Guest guest Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Dear Avishay, As Par and Sami each said, WANG BU LIU XING seeds are sold already prepared and attached to adhesive tape in boxes of 100. They are readily available in the US, and I would be surprised if they couldn't be purchased in Israel as well. An alternative to them is ear tacks, which instead of the WANG BU LIU XING, has on the small pieces of adhesive tape tiny needles on what appear like springs, for easy mounting. The practitioner simply applies the tape, with the seed or tack facing down on the particular acupuncture point. Though referred to as " ear seeds " they can be used anywhere on the body. I had been taught that they should be stimulated from time to time throughout the day, and that they should be removed after 3 days, as they become less effective at that point. Chag Sameach, Yehuda -- In Chinese Medicine , " Par Scott " <parufus wrote: > > They are used just like pressballs, applied with a small piece of tape. They are somewhat irritating on their own, so it is easier to rub and irritate the points. They also have a channel opening quality, which would probably also influence their function. I suspect the main reason they are used is that they are cheaper and easier to find in China than thousands of miniscule magnetic ball- bearings. > > Par Scott > - > avishay_yamin > Chinese Medicine > Tuesday, March 27, 2007 1:55 PM > auricular acupuncture > > > hi all > and dear yeuda frishman > > does anybody knows how to use WANG BU LIU XING seeds with auricular > acupancture? > it is mentioned in many chinese TCM books that it is possibole to use > it instade of needels but i dont realy know how > thanks > avishay > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
