Oasis II

The OASIS II is versatile and easy to use!  It combines CES/Micro-TENS for relieving discomfort from muscle tension. This product has just been updated and revised for 2009!

About CES

Cranio-Electro Stimulation (CES) was developed in the Soviet Union in the late 1940s as a treatment for insomnia and has since been used by millions of people all over the world. Most research over the past 25 years has shown that CES reduces anxiety and improves cognition in recovering drug addicts and alcoholics. Pete Townsend, formerly of the band "The Who", found CES was the most effective treatment for his drug addiction recovery.

Research demonstrates that CES produces a mild stimulation in the hypothalamic area of the brain, resulting in balancing neurotransmitter activity (in particular Beta Endorphin and Norepinephrine). The effects achieved are similar to that of a "jogger's high".

About Micro-TENS

Although electromedicine has been in existence for well over a thousand years, developments in electronics and new research has seen this technology grow at a terrific rate in recent years.  Micro-TENS is very different than traditional TENS because Micro-TENS produces its benefits in part on a cellular level. Micro-TENS has longer lasting effects than TENS.  Micro-TENS is also commonly referred to as Microcurrent-Electrical Therapy.

The concept of Micro-TENS is based, in part, on Arndt’s Law, which states that weak stimuli excite physiological activity, whereas medium-strength stimuli will encourage it and strong stimuli will suppress it.

It is believed that Micro-TENS delivered at around 500 micro-amps in the 0.5 to 3 Hz range may be most effective for treating pain.
