What is pulse (electroacupuncture)?

"Pulse therapy" used in acupuncture and moxibustion is a treatment method that applies electricity to the needles to affect muscles and nerves. It is generally performed to areas where muscles are stiff, such as stiff shoulders or lower back pain, with the aim of promoting blood flow and relieving tension .


Pulse stimulation to the head - Focus on the galea

The head does not have large muscles like the shoulders or waist, so we focus on the "galea aponeurosis."

The galea aponeurosis is a tendon sheath that covers the top of the head. It does not move like a muscle, but it is a passageway for blood vessels and nerves, and is deeply involved in the health of the scalp and the function of the autonomic nervous system .


The benefits of sending pulses to the galea

1. Promote blood flow

The gentle vibrations created by the pulses widen the blood vessels, improving blood flow to the scalp and helping to relieve chills and fatigue.


2. Regulation of the autonomic nervous system

The head is an area closely connected to the autonomic nervous system. Pulse stimulation makes the parasympathetic nervous system dominant, which can be expected to have effects on relaxation and improving insomnia .


3. Improves scalp condition

By improving blood flow, nutrients can be more easily delivered to the hair roots, which has a positive effect on preventing thinning hair and hair loss and on hair care .


4. Relief of headaches and eye strain

This treatment relieves tension headaches and eye fatigue caused by desk work and smartphone fatigue. Many people feel a sense of relief from the heaviness in their head.


Pulse and head spa for brain fatigue care

You might think that pulse stimulation won't be effective because there aren't many muscles in the head, but in fact, it's the opposite. Pulse stimulation of the galea aponeurosis is a special treatment that directly affects blood flow, scalp environment, and the autonomic nervous system .
