If your skin is particularly dry, its resistance to electrical signals increases, resulting in lower conductivity. This can prevent the Vitastiq from completing the electrical circuit effectively. As a result, you might notice that the Vitastiq pen seems to lose contact, indicated by an unstable indicator on the screen and flickering light when in contact with your skin.
To enhance your skin’s conductivity (and decrease resistance), you have two methods available: you can either dampen the area of the skin with a wet pad or moisten the tip of the Vitastiq pen. It’s important to perform this moistening step not just during the calibration process but also prior to making contact with each acupuncture point you intend to measure. Use only slightly moist pads, not soaked or dripping with water.
Dr. Reinhold Voll (1909–1989), a German physician and researcher, revolutionized holistic medicine by introducing Electroacupuncture according to Voll (EAV) and Electro-Dermal Screening (EDS). These innovative methods merge traditional acupuncture principles with electrical measurements to assess the body's energetic imbalances, emphasizing a holistic approach to health.
