The Kuznetsov applicator (IVLAR modification) "Medus" is a flexible mat with polished stainless steel needles (an alloy of iron, zinc, chromium, and silver compounds) on a durable, oil-resistant base. This acupressure mat is designed for targeted needle stimulation of the neck, sternum, lower back ("7th vertebra" area), lumbar region, shoulder joints, forearms, thighs, and lower legs. It's effective in alleviating joint stiffness, spinal osteochondrosis, pain from sprains, intercostal neuralgia, cough and respiratory difficulties, localized edema, and muscle spasms. It can also significantly reduce a "dowager's hump."
The localized needle stimulation provided by the Kuznetsov applicator offers several therapeutic benefits:
Application to the neck stimulates cervical sympathetic ganglia, reflexively engaging the cardiovascular system. This improves blood flow to organs innervated by the cervical and upper thoracic segments of the sympathetic trunk. It helps reduce fat deposits in the upper back ("dowager's hump") and may normalize blood pressure. Overall, it promotes improved metabolism in the treated tissues.
The IVLAR applicator's 3mm thick base features needles embedded 3/4 of their length into a hemispherical centralizer. This design ensures vertical needle positioning on a horizontal surface, optimal adaptability to body contours, and perfect contact with receptive zones for maximum axon reflex effect. Safety is ensured by precise needle placement (tolerance: 0.1mm), the hemispherical needle holder (5mm height), and the appropriate number of needles to prevent skin damage.
The needles are made of polished stainless steel with trace elements naturally occurring in the human body (iron, copper, silver, molybdenum, chromium, zinc, nickel, magnesium, manganese, and titanium). Mild galvanic currents are generated during use, stimulating ion movement in bodily fluids (blood, lymph, and intercellular fluid), providing local and systemic effects. These effects are a result of the primary physicochemical shifts underlying the physiological and therapeutic action of the axon reflex effect (detailed in the included instructions).
The Medus applicator mat is packaged in a cardboard box with instructions.
