Acupuncture using Crystals

Traditionally, acupuncture is practised by inserting needles into carefully chosen points along the energy channels called meridians. However, crystals can be used  instead of needles at these energy points. Crystals have always been used in healing, and have been used in high technology (for example quartz crystals in electronics and computers). They have a special ability to focus and channel energy vibrations in a way no other material can. They are ideal for shifting energy in the meridians on the human body.

How are Crystals Used?
During the treatment, natural crystal wands are placed on the surface of the skin at the acupuncture points. The resulting effect is just like using a needle, with the same improvement in energy flow and balance. Clinical results with patients have been excellent when using crystals.

Who Can Benefit from Crystals?
People with needle phobia, those very sensitive to energy, those with severe skin problems and anyone who likes the idea of crystals. The difference is that the person undergoing treatment with crystals will feel very little direct sensation, if at all. Yet using crystals instead of needles results in the same effective healing in most cases. This opens up acupuncture to a wider group of people.

Are Crystals as Good as Needles?
Yes. For the main part of Five Element acupuncture, crystals produce the same results as needles. However, sometimes a patient might need techniques (in addition to the main Five Element system) in which several needles have to be inserted and left in. In such cases, the patient will be informed and can choose to have needles.
