The Bionic Band and Pain Relief
Everyone
who wears a Bionic Band does so for different reasons. Some
people wear the Bionic Band because of reported pain relief.
How is this possible?
Traditional
Chinese Medicine (TCM) likens the human body to a highly complex
electrical circuit. Like any electrical circuit it must be kept
in good working order for it to function effectively, and if the
circuit breaks down the result may be seen as pain, fatigue and
or illness. One of the major assumptions in TCM is that health is
achieved by maintaining the body in a "balanced state"
and that disease is due to an internal imbalance of yin and yang.
This imbalance leads to blockage in the flow of energy along pathways
known as meridians.
TCM theorizes
that it is essential for energy, as well as blood, to circulate
in a continuous and unobstructed manner for optimal health of the
mind and body. Acupuncture meridians, or channels, are the pathways
through which the energy flows throughout the body. Acupuncture
points lie along the meridians and are the holes that allow entry
into the acupuncture meridians. The acupuncture points provide gateways
to influence, redirect, increase, or decrease body's vital substances,
energy and blood, thus correcting many of the body's imbalances.
When you place
the Bionic Band on your body, you are creating that same balance
and also opening up the energy pathways (circuits) by aligning the
protons and creating that "cellular teamwork". All this
without the needles of TCM!
Note:
You will want to use the original band for this. The sports band
frequency is too high to assist with any possible pain relief.
