The aim of the therapy is to manipulate the body’s energy fields and to stimulate the body’s own immune systems and thereby fight infection. Sonopuncture is a stimulation of the body similar to acupuncture, carried out by using a narrow, cylindrical high frequency beam of sound instead of needles. (Wikipedia definition)Some healers call this therapy as sound healing It is a better alternative to acupuncture especially when treating people who are highly sensitive, needle-phobic,children, elderly or those that are very weak.The quartz crystal in the sound head vibrates from the rapidly changing electrical currents applied across the facets of the crystal which generate the ultrasound beam that is directed to the acupuncture point for short periods of time (about 15-45 seconds). The ultrasound wave can penetrate the skin about 6-8 cm, and is conductive through fat tissue without absorption, so the target muscles (where most acupuncture points are) can be treated. This is good news for people with a lot of fat tissue that do not gain much effectiveness in the acupuncture treatments. Most effective are high frequency sound waves of 750 to 1,000 kHz (or 750,000 to 1,000,000 cycles per second) or greater, and the frequency of ultrasound used in sonopuncture is one megahertz; vibrating at a million times a second.
