In some cases, to enhance the expected effect, the master can increase irritation by current, cranking, inserted needle. Rotating clockwise is necessary to stimulate the work of the organ. To oppress the work of any organ, apply the rotation of the needle counter-clockwise.
The inserted needle in the ear is usually left for about 8 minutes. If the patient is very sensitive, the needle retention time is shortened. For a full course of therapy, 5 procedures are sufficient, breaks between them should be 2 days. In the ear, it is customary to administer 3 to 6 needles.
