Black Box Therapy, a.k.a. Acu-Point Electro Stimulation (Acu-Stim)

Acu-Stim is a safe and simple form of treatment, which is used in many forms. Gentle pulses are passed through the body’s Acu- Points system to stimulate the productions of natural chemicals, which form part of the body’s natural defences that deal with stress, Pain relief and healing.

Acu –Stim treatment is like acupuncture, but with no needles, risks or pain.

First a few points on one ear are stimulated for a few seconds each, then a small self stick on pad is placed on one or two acupuncture points on the body. You lie down and relax for half an hour and feel gentle pulses. Fast pulses help lift your mood up, while slow pulses help calm and relax you.

One treatment is good, but a course of treatment is more beneficial.
