Useful acupuncture points for your pet – without needles

Energies, meridians, and effectiveness

Energies circulate through the body, influencing all bodily functions. When the flow of energy is disrupted, acupuncture can help restore balance and correct disturbances.

This is the premise of acupuncture, an over 2,000-year-old method from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

These energies flow through invisible networks called meridians. Think of these networks as a large and vital energy transport system. The meridians, for example, connect all of the body’s organ systems. According to TCM, therapeutic acupuncture points are located at specific sites along these meridians.

The effect of acupuncture for your pet – for example your dog, cat, or horse

Are you thinking of needles now? You can forget about them, as no needles are used with Vitarights – not for your pet (or for you, by the way).

If your pet is not feeling well, please decide whether to speak to your veterinary practice or a treating therapist first. We believe that in case of doubt, it is always a good idea. You can then easily handle the vitalization with the Beosigner® and BeoKey Animal Complete on your own. Independent of practice opening hours. This way, you can do something good for your pet, whether at home or on the go, whenever it is needed.

Overview

Da die Kohärenz des Lichtes so entscheidend ist, gehen wir hier kurz auf sie sein. Normales Licht unterliegt in seiner Ausbreitung starken Schwankungen (Phasenschwankungen). Das bedeutet, die Lichtwellen bewegen sich räumlich nicht parallel und zeitlich nicht monochromatisch. Kohärentes Licht hingegen weist eine konsistente Phasenbeziehung auf: Alle Lichtwellen sind räumlich parallel und zeitlich monochromatisch. Dieses Licht hat also einen hohen Grad an Ordnung. Und deswegen kann es auch ordnungsbildend wirken und Informationen biologisch wirksam übertragen.

Medizinern zufolge geht ein Mangel an kohärentem Licht mit einem Mangel an relevanten Informationen einher und wirkt sich deshalb auf jeden lebenden Organismus aus, als Störung oder Krankheit. Zum Beispiel in Form von Stresssymptomen, Energiemangel oder einer Allergie.
