CODE Diode: £50
Japanese diode rings - Diode rings are diodes that are mounted on copper rings.
They initiate movement in the meridians, and are part of the polarity protocols taught by several Japanese acupuncture practitioners.
Used on the fingers they activate the “well” of the meridians, the source, where the energy is most volatile (like a spring head of a river). Taped on the body, the rings will pull out inflammation, and that action can be enhanced by use of the 3-bypass cord, aluminum foil and the pachi-pachi.
They are especially good for bone and ligament issues, as well as bruises and inflammation, and scars, and can be of help in treating children or those who are needle phobic. Japanese diode rings are a wonderful add-on to your acupuncture tool box.
We have three sizes of diode rings with approximate diameters:
small 20mm, medium 26 mm, and large 30mm.
The diode rings are sold in pairs in a presentation box.

We use a various Germanium point contact diodes which seem to be the most effective type for this form of treatment. They all behave in a similar way and the exact understanding of how and why they work is still a matter of speculation. The rings and cords act as subtle energy devices and the diodes are not performing as far as we can tell as they would in a radio circuit where they are "detectors" of signal.
Please understand that the diodes we use are no longer in production and we are sourcing them from all over the world where there are stocks remaining. Hence their external appearance may differ from the images on this site.
