Acumed patches

natural pain relief mechanism

Acumed patches Acumed patches are a patented system that combines magnetic and electrical fields for optimum healing effects. Each patch consists of a hypoallergenic, self–adhesive plaster containing high purity zinc and copper in a magnetic field. The magnetic field is produced by a rare earth magnet (an alloy of neodymium, iron and boron) that provides a field strength of 2000 gauss. The magnet is coated with purified zinc and surrounded with tiny copper spheres, with each element pre–aligned and attached to the self–adhesive, microporous tape to ensure the correct magnetic (negative) pole is in contact with the body. The patch is made from a hypoallergenic, microporous material which allows the skin to breath and is particularly suitable for sensitive skins. Reproduced by kind permission of Acumed Each patch works as a mini transmitter, emitting small energy fields which have a soothing effect and stimulate the body's natural pain relief mechanism. Acumed patches generate three different electromagnetic fields: • magnetic –with the North (negative) pole touching the skin, and the South (positive) pole facing away from the skin Acumed Patches • micro–electric –due to copper and zinc forming a battery bridged by moisture from the skin • induced electric current –due to the magnetic field acting on the copper microspheres. These fields interact to produce pulsations of energy that are more effective than using a continuous signal. Although their exact mechanisms of action is unknown, the electromagnetic energy of magnetic patches is believed to interact with the energy of your own electromagnetic field (aura) to help strengthen it. Each patch should be applied to clean, dry skin near the site of pain. If positioned over acupuncture points (especially tender tsubos) associated with the painful areas the benefits may be even greater (See page 90). For small areas, or mild to moderate pain, only one patch may prove necessary. If–pain is more extensive or severe, several patches may be used to cover further acupoints as appropriate. Acumed magnetic patches should be left on the skin, undisturbed, for 5 to 7 days. They can be worn during all normal daily activities, including bathing and showering. After 5–7 days, the Acumed patch(es) should be gently peeled away and discarded. New patches can be resited as necessary –it is usually beneficial to"rest" for one or two days before re–starting treatment however.
