chakra magnets should be used only under the guidance/directions of a
trained acupressure therapist for a speci ed period of time. Star magnet is relatively
safe and may be used without guidance. In all cases, the magnets should be removed
immediately on appearance of any adverse symptom, i.e., discomfort, heaviness, pain
or numbness in head or any body part, nausea, uneasiness, sudden change in blood
pressure, body temperature, etc.

A wooden or plastic device about 17-18 cm long with four wheels attached to its
bottom, just like the wheels of a toy car. The front two wheels are xed about 2.5 cm
apart and have a width/thickness of about 4-8 mm. The wheel diameter is about 5-6
cm. The rear two wheels have similar dimensions. The body of the device on the top is
hollow shaped so that it can be gripped easily with the hand. The whole device looks
somewhat like a mouse and hence it is often referred to as mouse.

Spine Roller – Top View                                              Side View

Use

The device is used to give general spine acupressure treatment to tone the complete
nervous system of the body. As we know, peripheral nerves emerge from the spinal
column and reach out to all parts of the body. Even the slightest disorder of a
peripheral nerve a ect the functioning of the corresponding part of the body being
supplied by that particular nerve. It has been seen that general spine acupressure
treatment using this device is greatly bene cial to improve the functioning of the
nervous system. In most cases, spine treatment has immediate e ect in alleviating
minor diseases and painful conditions of the body. Its use over a number of days is
also helpful in alleviating major diseases. A person feels greatly refreshed and
invigorated after a session of spine treatment and is thus extremely useful in
alleviating fatigue.

Method

A person cannot perform this treatment on one’s own and needs the assistance of a
therapist or a knowledgeable helper. To perform the treatment, the subject should lie
down straight on his/her abdomen on a at, hard surface, preferably on a table. The
legs should be in contact and be fully stretched. The arms should be by the side of the
body. The head should be straight and be resting on the chin.

The therapist should now perform spine treatment as per the following steps:

Place the spine roller on the upper end of the subject’s neck in such a way that the
wheels are equally on either side of the vertebrae.
Press down the device with moderate force once or twice.
Roll down the device 1.5 cm to 3 cm and again press down the device once or twice.
Continue the process of rolling and pressing down the roller till it has reached the
last vertebra, i.e., the coccyx (tail bone). The spine treatment is now complete.
The process can be repeated once or twice as per requirement.  

Precaution

The pressure applied should always be moderate. Too hard a pressure may damage
the spine whereas too light a pressure may not have the desired e ect. Instruct the
subject to immediately inform if the desired pressure is incorrect.
The spine roller must be centered all the time, i.e., the wheels must be equally on
either side of the spine or else, the vertebrae might get damaged.
The device must always be rolled down starting from the neck and terminating at the
coccyx. It must never be rolled up from the coccyx to the neck.
The treatment should be taken on light stomach, i.e. neither heavy nor empty. Avoid
taking the treatment for at least two hours after a meal.
Do not repeat the steps more than twice, i.e., not more than three steps. One
treatment a day is adequate.

Rs. 80.00

ELECTRO POINT FINDER/STIMULATOR

Description
The device comes in three parts, i.e., the main instrument, out put leads and an
electric adapter. The main instrument, i.e., the electro point nder/stimulator has an
approximate dimension of 8 cm by 6 cm by 2.5 cm. It has a regulator in its center to
control the output voltage/current. Markings from zero to ten are etched around the
regulator knob. Each marking indicates .4 volt and the ten markings indicate a total of
4 volts. Just below the regulator are located two switches side by side.

Electro Point Finder/Stimulator

The Left side switch is marked as ‘Pulse’. It has two positions marked as + (plus) and –
(minus). When on plus, the instrument gives out continuous direct current (DC). When
on minus, it gives out intermittent alternate current (AC). The Right side switch is
marked as ‘Polarity’ and has as similar marking of + (plus) and – (minus). When on plus,
the instrument gives the optimum out put of 4 volts and when on minus, its output is
halved to 2 volts. There is a socket in the middle of the two switches meant to insert
the output lead, i.e., the output socket. There is another socket on the side of the
instrument to insert the input lead from the adapter, i.e., the input socket.

The out put lead has one wire at one of its end and two wires at the other end. The
one-ended wire is meant to be inserted into the output socket of the main
instrument. The two-ended wires have separate metallic leads attached to them. One
is thick and elongated earthing lead and is meant for earthing the current. The other
is thin and elongated point nder/stimulator lead and is meant to nd/stimulate the
acu points.

The electric adapter is meant to convert the main 220 volts alternate current (AC) to 4
volts direct current (DC). It is meant to be plugged directly into the mains socket. A
wire from the adapter gets plugged into the input socket of the main instrument. The
main instrument works either on its internal cell batteries or through the mains.
When working on the batteries, there is no need to use the adapter.

Use

The device is a multi purpose apparatus meant for diagnostic and treatment
purposes. In its diagnostic role, it detects a disease, often before its symptoms
become manifest. In treatment role, it treats the acu points by their electrical
stimulation.

Method

Connect the output lead to the main instrument. Connect the input lead from the
adapter if it is desired to draw current from the mains. Place the thick earthing lead
of the two-ended wire in between any two ngers of any one hand, say, the earthing
hand. The other thin point nder/stimulator lead is now available to nd/stimulate
points on the other hand, say, the active hand.

For diagnostic purpose, the ‘Pulse’ switch should be kept at the plus position, i.e., on
continuous current. The ‘Polarity’ switch should also be kept at plus position, i.e., at 4
volts. The regulator should be switched on. The therapist should now move the point
nder lead with his/her one hand rmly over various assessed/estimated acu points
in turn on the patient’s active hand to determine their sensitivity to electrical current.
The therapist’s other hand should be holding the regulating knob and moving it
gradually from position 1 towards position 10.

As soon as current passes from the lead to the acu point, the patient will show a
reaction in the form of a hand jerk, gesture or facial expression. The therapist should
note the reading of the regulator at this point of time. If the reading at this point of
time shows between 1 to 5, it indicates a degenerative/chronic, i.e., yin disease. If the
reading shows between 6 to 10, it indicates an acute, i.e., yang disease. If there is no
disease, the acu point will not be sensitive and current will not pass from the lead to
the acu point. The name of the disease is determined based on the sensitivity of
various selected points.

Instead of starting the process from marking of 1, time could possibly be saved by
initially keeping the regulator at the marking of 6 or 7 and which could be taken in
either direction depending on the patient’s reaction.
Once the disease is diagnosed and treatment acu points selected, the instrument can
be used for treatment by stimulating these very acu points. Treatment procedure is
almost similar to the diagnostic procedure except that the ‘Pulse’ switch is now kept
at the minus position to provide intermittent current. If the patient is unable to
tolerate the intensity of the current, the ‘Polarity’ switch should also be put into
minus position. This will reduce the intensity of current to half. All the required acu
points should thus be stimulated in turn.

Precaution

Sensitivity to current depends upon intensity of the disorder as also it varies from
person to person. During diagnosis phase, do not linger on a point once its purpose is
served as it may cause unnecessary distress to the patient. Similarly, during
treatment phase, do not give more current than what a patient can comfortably
tolerate.
