Energetic Medicine Explanation

In the 1950’s, a German medical doctor, Reinhold Voll, found that he could accurately locate acupuncture points using a simple electrical measuring device, the Ohm-meter. Being involved in the ancient Chinese practice, his idea was that modern technology may enhance the energy balancing sessions to combat various chronic ailments. The foundations of energetic medicine were born.

Dr. Voll’s research led him to electro-acupuncture (EAV). He found that acupuncture points had a uniquely different electrical resistance (lower) than the tissues immediately adjacent to them. The electrical resistance of the points alter with physical and emotional changes giving an indication whether the body is in a healthy state. Dr. Voll demonstrated that electric currents could enhance manipulation of the traditional acupuncture points.
