The computer measures the degree of electrical resistance of the acupuncture points (generally the hands and feet). These measurements indicate balances or imbalances in the various organ systems of the body and can detect low level reactions. It also indicates which nutritional or homeopathic remedy, and the exact potency, that will bring about an energy balance.

EDSA can also monitor the client’s progress. There are no side effects with proper use of EDSA. No piercing of the skin, no discomfort, and no electrical impulses are felt during the testing.

• Reliability is as high or higher than other types of testing (proven effective in numerous double-blind studies)
• Safer than more invasive tests and procedures
• Less expensive than many other types of testing methods
• Provides for determination of exact remedy and dosage instead of relying on trial and error
• Identifies health issues on an energetic level (diseases can be discovered in early stages)
• Results are instant
• Takes the “guess work” out of developing a plan of care

The use of Electrodermal Testing dates back to the early 1950's to a German medical doctor name Reinhold Voll. He developed the first electronic testing device for finding acupuncture points. He then devoted his life to identifying correlations between disease states and changes in the electrical resistance of the various acupuncture points.

For example, he found that patients with lung disease had abnormal readings relating to the lungs. This allowed acupuncture points to be used diagnostically (until Voll, they had only been used as treatment).

In more recent years researchers from UCLA and USC have verified Dr. Voll’s findings with double-blind studies, and found there was 87 percent accuracy between Voll’s electronic testing device and the result of the x-ray diagnosis. Due to Voll’s lifelong research we are now able to incorporate acupuncture with remedies and technology.
