I, personally, hate paperwork and sometimes my inbox is filled with hundreds of e-mails that need sorting.\n<h4><strong>My favorite part about being an acupuncturist is TREATING PATIENTS and getting good results.<\/strong><\/h4>\nI have purchased so many books and products over the years to make me a better practitioner\u2014including books, tools, and marketing supplies. These products are great, but none of them cause my patients to hug me at the end of their treatment.\n\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000; font-size: large;\"><em>Let me tell you a secret.<\/em><\/span>\n\nI have found a product that <span style=\"background-color: #ffff00;\">makes me a better practitioner<\/span> <strong>AND <\/strong><span style=\"background-color: #ffff00;\">increases the amount of hugs I receive<\/span> from patients on a regular basis. So what is the secret? I know that you are dying for me to tell you\u2026\n\nActually, you already know the secret!!! It is <strong>Auriculo 3D<\/strong>!\n\nAuriculo 3D is one of my favorite acupuncture tools. It is well organized, easy to use, saves me time, makes my work more effective, and yes\u2014I even get hugs because of it. Let me show you how that works.\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #008000;\"><strong>Case Study:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\nA 54-year-old female patient presented with bilateral hip pain, along with pain in the biceps and triceps of both arms. Her condition was chronic for approximately 3 months.\n\nTCM Diagnosis: Spleen qi deficiency, dampness in the lower jiao, a belt block, and blood stagnation in the Small Intestine and Urinary Bladder channels.\n\nTreatment:\n<ul>\n \t<li>First visit: Some improvement.<\/li>\n \t<li>Second visit: Did well for about 3 days but the pain came back.<\/li>\n \t<li>Third visit: Hip pain was gone, but pain in the arms was not getting better.<\/li>\n \t<li>Fourth visit: I reinforced what had been done previously for her hips, but focused my treatment on her arms. After pulling needles from her arms, using a liniment, and doing some massage, she didn\u2019t get ANY relief.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<strong>By this point, she was feeling a bit discouraged.\u00a0 I was also feeling dismayed for that matter. \u00a0So I decided to try one last treatment option.<\/strong>\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Auriculo-Shoulder-Pain.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Auriculo-Shoulder-Pain.jpg\" alt=\"Auriculo Shoulder Pain\" width=\"454\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Auriculo-Shoulder-Pain.jpg 454w, https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Auriculo-Shoulder-Pain-241x300.jpg 241w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 454px) 100vw, 454px\" \/><\/a>\n\nI pulled out my StimPlus Pro and found the active points on the right ear that corresponded to her arm pain and placed ear seeds on those points. When she lifted her arm, she gave me a shocked look and said: \u201cMy pain is gone.\u201d\u00a0 Then she tried lifting the left arm, but the pain was still there.\n\nI told her not to worry and repeated the procedure on the left ear.\u00a0 When she got off the table, she was so happy, because she was PAIN FREE in BOTH ARMS. I gave her instructions to go home and press on the ear seeds if she felt the pain return, and rescheduled her for the following week.\n\nYou know what happened next, right?\u00a0 <span style=\"background-color: #ffff00;\"><strong>The HUG!<\/strong><\/span>\n<h4><strong>I have experiences like these all the time. <\/strong><\/h4>\nYes, I am a little biased because I helped create the <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.auriculo3d.com\/\">Auriculo 3D program<\/a><\/span>, but it really is one of my favorite acupuncture tools.\n\nIt saves me time, it is convenient and easy to use, and it makes my patients extremely happy.\n\nUsing the StimPlus Pro and Auriculotherapy is so effective!
