Seirin Disposable Acupuncture Needles with Guide Tube

Disposable acupuncture needles from SEIRIN have set the standard world-wide - for good reasons. In order to be able to guarantee your patients safe and painless treatment we grind the needle points until they are as sharp-edged as diamonds, we polish them three times and siliconize the tip.

The needle point passes smoothly through the skin surface without causing any pains. A guiding tube makes application easier for the therapist if needles are no thicker than a single hair. To be on the safe side the needles are cleaned through electrolysis, sterilized with ethylene oxide gas and are individually blister-packed. We guarantee storage stability of 3 years.

The various needle sizes can be easily identified by the different colors of the needle heads. By the way: our needles meet with the strict GMP standards of WHO and are explicitly approved in most countries by the relevant health authorities.

Eye Massager Mask

The Eye Massager mask is worn around the head. The mask is generally shaped to fit against the ocular region of face. Using the acupressure technique the Eye Massager produces mechanical stimulation around the eyes and upper nose region, both in the form of applied vibration and finger-like action on pressure points. Pressure is applied on different 'pressure points' on the body, stimulating the corresponding glands of the body.

The mechanically stimulated massage is useful for reducing stress, improving skin and muscle tone, tension, sinusitis, eyestrain, headaches, driving fatigue and computer fatigue.

From the physiological and anatomical point of view, our eyes are divided up into branches of nerves and blood vessels. When they are stimulated appropriately, the blood circulation will be enhanced and will, in turn, activate and regulate the functions of the eyes. This will further strengthen our body resistance towards eye disease.

Benefits
Helps promote a stronger blood circulation thus relax the strain and fatigue of the eyes.

* Helps prevent near-sightedness or decreases the rising speed of near-sightedness.
* Helps people who have difficulty sleeping by reducing tension and fatigue.
* It will stimulate the pressure point on the nose, helping to open up the nasal passages. By doing this it will help prevent nasal congestion and brings relief to nasal discomfort caused by colds, sinusitis, hayfever etc.
* For elderly it may delay the coming of presbyopia, which is caused by the loss of elasticity of the eye muscle due to old age.
* Helps prevent eye bags and the little wrinkles around our eyes.

Pinhole Glasses
The pinholes help to train your eye to focus the vision and help to strengthen the eyes and with regular practice, the Eye Massager will help to improve eye co-ordination and increase and the flexibility of the eye focusing mechanism.

* To improve your short-sightedness (distance focusing), use the pinholes whilst viewing items in the distance, such as watching television or relaxing for 10 - 15 minutes.
* For long-sightedness (near focusing), use the pinholes whilst doing close up work such as reading.

Aromatherapy

By using Essential Oils within the eye massager to enhance the massage. Different essential oils can help with headaches, migraines and snoring and are excellent for calming.

There is a special tube on the Eye Massager for depositing drops of essential oils.

Professional Pounding Massager

The Pounding Massager gives you a more concentrated massage resulting in greater soft tissue manipulation. The company says that it has been proven to be able to penetrate down into the deep and soft muscle tissue, which is normally only reached after hours of intensive hands-on massage. The massage points move the muscle more frequently and consistently with less friction than hand massage, enhancing the continuity of massage.

Massager
The direct mechanical effect of rhythmically applying pressure and stretching dramatically increases the rate of blood flow. It is the pressure and wave motion of the Pounding massager that stimulates the nerve receptors and causes the blood vessels to dilate, allowing greater fluid exchange (i.e., blood, oxygen and lymph and the removal of waste products such as lactic acid and carbon dioxide). The Pounding Massager stimulates arterial circulation and aids return blood flow to the heart.

The Boiance™ Pillow

Face pillows have not changed over the past 50 years of technological innovation. While therapy tables have become lighter, stronger, and more portable, the pillows on these tables have essentially remained the same. The company says that Boiance™, has dramatically changed the 'face' of the therapy experience with a patent pending face pillow design. While others are still manufacturing with traditional materials and methods, Boiance™ is taking advantage of advanced materials and manufacturing processes to bring you a product that is superior in comfort and construction. Read testimonies from clients who've actually experienced the Boiance™ face pillow.

The unique difference is an internal structure within the foam cushioning that supports the face and weight of the head. Traditional face pillows consist merely of foam that compresses against itself when pressure or weight is applied. As the pressure increases, the pillow becomes harder, causing greater discomfort. Even other pillows that attempt to take advantage of new materials, such as memory foam, have their performance suffer greatly because of this effect. The Boiance™ pillow, however, creates a sense of 'buoyancy', conforming more comfortably to the face by dispersing the pressure.

An additional Boiance™ feature, designed through an intentional mapping of the face, is a spacious allowance for the eyes and an avoidance of the sinus cavities. The pillow will more naturally conform to the face than traditionally designed pillows, minimising pressure points associated with these less pliable designs.

Maria T. Larsen, D.C., BS, LMT
'As a doctor of body mechanics therapies, I am pleased to endorse the Boiance Face Cradle. As a massage client, I am happy to recommend its comfort to body work practitioners. Its unique design concept minimises the discomfort of focal pressures on the face, head, and neck. This allows for a more fully beneficial effect from whatever manual therapy that is being received.'

J Schaffer, LMT
'This is a great face cradle!! Other cradles compress the sinus cavities causing congestion and discomfort. However, with this design, I find that I can rest comfortably for longer periods of time without any discomfort at all. Clients will love it!'

Catherine Miles, MD
'It is as comfortable as a pillow top mattress!'

Patrice Morency, LMT
'Wow! I was really impressed by this face pillow/ face rest. After giving and receiving massage for over 22 years, I have never felt so comfortable and supported by a face rest. My face didn't feel compressed, my sinuses didn't get clogged, and I felt completely supported. I would recommend this face rest beyond any other.'

Catherine Cordonis, LMT

'I found this to be an exciting new product! Clients were very pleased with decreased sinus pressure/congestion.'

Doug Babb, Lake Oswego
'The Boiance face pillow is comfortable with extended use during long sessions. The custom designed padding is easy on the face, particularly around the eyes. That's important for contact lens wearers.'

Sabine Pater, LAC
'This face pillow is a much better product overall than the traditional one. Client satisfaction very high… and provides more breathing room for the face and frees up the eyes…'

Eileen Hickey Vidstrand, LMT

'My clients are really satisfied with the comfort and cushioning effect of the face pillow during massage. Often times, the client is prone for 30 minutes or longer, so this product is very much needed to prevent sinuses 'cradle face' and for overall comfort. While using the Boiance face pillow, not one of my clients complained about their sinuses being stuffed.'

Solarsaun - Dry Vortex Far Infrared Sauna

'The relaxation, healing and wellbeing factor felt with a Solarsaun experience is second to none. Deep penetrating heat makes the expression 'feel it in your bones' ring true!' says the company.

Now you can enjoy all the benefits of a portable, professional sauna in your own home or practice, at a fraction of the price of an installed unit.

The Solarsaun is a powerful - yet easy to use - health and fitness enhancement tool.

• Treat muscular aches & sprains.
• Stimulate Weight Loss
• Enhance circulation.
• Improve cardiovascular conditioning.
• Boost metabolism.
• Promote radiant skin.
• Eliminate toxins.
• Relax muscles.

Now enjoy a slimmer body, increased energy and wellbeing.

How does the Solarsaun incorporate Far Infrared?
Far infrared (FIR) is a specific segment of electromagnetic light energy occurring naturally in the suns spectrum, it has the ability to penetrate, refract, radiate and reflect.This energy is absolutely essential for the survival of human beings and all living entities. The Solarsaun reproduces these rays that fall in the wavelength range of 4 um and 14 um, this has been proven to be the most beneficial range. Solarsauns unique automatically controlled Ceramic Semiconductors distribute FIR heat energy via the vortex system, this is accentuated by the special reflective lining material and allows every part of the body to absorb the healing rays.

What are the benefits?
The design of the Solarsaun enables the heat to penetrate to a subcutaneous depth of up to 4.5 centimeters, and transform from light energy into heat energy. This unique wavelength creates a natural resonance with the bodies' cells, this thermal effect causes blood vessels and capillaries to dilate, therefore warming the body. This promotes better circulation, speeds up the metabolic rate, and the hyper thermal effect aids the expulsion of toxins. Scientific studies confirm that perspiration is one of the most beneficial ways to rid the body of heavy toxins (metals).

FIR sauna sessions have a similar effect to physical exercise as they increase blood circulation and cardiovascular conditioning. Regular use of an FIR sauna is like engaging in regular exercise because it will improve metabolism and activate cell growth, without the impact and exertion of most physical exercise.

Used in a clinical situation Solarsaun can be applied for both therapeutic and beauty treatments, for example, the use of heat treatment before a massage will help prepare clients by creating an overall relaxing effect. It also loosens the muscle tissue so the therapist can give a more thorough and effective massage, thus enhancing the effect and value of your treatment.

Why Solarsaun?
• We have not had any warranty claims!
• No pre heat time required.
• Portable, convenient, and competitively priced – costs less than traditional saunas.
• Minimal cleaning required as there is no condensation to be wiped up after use.
• Adds value to treatments.
• Increased circulation brings vital nutrients and proteins to the sub dermal layers, leaving skin radiant, cleaner and healthier looking.
• Brings relief to soft tissue injuries as well as muscle and joint pain.
• Aids the body's natural healing processes.
• Unlike traditional saunas, individual infrared saunas such as the Solarsaun heat the body, not the mind. The head is outside of the chamber when one is enjoying a session, therefore the occupant does not have to inhale the expulsed toxins or breath ultra warm air.
• Carries the highest international standard of approvals including CE, tuv, and C tick.

The Solarsaun now comes with a free foldaway chair for your comfort.
The dimensions of the Solarsaun when it is set up are 80cm(l) x 81cm(w) x 104cm (h). When boxed the dimensions are 72cm x 19cm x 70cm.
