Acupuncture: Overview
• Originated in China over 5,000 years ago.
• A system for diagnosing and treating disease utilizing fine needles inserted into specific points into the body.
• Based on the belief that HEALTH is determined by a balanced flow of Chi (Qi), the vital life energy present in all living organisms.
Acupuncture: Overview
• Balance between Yin-Yang means health and harmony.
• If CHI is out of balance, needles are inserted to decrease or increase the one or the other to achieve balance.
• Chi, circulates along the body’s twelve major energy pathways, called meridians.

Know Your Meridians and
Symptoms
• Which organs correlate to which teeth?
• Probe the buccomuccal fold by poking the patient at the apex of his-her teeth
Apply Gentle Pressure …
Until a Tender Spot is
Discovered
• Once a tender point is found, take a needle or sharp pointed object and drag it in the bucco-mural fold until a small bleeding point appears…
Drag Your Needle Gently
• Small spot(s) of blood will appear.
• Insert needle 1 mm into tissue
• Deposit only 1 TO 2 drops of liquid
DO NOT OVERLOAD WITH
LIQUID
• Multiple injections may be needed within 2mm of each other; Therefore,
• Only 1 to 2 drops of liquid in a spot!

Clinical
Pharmacology
• Traumeel
®
Injection Solution does not inhibit the arachidonic acid pathway of prostaglandin synthesis. Instead, the mechanism of action of
Traumeel
®
Injection Solution appears to be the result of modulation of the release of oxygen radicals from activated neutrophils, and inhibition of release of inflammatory mediators from activated macrophages and neuropeptides
Traumeel
®
Contraindications:
Hypersensitivity to botanicals of the Compositae family
• The compositae family is a group of botanicals, kind of like “species” only broader.
Seven of the botanicals in Traumeel are members of this group (Arnica, Calendula,
Millefolium, Chamomilla, Bellis, Echinaceas).
Any adverse reaction in connections with
Traumeel is probably going to be due to hypersensitivity to one or more of these ingredients.
