Re: Re: Scalp acupuncture for autism

[Guest guest]

Thanks for that! Thinking out loud ... I wonder if sweeping/covering a large area with Lightworks would work on those points?? Or does it have to be a small light source, like a pen laser that would focus on on area only?

Natasa

I found this online. There are pictures on the bottom.

Gayatri,

Thank you for the link. The link you posted was where I started with.

Nanasa,

I later purchased a chart from sinicave.com:

http://www.sinicave.com/pd_the_practical_chart.cfm. The chart is quite easy

to follow. But it is too big (dimension-wide) for me to scan and post. We

used very fine needles for scalp acupuncture. They are different from those

used for body acupuncture. Once inserted, the needles stayed in for 30 - 45

minutes 2X.

A mom who has some training in scalp acupuncture showed us how to do it. I

would not recommend that you use the needles at home. A regular laser pen

costing about US$30 - US$40 is a safer way to start.

There are two well-known scalp acupuncturists in California. I don't know

if you can find any practitioners around where you live.
