ABOUT THE HUMAN BODY
Asian Medical Principles:
For many centuries, asian medical practices were a mystery in the west. This is because of the fundamental difference in the way asian doctors look at and treat the body.
The theory of Yin and Yang features significantly in oriental medicine. It was developed a few hundred years B.C. It explains many forces in the universe but in particular, the organic structure, physiological functions and pathological changes of the human body.
Ch'i or Qi (Vital Energy) is seen as the root of all human activities, the vital energy that must be present if the human body is to function properly. Ch'i extends from all organs and nerve ends and is transported to pertaining body surface points which are the associated acupuncture points. The acupuncture points may be stimulated to assist the flow of Ch'i and blood.
In asian medicine, doctors see illness, pain, and other incapacity as signs of overall imbalance in the body, not simply one organ, muscle or limb. They look for weaknesses and blockages in Ch'i energy. Ch'i flows along Meridians, or pathways throughout the body, establishing balances of energy and maintaining the body's ability to function. When it is blocked or diverted, doctors seek to relieve the blockage as a means of creating a balance throughout the body and thus restore the body's own ability to heal itself. Asian doctors achieve this through the use of several techniques.
In western medicine, doctors treat symptoms of distress as isolated incidents based on localized problems. A diseased organ or localized musculoskeletal pain is treated on the localized level, with little thought given to general health and balance in the body's systems.
Your Spine Is Your Core
Simply put, your spine is the core of your whole body. It's tied into every system, organ and part of you. It supports your weight, allows you to stand erect, flexes and twists to allow you to move in every conceivable way, houses and protects your nervous system connecting every other part of you to your brain, and in the Eastern medical tradition is like a "super highway" for your Ch'i. When your spine is healthy and strong, you are more flexible, you rest better, you work better, and you play better. In short, you feel better. But with the rigors of everyday's life, as well as the ageing process, not to mention the occasional traumatic injuries we all suffer, weakness and damage are often the norm these days.
Two of the most significant of these conditions are listed below:
"Subluxation"
Subluxation is a chiropractic term used to describe a "misalignment of the spine". Since the spine is made up of 33 vertebrae, a misalignment refers to any one of these vertebrae being out of place. Any number of factors can cause a subluxation to occur, including physical trauma, mental or emotional stress, overworked muscles, and more. Any misalignmentt of this type can cause pain, loss of flexibility, physical weakness, and often leads to other muscular problems and even nerve conditions such as Sciatica. Eastern medical experts believe that subluxations lead to the blockage of Ch'i, which can lead to weakness in your immune system, and severe illness.
The Ageing Process:
As your body ages, your bones tend to become more brittle less sturdy, less able to absorb shock, muscles lose their elasticity, and you become more susceptible to weakness and disease. Your spine takes on all of these characteristics and as such needs vigilant care and attention to avoid long term damage and the resulting blockage of Ch'i.
These principles have been practiced for literally thousands of years and have assisted countless generations of people to enjoy better health and increased longevity. The people who lived in this early period had none of the medical benefits of modern western civilization. The principles mentioned above played a major role in the development of the MIGUN system.

MIGUN THERAPEUTIC REHABILITATION MEDICAL INSTRUMENT HY-7000
represent the fusion of Asian and Western Medical techniques. Combining the effects of Acupressure, Acupuncture, Heat Therapy (Thermotherapy or Moxibustion), Chiropractic and Massage, MIGUN BED is the ONLY product that summarize all these techniques in ONE environment, combining effortless ease of use with these tried and proven techniques to provide you with health, relaxation, and balance.
ACUPRESSURE Inspired
Hand and finger pressure applied to specific "pressure points" temporarily block Ch'i,
restoring proper pathways and flushing out toxins that have built up during the imbalance. MIGUN BED uses the body's own weight to achieve this same effect.
ACUPUNCTURE Inspired
MIGUN uses a unique combination of helium gas bulbs and jade massage heads to create
infrared rays that stimulate Acupressure points 7 centimeters deep in tissues.
Heat Therapy (Moxibustion)
The moxibustion form of healing is to burn a herb directly above, and from, acupuncture points. The use of heat to stiumulate blood flow and tissue response, also encourages overall muscle relaxation, relieves pain, and releases pollutants trapped in the musculature.
Chiropractic Inspired
The simple principle that the body can heal itself when its systems are properly aligned and allowed to operate without impediment, signified by the health and proper alignment of the spine as the core of the entire body.
Massage Inspired
The simple, ancient practice of muscle manipulation as a means of promoting proper blood flow, muscle relaxation and flexibility. Massage is well known by all medical practitioners to ease chronic muscle pain, speed recovery from injuries, improve rest, and concentration, and promote a general sense of well-being.
MIGUN system offers the only complex health alternative for your body and life.
