Close-Proximity Electrode Placement for Pain Relief

​

When copper and silver electrodes are placed closely together on a meridian, the electrical resistance between them is reduced. This reduced resistance produces a denser, more concentrated electrical field. In physics, this is known as the “concentration of electric potential.” One can combine this approach with the All-Meridian protocol.

 

Why It Matters

• A stronger localized electrical field improves stimulation of injured or diseased cells.

• This results in more rapid pain relief and enhanced local tissue healing.

• Electrodes applied to the body remain secure longer, reducing disruption from hand washing or daily movement.

 

Clinical Application

1. Identify the Pain Site: Locate the area of pain and determine which meridian(s) pass through it using a meridian chart.

2. Electrode Placement:​

   • Distance between electrodes: 1–2 inches on either side of the pain site.

3. Polarity Is Critical: Always align electrodes with the directional flow of Qi in the meridian:

   • Qi flows from Yin Jing-Well (silver) toward Yang Jing-Well (copper).

   • Electron flow is opposite but synergistic with therapeutic Qi influence.

4. Duration: Electrodes may be left in place for extended periods (several days), providing ongoing electrical field stimulation. If pain persists, repeat the protocol. Healing injured cells and tissues can require time and constinued treatment.

 

Benefits

• Simple and effective for localized pain anywhere in the body

• Stronger, denser field = greater therapeutic effect

• Reduces electrode loss from washing, movement, or friction on the hands

• Can be applied on back, legs, arms, or joints where sustained relief is needed

 

Clinical Note

This method is particularly effective for musculoskeletal pain, localized inflammation, or post-injury recovery.

For systemic conditions (e.g., withdrawal, autoimmune disease), the All-Meridian Method remains essential.
