What is HealthTouch?

It's a self treatment instrument which offers you drug-free pain relief and treatment of more than 140 common ailments such as migraine, asthma, high blood pressure, arthritis and stress, as well as acute pain from sports injuries, accidents or chronic conditions.

How does it work?

HealthTouch stimulates precise points which are linked to electromagnetic channels, called meridians, that run through our bodies and are a completely different arrangement to the nervous system. These stimulate your body's own healing system to function again to return you to good health without drugs.

Can it treat everything in the manual?

All the treatments that are in the manual are there because research has shown that acupuncture has a good result. Some treatments however do not have our 80/90% target, Tinnitus for instance has only a 55% success rate but even this is 55% better than orthodox medicine.

How long does it take to work?

In most cases it can work within minutes of the first treatment. Acute problems can be gone within a couple of days - chronic such as arthritis problems may need daily treatment for a month, but eventually may even disappear completely for up to two years before more treatment is needed. No medical treatment has a 100% guarantee of working, of course, but with HealthTouch you have a 30-day trial and a money-back guarantee if you're not completely delighted with the results.

Does HealthTouch have to be applied by a trained acupuncturist?

How do you find the right point?

HealthTouch has a built-in detector that indicates with a light and a high-pitched buzz when you have found the spot (within 0.5mm). You also feel a definite tingling sensation on the spot which is your confirmation that you are on the right spot. If you do not feel anything on the point then you have "missed the point".

Is is difficult to use?

NO! It may take a little bit of practice to start with, but the unit comes with a good instruction video and a book showing all the treatment points. You can also get help and advice from your local user group if you need it.

Does it hurt?

NO! You will feel a tingling sensation on the correct point only, but you can then turn the power down to suit you - and when the tingling has subsided you know you're really getting better.

Does HealthTouch just mask the pain?

NO! Painkilling drugs mask the pain and don't solve the problem - this can lead to chronic conditions. HealthTouch actually stimulates the body's own healing system without the use of drugs and helps get rid of the pain rather than just masking it. If you have a serious problem requiring treatment the warning pain will return quickly with HealthTouch, not with drugs!

What are acupuncture points?

These were discovered by Chinese doctors thousands of years ago; the points are all over the body and act like tiny switches when, traditionally, very fine needles are applied by acupuncture experts. With the help of modern technology, HealthTouch avoids the use of needles and enables everyone to treat themselves safely and effectively.

Does HealthTouch actually cure things or just relieve the pain?

It depends on the ailment. If the problem is beyond recovery (such as a knee cartilage that has completely degenerated, for instance) HealthTouch cannot provide a cure, but it will stop pain and stiffness and prevent further deterioration. With normal acute and chronic pain and non-pain conditions, the stimulation of the body's own healing system can often lead to a full recovery.

How long does the pain relief last?

There are no hard and fast rules, of course, but once treatment has started to take effect (within minutes in some cases), acute pain relief can last for up to 24 hours between treatments. Chronic but recoverable conditions can be pain-free for between six months and two years.

Can I reach every point on my body?
