						<description><![CDATA[Balding is a very harassing issue for men. Thousands of methods available in the market but only few work. In this article, I would like to share some the new discoveries on helping bald-headed gentlemen with miracle Bianstone.
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/uploads/bald.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/center&gt;
	In the view of holistic therapy, the key of balding is the supply of nutrients and blood to the hair roots. Four important issues are addressed as follows:

1) Regular Combing: To comb 10 repetitions a set, 3 times per day could massage the scalp to enhance the blood supply and nutrition to hair roots. The best comb is made of stone, wood or horns. Do not brush when hair is wet so as not to damage the hair.

2) Regular Shampoo: Shampoo is to remove dust and to stop itch. It is conducive to skin&#039;s &quot;breathing&quot;. To shampoo 4 - 7 times per week is appropriate. It&#039;d better not to use too hot water for washing hair. Shampoo products should use with good quality. Even you have no or little hair, it is advised not to use a strong degreasing shampoo. To start with, rubbing shampoo into bubbles should massage from the back to the front of the head. It is because the hair roots are stronger at the back. After washing the hair, use a thick towel to siphon off the remaining water. The best is to let the hair dry naturally.

3) Balanced diet: Hair loss is usually due to the deficiencies in nutrition. Food rich in iron, calcium, vitamin A and hair tonic foods should be consumed regular. Few examples are milk, fruits, vegetables and high protein content fish, lean meat and poultry.

4) Elimination of oppression: The deeper the mental depression, the faster the hair loss. To maintain adequate sleep and rest, it is easier to relieve tension and stress. It is the law to prevent early hair loss .
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/uploads/bald 2.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/center&gt;
	&lt;a href=&quot; /en/product-details/id/18&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bianstone Comb&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, perhaps it is no stranger for some people, is made up of stone which could emit ultrasonic waves and other forms of energy. The word &quot;Bian&quot; means the therapy conducted by this kind of therapeutic stone. Its function is to waken up the tired body, to activate the lymphatic and blood flow, to &lt;a href=&quot;/en/blog/id/39/&quot;&gt;purify body de-toxic organs like kidneys and livers &lt;/a&gt;and finally enhance the body&#039;s immune system. 

Utilizations of &lt;a href=&quot; /en/product-details/id/18&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bianstone Comb&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;:

Methods: To comb from central to outer borders 10 times a day. Scrapping could be done by the convex side of the comb. If you know where the blockage is, repetitive scrap over this area helps to magnify the therapeutic effects.

Efficacy: To promote head&#039;s circulation. It could also help to prevent and regulate cold, headache, dizziness, hypertension, cerebro-vascular disease, memory loss, Alzheimer&#039;s disease, delay of white hair growing and hair loss.

Precaution: Do not comb when hair is wet. Tapping should be avoided.

Remember: Regular shampoo, balanced diet, elimination of repression helps to get an exciting result of hair re-generation!]]></description>

						<description><![CDATA[Hypersensitive skin, which could be said to be an unstable condition, is a serious alert to skin at any time. Special attention is needed to pay for care.
	&lt;b&gt;So, what is the cause of recurring skin allergies?&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/uploads/skinallergy.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/center&gt;
1) Age: As time goes, the secretion of skin degrades. The skin would become thinner and therefore its function of protective layer would become weaken.

2) Prolonged exposure to sunlight or air polluted environments: Smoke, dust, and ultraviolet (i.e. UVA &amp; UVB) would be harmful to skin. The production of free radicals from these exposures would damage the lipid protective layer of skin.

3) Chemical factors: Poor cosmetic damage or improper medication.

4)Physiological factors: Stress, nervousness and depression would weaken the natural immune system of our body. As a result, the skins&#039; self-repair function would also be medicated. An example is endocrine disorder.

5) The Weather: The skin needs extra effort to adapt the changing humidity and temperature of environment. For example, skin would be vulnerable if it has not been nourished adequately in cold weather. 

6) Additives: Some of the ingredients in skin care products such as preservative, dyes, emulsifiers and fragrances, may make the skin become more sensitive.

In energy medicine, what measures should we take to prevent skin allergies?

	In the holistic approach, skin problems are usually very systematic. &lt;a href=&quot;/blog/id/39/&quot;&gt;Detox&lt;/a&gt;(For more details, please refer to previous topic: Detox in the Body) would be the first step to strengthen the functions of organs. Patients could also choose their own method according their needs:

&lt;a href=&quot;/en/therapy-sixteen-inner/#5&quot;&gt;The Prick Method:&lt;/a&gt; To prick Dazhui (GV14), Ganshu (BL 18), Feishu (BL 13), Shenshu (BL 23), Xuehai (SP 10), Yinlingquan (SP 9), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Zusanli (ST 36), Quchi (LI 11), Neiguan (PC 6), Waiguan (SJ 5), Shenmen (HT 7), Hegu (LI 4), Jiache (ST 6), Dicang (ST 4) etc. 

&lt;a href=&quot;/en/therapy-sixteen-inner/#7&quot;&gt; The Tap Method:&lt;/a&gt; To tap the upper energizer of bladder meridian channel lightly.

&lt;a href=&quot;/en/therapy-sixteen-inner/#8&quot;&gt; The Scrape Method:&lt;/a&gt; To scrape the middle and lower energizer of the back.

						<description><![CDATA[In the daily metabolism of human being, metabolic waste such as carbon dioxide and acidic derivates would be produced. If it is not removed properly and timely, chronic poisoning of accumulated toxins would result in many diseases. In our body, we have four main organs to help us in detoxification. 

1) Liver
	Liver is the largest internal organ in our body, with a primarily metabolic role in removing toxins. In energy medicine, special attention would be paid on the liver of its indispensable relay for treatment. 

Method of solution: Enough rest is a must for liver&#039;s health. According to biologic clock in human body, the liver starts to self-heal between 1am to 3am daily. In that period of time, it works best in repairing body and refilling energy to store.

2) Lung
	Lung is the main organ for gas exchange, with a primarily role in respiration. Because of the dust particles and various toxics emissions in our polluted environment, lung is the most vulnerable to toxins accumulation. The toxins invade the lung through breathing, and damage the whole body through blood circulation. 

Method of solution: Breathing exercises would be an option. Many people thought they breathe everyday but the truth is they do not know how to breath properly with their diaphragm. Diaphragmatic breathing means to use diaphragm to breathe. When we breath in, the air comes into the dummy and make it swell, and the reverse is collapsed dummy when we breath out. Breathe as soon as you can and you will find it is very refresh as much more oxygen can enter your body!

3) Skin
	Skin is the largest external organ in our body, with discharging up to 170 different kinds of waste products daily. In some research, it claimed our skin will remove about 18kg of debris throughout our life. 
	Moreover, the uric acid, urea, salt and other sebaceous gland secretions could be evaporated and distributed off from the skin. It is an important detoxified process in removing metabolic waste through sweating.

Method of solution: Aerobic exercise is the key. Experts suggested to drink diluted salty water before exercises could help to sweat more effectively. An caution is on the prevention of dehydration. 

4) Kidney
	Kidneys are very important, almost key organ in detoxification. Metabolic wastes in blood circulation would be filtered in nephrons. Kidney is commonly lost its filtering ability by natural salt (sea salt, Himalayan salt, Celtic salt). It is due to the excessive amounts of sodium (from table salt) and fat in the diet causing cholesterol plaques to clog the filtering system.

Method of solution: Water, water and water! Drinking enough water is a key to maintain a diluted body fluid which allow kidney to filter properly.

&lt;b&gt;How Bianstone can HELP to DETOX?&lt;/b&gt;

The method of &lt;a href=&quot; /en/therapy-sixteen-inner/#8&quot;&gt;scrapping&lt;/a&gt; is one of the most powerful method to remove toxins inside the body.  &lt;a href=&quot; /en/product-details/id/2&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt; Bianstone Scraper&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is made of Sibin pumice which can be used in &lt;a href=&quot; /en/therapy-sixteen/&quot;&gt; Sixteen Bianstone Therapeutics&lt;/a&gt;. 
&lt;/br&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/uploads/bianstone scrapper.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
The method of usage:&lt;/br&gt;
1) The Head of board: To scratch the neck, armpits, palms etc.&lt;/br&gt;
2) The blunt concave side: To shave the neck, head and limbs etc.&lt;/br&gt;
3) The arched back, To scrape the back, chest, abdomen, limbs, head etc.&lt;/br&gt;
4) The blunt end: To apply acupressure by tap method or stroke along the meridians&lt;/br&gt;
5) The sharp end: To stimulate the acupuncture points through prick method&lt;/br&gt;
6) The concave end: To scrape fingers, toes, ears and other parts&lt;/br&gt;
7) The holes can be worn rope&lt;/br&gt;
8) The smooth surface: To apply warm, cool and sense method based on different needs.&lt;/br&gt;

&lt;b&gt;The benefit of using scarping therapy :&lt;/b&gt;

1) To activate cells and promote blood circulation
	With Bianstone&#039;s scrapping, the sensory nerve is stimulated and caused the alternate constriction and dilation of blood vessels through the reflex action of vasomotor nerves. The promote metabolic activities can help to oxygenate the body cells and thus strengthen the immune system. It is especially useful for inflammation, swelling and other disorders of blood arising from various disease.

2) To strengthen the role of absorption
	With Bianstone scrapping, the nutrients and oxygen supply to body cells are improved and thus the absorption capacity increased. The result is the better absorption of pathological products like edema, swelling. It can also speed up the absorption of inflammation, subcutaneous bleeding, cerebral hemorrhage etc.

3) To mediate the function of various endocrine
When the endocrine is in dysfunction, the Bianstone scrapping can play the role of mediation. E.g. Scrapping can improve the digestive secretion. It can also add a significant effects on adrenals, ovaries, thyroids, pancreas and other endocrine gland secretions in regulation.

4) To enhance immune function
To scrap the body regular can help to maintain health through maintaining strong body physiological functions, improving body&#039;s immune functions and get rid of rick, illness and diseases.

5) To take the role of skin care
Scrapping the face can promote beauty. It is a wonder that the ultrasonic effects of Bianstone could help to prevent skin aging. Long-term use of Bianstone scrapping can help in skin metabolism and strengthen facial skin cells through enhancing adequate nutrition and oxygen supplies. Women can also use scrapping to eliminate the stretch marks after production. Bianstone scrapping can also help to eliminate facial wrinkles, acne, chlosama, ruddy complexion and make the skin look shiny and more compact.

						<title>Blog: Bianstone in Energy Medicine</title>
						<pubDate>Thu, 18 Nov 2010 06:44:15 +0800</pubDate>
						<link>/en/blog/id/38/</link>
						<description><![CDATA[Everything in the universe is energy! The concept of energy is established by Quantum Physics. Albert Einstein stated that &quot;E= MC&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&quot;, where E implies energy, M and C stand for mass and velocity of light respectively. An important message derived from this famous law is that everything is a form of Energy. Objects at rest have inherent energy. Everything we see including ourselves are all made up of Energy, in one form or another.

	History itself tells the stories. Most traditional cultures identify some forms of basic life force supporting our bodies and providing our activities of daily livings (ADLs). Our ancestors described these kind of Energy in different terms. In China, it is called &quot;Chi&quot;; in India and the traditional Yoga, &quot;Prana&quot;; in the mysterious philosophy of Judaism, &quot;Yesod&quot;; in Sufis, &quot;baraka&quot;; in Lakotas, &quot;wakan&quot;; in Iroquois, &quot;orenda&quot;; in Ituri Pygmies, &quot;megbe&quot; and the traditional Christianity, &quot;Holy Spirit&quot;.  It is commonly agreed that the basic life force, though in different terms, is the basis of constructing ones in physical, mental and spiritual health. 

	Energy medicine is a form of therapy in which the energy in the universe is used to facilitate the healing process of one&#039;s body to promote health and wellness. Energy medicine consists of a wide spectrum of therapeutic modalities, each of which has its own therapeutic process, frequency of healing and energetic waveband.

	In ancient China, five traditional therapies approaches include Bianstone, acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal medicine and qigong. Most of therapies include certain kind of energetic healing mechanisms. Among these approaches, Bianstone is listed as the first and top priorities in promoting human&#039;s health. This is because Bianstone is convenient to use, non-invasive and easily applicable. Different from herbal medicine and acupuncture which need to collect suitable materials (e.g. herbs and needles) before treatments, Bianstone can apply on human bodies easily with only a little but powerful stone no matter where you are. 

	Bianstone is energetic. Scientific literatures proved it has high density of energy in terms of infra-red and ultrasonic waves. A highlight here is its property of emitting infra-red electromagnetic waves. An research found that Bianstone could emit infra-red with 9 -15 ɥm wavelength. Its wavelength was equal to the therapeutic electromagnetic wave emitted by Qigong. It is incredible! Further researches showed the human bodies responded well in healing process within these range of wavelength. Soft tissue was speeded up in recovery. Micro-circulation was facilitated through opening up of collateral meridians (energy channels). 
&lt;/br&gt;
&lt;center &gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/uploads/Bianstone temp2.gif&quot;&gt;   &lt;img src=&quot;/uploads/Bianstone temp.gif&quot;&gt;&lt;/center&gt;
&lt;b&gt; Note: The temperature of human body before (left) and after (right) the induction by Bianstone. The significant increase in temperature proved Bianstone has emitted infra-red electromagnetic waves. &lt;/b&gt;

&lt;/br&gt;
	Our bodies know the best in healing ourselves. The Bianstone would facilitate the healing process through different ways. An example is visualization. Bianstone helps to revoke the inner wisdom to increase the sense of self-awareness. The one would aware the flow of energy inside the body. It is a kind of balancing body&#039;s energies through refilling from and clearing to the universe. Bianstone plays an important role in energy exchange and make the one more grounded. It helps the one to heal oneself and the loved ones.]]></description>

						<title>Blog: Bianstone Therapeutics for Back and Neck Pain</title>
						<pubDate>Thu, 11 Nov 2010 06:54:46 +0800</pubDate>
						<link>/en/blog/id/37/</link>
						<description><![CDATA[In this blog, I would further elaborate how to apply &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/en/therapy-sixteen/&quot;&gt;Bianstone in therapies&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and what is the mechanism behind in giving a beneficial effect on people with back and neck pain. If you want to know more about &lt;a href=&quot;/en/blog/id/36/&quot;&gt;who needs Bianstone&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;/en/blog/id/35/&quot;&gt;what the beneficial effects of Bianstone are&lt;/a&gt;. Please feel free to read the previous blogs for details.
&lt;/br&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/uploads/backache.jpg&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; style=&quot;height=800px&quot; width=&quot;240px margin-left:50px;&quot;/&gt;Before performing Bianstone Therapeutics, it is important to understand the causes of pain in different levels. Is it a physical pain? or is it an emotional pain? or even is it a spiritual pain? Physical pain is specially addressed in this blog.

Physical back and neck pain usually has a mechanical origin. In western physical evaluation, the emphasis would be on the spinal alignment and movement. It is very interesting that in oriental evaluation (Traditional Chinese Medicine, TCM), much more emphasis would be focus on the relative functional activities of five elements (i.e. wood, fire, sand, gold and water). No matter what kind of therapeutic dialogistic approach found the lesion site, Bianstone can help to relieve the soft tissues problems through &lt;a href=&quot;/en/therapy-sixteen/&quot;&gt; Sixteen Bianstone Therapeutics&lt;sup&gt;TM&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. A general protocol usually includes overall massage by roll or spin method, followed by a series of Bianstone Therapeutics based on individual needs. A highlight is the &lt;a href=&quot; /en/therapy-sixteen-inner/#8&quot;&gt;scrape method &lt;/a&gt;. It can help to release the specific blockage locally. In some scientific research, the input signal from scrapping can promote some enzymes secretions which in turn to promote the healing process. 

The unique physical properties of &lt;a href=&quot;/en/exploration-scientific/&quot;&gt;remote infrared sensing and high frequencies of ultrasonic waves &lt;/a&gt;can give the utmost therapeutic effect to maximize the healing potentials. The healing power of Bianstone is not mysterious. People with back and neck pain can be benefit from Bian Stone Therapy through various mechanisms.

&lt;b&gt;First&lt;/b&gt;, the massage effect of its dense crystallized structure could help to relieve muscle spasm and to promote lymphatic drainage.

&lt;b&gt;Second&lt;/b&gt;, the infrared electromagnetic waves from Bianstone can have a sustained thermal effect on human body which is similar to the waves produced in Qi-gong in some scientific researches. 

&lt;b&gt;Third&lt;/b&gt;, the ranges of ultrasonic waves&#039; frequency would definitely be therapeutic. It can promote soft tissue healing through soften the adhesive tissue. Thus, the blood can refill in the injured body parts to promote healing process. 

&lt;b&gt;Fourth&lt;/b&gt;, according to pain-gate theory, the pain can be inhibited by proprioceptive input of ultrasonic wave to afferent motor neurons. The pain channel would be closed and therefore the profounding analgesia is a then a result!]]></description>

						<title>Blog: The Health Benefit of the Bianstone</title>
						<pubDate>Thu, 04 Nov 2010 03:36:26 +0800</pubDate>
						<link>/en/blog/id/35/</link>
						<description><![CDATA[Through advancement of modern medicine, we are able to lengthen the life span of the general population. However, quality of life is lowered and our health is insidiously declining. According to data gathered within the United States healthcare system, more people are spending money to acquire naturopathic medicine compared to traditional medical care, suggesting more people have turned to naturalistic healing as a means for a healthier lifestyle. As organic products are becoming the food of choice, natural materials have become the trend in home improvement; inevitably naturopathic medicine has become the healthcare of choice. 

&lt;br&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/uploads/stone river.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
	In Eastern Medicine, acupuncture has become a world renowned way of healing; recently, a procedure that&rsquo;s been considered as one of the &lt;b&gt;Greatest Five Medical Practices&lt;/b&gt;, another being acupuncture, has reappeared in the world. That is the healing power of the &lt;b&gt;Bianstone&lt;/b&gt;.

	The power encased in these uniquely formed natural stones awakens the tired bodies of people today. It reactivates the lymphatic and hematologic systems. While detoxifying the liver, kidneys and other essential organs, to eliminate excess poison, it also assists in fat burning, improves skin condition, and strengthens the body&rsquo;s immune system. This is the amazing healing power of the Bianstone!

	As early as the Paleolithic age, even though our ancestors had little knowledge of medicine and pharmacology, whenever illness strikes, they learned to use heated stones from the bonfire to rub or place over their ailing body part. Gradually they noticed, some special stones have a particular effect on pain, and thus founded one of the essence of the Traditional Chinese Medicine &ndash; BianStone. 
To people today, stone therapy is an ancient yet novel healthcare topic. Stone therapy is ancient because of its long history, yet young because of its relevance to modern science. &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/en/therapy/&quot;&gt;Bianstone Therapeutics&lt;sup&gt;TM&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&#039; accuracy and healing effect has progressed so rapidly, entering a complete new realm. 

	Bianstone Therapeutics&lt;sup&gt;TM&lt;/sup&gt; is not just a temporary trend. Because not only it has a solid foundation in Chinese medicine, it also completes people&rsquo;s need for a healthier life style.

	Comparing to western medicine and pharmacology, Bianstone Therapeutics follows the Chinese medicine belief that &ldquo;conditioning is the essence&rdquo;, thus it proves to be safer. It has no toxicity or other adverse side effects. (For more information, please visit &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/en/product-safety/&quot;&gt;&quot;Safety Test of Bianstone Products&quot;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;) It is suitable for people of different age, with different health status. With superior efficacy, it is particularly effective as a beauty enhancing, dieting agent; it works to improve circulation, the results are undeniable.  

&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Specific Health Benefit of the Bianstone&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;/uploads/Stone between eyeblows.jpg&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; style=&quot;margin-right:30px;&quot;/&gt;
1.	&lt;b&gt;Used for Massage Therapy&lt;/b&gt; &ndash; As ultrasonic waves produce a certain pressure on the cells in the body, causing the cells to react, by doing so, changing the status of the mutated cells, resulting in a healing effect.

2.	&lt;b&gt;Heat Effect&lt;/b&gt; - As the body absorbs the energy from the ultrasonic waves, circulation within the skin is increased, leading to heat effects within tissues. This heat results in analgesic effects, resolving muscle spasm, improving tissue micro-circulation status, etc.

3.	&lt;b&gt;Biological effects&lt;/b&gt; - As the ultrasonic waves effect bodily chemical or hormonal processes, improve the efficacy of enzymes, thus strengthen the body&rsquo;s ability to regenerate, and rehabilitate.

4.	&lt;b&gt;Effects on the Nervous system&lt;/b&gt; &ndash; The nervous system is particularly sensitive to ultrasonic waves, a small dosage of ultrasonic waves has a suppressive effect on the nervous system, causing nerve conductions to slow down, thus leading to a profound analgesia. 

5.	&lt;b&gt;Other effects&lt;/b&gt; &ndash; The ultrasonic waves increase gastric motility, causing an increase production of gastrin. They also cause coronary artery dilatation, improving blood supply to the myocardium; renal artery dilatation, increasing blood flow to the kidneys.]]></description>

						<title>Blog: Origins of Bianstone</title>
						<pubDate>Wed, 20 Oct 2010 04:37:35 +0800</pubDate>
						<link>/en/blog/id/34/</link>
						<description><![CDATA[Ancient Bianstone Therapy is a kind of non-medical therapy in ancient China. It is one of five therapies&#039; approaches in Traditional Chinese Medicine and includes two manipulations methods, i.e. stone needling and stone pressing. 

	Ancient Bianstone Therapy was firstly emerged in the Stone Age. Thousands of years ago, our progenitor starts to use stone-made tools to solve their daily problems. They found that scare stone could eliminate their diseases through manual manipulations. In archaeological excavation, many stone relics are unearthed in areas of Shangdong (Eastern Part of ancient China) in which stones were over 10 thousand years. These stones are in sickle shaped as shown below. It is the bianstone discovered in 1984. The frontal part is cone in shape which is used for the &lt;a href=&quot;/en/therapy-sixteen-inner/#5&quot;&gt;prick method&lt;/a&gt;. While the rear part&#039;s shape is round, it is made for &lt;a href=&quot;/en/therapy-sixteen-inner/#8&quot;&gt;scrapping&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;/en/therapy-sixteen-inner/#7&quot;&gt;tapping&lt;/a&gt;. Now, we did try to &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/en/product-details/id/16&quot;&gt; copy the old ancient bianstone stickle&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. The feedback of using this tool is very amazingly positive. The design shows the ancient intelligence of our forefather in making tools to facilitate their activities of daily living.
&lt;/br&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.therapeuticstone.com/uploads/ancient bianstone.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
	The earliest ancient Bianstone Therapy was described in the silk book in Mawandui in Han Dynasty (206 B.C. - 220 A.D.). The literature told us that Bianstone was used in a wide spectrum of areas from manual massage to surgery. It was considered that Bianstone is a knife-like medical instrument and was used primarily for discharge of pus or blood-letting in antiquity. The advance of ancient medical technology was suddenly lost since Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220 A.D.) for over 2000 years.

	&lt;b&gt;Why did the Bianstone disappear?&lt;/b&gt;
                 Is it due to the selection of acupuncture? It&#039;s a common misconception that acupuncture was originated from Bianstone. Some archaeologists thought the stone needle was replaced by steel one. However, it is well-documented that Bianstone and acupuncture was used as a complementary therapies at that period of time. This showed Bianstone had a unique therapeutic effect which could not be eliminated. The most suitable suggestion was from the scholar Fu Qian in East Han Dynasty (25-220 A.D.). He proposed the lost of valuable Bianstone was due to the lack of suitable rock materials for making therapeutic tools. 

	As a conclusion, there is a need to re-discover this precious stone therapy. Thanks to scientific research and petrophysical test of stones, a type of stone called Sibin pumice dating from the ancient times was found suitable for making Bianstone tools. The place of discovery correspond with where literatures described. Therefore, we have evidence to trust the re-discovery of Bianstone is a beginning for us to find back the ancient healing power.]]></description>

						<description><![CDATA[&lt;b&gt;Unique therapeutic tool&lt;/b&gt;
          Bianstone is specifically a medical and unique therapeutic tool. The word &ldquo;Bian&rdquo; is generally cited as &ldquo;needle stone&rdquo; in numerous legends. However, It&#039;s a common misconception that acupuncture was originated from Bianstone. According to the first ancient Chinese medical book, the Yellow Emperors Classics of Internal Medicine (Nei Jing), exactly 4700 B.C, it introduced the principle of Bianstone Therapeutics&lt;sup&gt;TM&lt;/sup&gt; and described the stone (and its therapy) as &quot;the head of Chinese Medicals&quot;. Bianstone Therapeutics&lt;sup&gt;TM&lt;/sup&gt; plays an important individual role in forming the complete whole system in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

&lt;b&gt;New Stone Age&lt;/b&gt;
          &lt;img src=&quot;/uploads/ancient bianstone therapy.jpg&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; style=&quot;height=&quot;100px&quot; width=&quot;300px margin-left:30px;&quot;/&gt;Ancient Bianstone therapy was firstly emerged in the New Stone Age. Legendary told us that the stone is formed in the Nature through some accidental celestial bodies&rsquo; collision. Ancestors discovered this scarce stone can eliminate their diseases through manual manipulations. Intelligence collects from generation to generation and gradually forms this unique Bianstone TherapeuticsTM. Nevertheless it is lost since Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220 A.D.) for over 2000 years since the lack of suitable rock materials for making therapeutic tools.

&lt;b&gt;East-Meet-West&lt;/b&gt;
          It&rsquo;s filled with wonder when the East meets the West. Modern petrological analytical techniques helps Bianstone to recur. Through the examination of over 100 different kinds of stones, Sibin Stone is found to be an ideal raw material in making Bianstone. 
Modern science explores the mystery of why Bianstone has its unique therapeutic effects. Bianstone is found to be able to emit ultrasound and infrared electromagnetic waves. Ultrasound in the frequency of 3708 pulses on average were produced when human body is pushed or scraped by Sibin Stone whereas infrared electromagnetic waves could be emitted in the 8-14&micro;m spectrum zone. The unique micrometric limestone of its nature accounts for its great emission power and high thermal capacity. There is no toxins or poisons element found in the Bianstone. Hence, the scientific examination provides a strong evidence-based support of its unique therapeutic effects as a medical tool.

&lt;b&gt;Health is Forever&lt;/b&gt;
           Bianstone can promote health. Ultrasound and infrared electromagnetic waves can improve body circulations, reduce pain and inflammation. In the eastern naturopathy perspective, Bianstone can even regulate the Qi and opening up the energy channels and collaterals, dispelling rheumatism, clearing away from the heat and thus tranquilizing the mind.
           Bianstone is the gift from the Nature and it is an alternative to the sole use of medication for the treatment of illness and diseases as a green medicine.]]></description>
