What is Acugems Facial Rejuve?

Acugems is an innovative, and highly effective, method for facial and whole-body rejuvenation

that uses a synergistic combination of healing gemstones, microcurrent stimulation and various

colors of visible light, in conjunction with special skin care products. These are all aspects of

what is often called “vibrational healing”. The intention of all of these factors is to support the

client in revealing her true beauty by opening and harmonizing her heart center. This, in

combination with the local lifting, toning and youthing effects on the skin and dermis, provides

masterful and gratifying results.

The word “vibrational” refers to oscillating, or pulsating energy fields. Vibrational energy makes

up everything in the Universe that is seen and unseen. Scientists are able to measure a wide

range of vibrational energies, from extremely low frequencies of electricity to ionizing gamma

rays, as shown in this diagram:

As you can see, electrical microcurrents are usually applied in the extremely low frequency range

(all the way to the left on this chart), while colors of visible light are in the extremely high

frequency range (billions of cycles per second). In fact, visible light is the highest form of

measurable frequency that is safe to apply to the human body for long term application.

This “high-low” combination of microcurrent and light has been proven to be highly effective for

a wide range of acupuncture or related health care and pain relief applications, working on both

the Root and Branch (symptomatic) levels.

So where do gems fit in? The frequencies emitted by gems, especially when energized with

microcurrent and light, fall all over the electro-magnetic spectrum. Gems and minerals have

been used since ancient times for healing purposes ranging from those that address gross

physical symptoms (pain relief, healing acceleration, digestive upsets, etc) to highly refined

spiritual applications (opening chakras, promoting expanded consciousness, clarifying

meditation). This next diagram shows the relationship between microcurrent, light and gems on

the electro-magnetic spectrum:

As stated above, microcurrent falls in the very low end of the spectrum, targeting physical lifting,

toning and regeneration of skin, fascia, muscle and collagen. Visible light falls in the highest safe

band of the spectrum, and helps switch on many healing, energy-releasing, hormonal and

energy-balancing effects on the cellular and energetic levels. This is the factor that helps restore

the face to youthful glow and coloration. All of these energies interface with what modern

researchers now call the “living matrix” – the incredibly sophisticated network of life functions

and communications that constantly works to keep us healthy and balanced. This matrix

includes the neuro-peptides, or “molecules of emotion” written about by Dr. Candace Pert in her

landmark book by that name.

Gems, depending on which ones are selected for treatment, can amplify and enhance treatment

on all levels. By the way, the color bands shown for gems in this diagram are for example only,

and do not necessarily indicate any specific gem - frequency correlations. The arrow on the right

end of the diagram indicates that the frequencies of gems can be so high as to literally be “off

the chart” of what can be measured by modern scientific tools.

Our research over the last 8 years has confirmed that the healing power of gems is greatly

enhanced and released when certain gems are stimulated with microcurrent and color light.

Some of the gems we use are listed below.

There have been many confirmations of this phenomenon. For example, Maureena B., a

California acupuncturist, has used previous systems of microcurrent facial rejuvenation for years.

After adding the Acugems to her microcurrent facial system, she reported that she and her

patients could immediately feel a distinct difference. The difference has been both in the

reported energetic sensations as well as in significantly improved results with facial rejuvenation.

Another new Acugems user, Deb M. of Phoenix, Arizona reported: “… using Acugems totally

enhanced my results over what I was doing before – I see a dramatic difference. I have one

client who was scheduled for a surgical face lift. After one Acugems treatment she cancelled the

surgery as she didn’t feel she needed it anymore. I have now raised my fees for facial

rejuvenation and my clients are happy to pay it.”

Acugems Used

Here are the major gemstones used for the basic Acugems procedure, and some of their healing

and regenerating properties:

Green Tourmaline: Dispels fear, negativity and grief, calms nerves, improves concentration

and expressing, helps heal genetic disorders, beneficial for cancer and hormonal imbalances,

raises personal vibration and charisma, improves sleep. Green Tourmaline also helps open the

heart chakra, boosts the immune system and helps eliminate inner conflicts, especially those with

internalized male energy.

Pink Tourmaline: In addition to above listed general effects for Tourmaline also eliminates

guilt, improves sense of humor, helps with integration of self, improves self-worth and heals the

nervous system.

Yellow Citrine: Helps heal heart, kidneys and liver, protects from environmental toxins, brings

issues of the heart and solar plexus to the surface for clearing, helps digestion.

Blue London Topaz: Penetrates subconscious blockages, benefits throat chakra, mental and

spiritual cleanser, mood booster, inflammations, thought form amplifier.

Black Star Sapphire: Spiritual inspiration, healthy regulation of thoughts and emotions, helps

eliminate negativity, strengthens kidneys, heart, nervous system, hair, eyes and nails.

Acugems and Oriental Medicine

There are two beneficial aspects to Acugems treatment. One is a "root" harmonizing treatment

that is custom designed to address the issues of the patient/client. The root treatment regulates

the flow of energy (qi) and removes blockages in the meridians (channels of qi and blood) to

improve overall health and restore balance to the body. This constitutional treatment addresses

underlying causes, like digestive problems, hormonal imbalance and emotional stress, which

become reflected in the face through dark circles, dry or lusterless skin, sagging skin, drooping

eyelids, blemishes and excessive wrinkling. In Oriental Medicine, this connection between our

skin and internal organs is referred to as the viscero-cutaneous reflex.

The other is a local treatment, which directly affects facial appearance. Since many of the

meridians begin or end on the face, there is an increase in circulation of blood, lymph, qi and

facial muscle renewal to the face that aids in moistening and creating a radiant color and glow to

the skin.

Most cosmetic treatments use very strong and invasive forms of stimulation that primarily act

locally on the face--dermabrasion, peels, Botox, surgery, infra-red, intense milliamp current--all

with various results.

Acugems Facial RejuveTM incorporates the healing properties of gemstones such as diamonds,

emeralds, sapphires and tourmaline into the healing protocol of each patient. By using specific

acupuncture points on the face, neck,and body, muscles are toned and strengthened to lift the

face, collagen and elastin production increases and reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and increased

blood circulation and lymph clearing improves skin texture, eliminates puffiness and diminishes

blemishes.

Additionally, when stimulating the acupuncture meridian system through the facial acu-points,

the viscero-cutaneous reflex is also stimulated. This has a powerful effect on the homeostatic

nature of the nervous, circulatory and hormonal systems, reducing stress, pain, menstrual

symptoms, digestive irregularities, insomnia, fatigue and mood imbalances.

The beauty of using Acugems Facial RejuveTM is truly holistic: 'Inner Balance/Outer Beauty'.

Western point of view on aging has to do with our body processes slowing down, dead cells

accumulate on the surface of the skin and become dry. The result is dull-looking skin that

wrinkles more easily.

Also, the fat pad beneath the skin that shapes our face diminishes, along with the production of

the elastin and collagen that plump up and anchor the skin to it. Gravity pulls the skin downward.

The results are lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, drooping eyelids and jowls.

The dual anti-aging procedure offered by Acugems Facial RejuveTM gently nudges the body's

natural systems to assume their more youthful pace. As a result, circulation improves and

collagen and elastin production increase. Cell replacement is more rapid. Sagging muscles are

retrained to lift and tighten. The result is a natural, more youthful-looking appearance.

Acugems Facial RejuveTM anti-aging procedure melds the latest in advanced medical technology

with the body's innate ability to restore a more youthful appearance. The natural beauty lying

dormant beneath the surface of your skin is revealed.
