what i´m looking for isn´t a laser device but a small circuit that generated electrical impulses (electronic simulator) i mean 1hz to 100hz with not lower 40ma 10v that throw needles stimulated some points in our body
For this application you can use a small circuit fed of 9V battery and based on 555 timer IC (info here: **broken link removed**). You can not only adjust desired frequency but also the length of a pulse (duty ratio) and on top of that the 555 IC is capable of deliver sink/source currents of up to 100mA ..
What's the difference between electroacupuncture and traditional acupuncture?
Electroacupuncture is quite similar to traditional acupuncture in that the same points are stimulated during treatment. As with traditional acupuncture, needles are inserted on specific points along the body. The needles are then attached to a device that generates continuous electric pulses using small clips. These devices are used to adjust the frequency and intensity of the impulse being delivered, depending on the condition being treated. Electroacupuncture uses two needles at time so that the impulses can pass from one needle to the other. Several pairs of needles can be stimulated simultaneously, usually for no more than 30 minutes at a time.
One advantage of electroacupuncture is that a practitioner does not have to be as precise with the insertion of needles. This is because the current delivered through the needle stimulates a larger area than the needle itself. Another advantage is that electroacupuncture can be employed without using needles. A similar technique called transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, or TENS, uses electrodes that are taped to the surface of the skin instead of being inserted. The advantage of this procedure is that it can be used by people who have a fear of needles or a condition that prohibits them from being needled.
