Summary Auriculotherapy that works

Scars improperly healed can constitute an impediment/blockage to healing. In fact they can be the whole cause of a metabolic dysfunction, pain, mental or emotional disorders. Always ask patients for any history of accidents, operations, tooth extractions (did they heal quickly?) cuts or scars. The slow to heal ones are more often the cause of blockage but not the only cause. Point R, Point Zero, Laterality and Point E, First Rib is also implicated in blockages to healing. This article considers the treatment of scars. The TCM treatment is to bridge the scar. A needle is placed at either end of a scar. This is often effective and provides a basic method of dealing with superficial scar tissue. Before the discovery of the VAS there was no clear method to determine whether a scar was 'toxic' ' an impediment to healing. Practitioners routinely bridged scars with no clear understanding of the nature of the scar. Sometime after needling scars there would be a dramatic change in the condition of the patient. The scars could be normal well-healed scars with no subsequent impact on the energy balance of the patient or the focus of the blockage maybe on only one small point along the scar, unaffected by a bridging treatment. By using the VAS it is possible to determine whether or not a scar is 'toxic' and exactly where along the scar the blockage manifests, and therefore the appropriate place to needle. Whilst using your left hand to feel for the VAS on the patients left hand move the white end of your Black/White hammer, your probe or point of white light or even the tip of your middle finger (I use this because of the link with my pericardium channel) and note the response. Note any point along the scar where there is a significant VAS response; say six or more VAS pulses. For absolute accuracy let your needle placement also be guided by the VAS. Whilst feeling for the VAS move the needle tip slowly either side of the active area of the scar and a millimeter or two above. Where the VAS is the strongest and greatest number of pulses, needle. This will clear toxic scars. You may need to treat like this several times to clear; check each time to ascertain whether the blockage has cleared.
