Evaluation of Reflexology by "BIOCERAMIC Resonance" Operation producing Weak Force Field during Simultaneous Acupoint Stimulation of Urinary Bladder Point on Subject's Ear Resulting in Electric Current Change on Urinary Bladder reflex Point on Subject's Hands, and Related New Research Finding
Preliminary EvidenceIn Plain Language: reflexology, explained
It was postulated in our previous publications that the meridian channels as conceived in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) are various standing waves arising from harmonic rhythmic sound frequencies originating from the human heart beat. BIOCERAMIC is an artificial material able to produce a weak force field causing different biophysical and systemic health benefits, with the key characteristics of hydrogen bonds weakening and microcirculation enhancement. Since discovering that the effects of a BIOCERAMIC field can be transmitted via sound waves propagation, we then also developed a BIOCERAMIC Resonance device to produce weak force field throughout the body, and achieve resonance with the body's meridian channels to reinforce microcirculation. Since our previous research proved BIOCERAMIC can produces changes in ectodermal current levels, the present evaluation on reflexology is done by the application of Electric Current Detection (ECD) to the palmar surface of the hands matching correlative organs and glands loci to reflex points according to standard reflexology. The procedure will compare changes in the electrical current observed before and after a session of BIOCERAMIC Resonance treatment on the soles of the subjects' feet. We also conducted a procedure using corona discharge (Kirlian) photography of the hands to examine whether the coronal intensities could be affected by application of the BIOCERAMIC patch. Intensities are shown on the screen of a computer using special software that categorizes intensities into five zones. Under the continuous treatment of BIOCERAMIC Resonance on soles of the feet and simultaneous stimulation on the specific point on the surface of the ear representing the urinary bladder. The electrical current (Aji ampere) on the areas in the hands are decreased from the beginning of the experiment, but only the specific area on the surface of the ear representing the urinary bladder was exhibited increased of the electrical current
Key Findings: what this pilot study found
- ✓BIOCERAMIC materials produce weak force fields that enhance microcirculation and weaken hydrogen bonds in the body.
- ✓The researchers developed a BIOCERAMIC Resonance device designed to create resonance with the body's meridian channels to reinforce microcirculation.
- ✓BIOCERAMIC fields can transmit their effects through sound wave propagation throughout the body.
What This Means for You
While this study offers an interesting approach to measuring reflexology's effects, the preliminary nature of the research and lack of clear participant numbers mean more rigorous testing is needed before drawing firm conclusions about whether BIOCERAMIC reflexology treatment works.
What This Means for Practitioners
This research suggests a potential method for objectively measuring reflexology's physiological effects using electrical current detection, which could help validate your practice, though further validation studies are needed.

How strong is this evidence?
This is a pilot study and we rate its evidence preliminary. It was published in Acupuncture & electro-therapeutics research. Reflexology is a complementary therapy, not a replacement for medical treatment.
