What is Shu Li

It all started with the “rediscovery” of the forests.  Forests are the main sources of oxygen for humans.  More than that, trees and plants also act as antidotes for many diseases.

Dr. Kawase Itsuko, the founder of this health care therapy, hypothesized that if trees could grow for ages without any aid, humans too should be able to live longer if they could discover and harness the secrets behind the growth of trees.

Dr. Itsuko had observed the trees and the conditions under which they grew since she was a child.  She noticed that trees, especially those in deep forest, grew practically all by themselves.  More importantly, she discovered that the trees could prosper despite having to undergo changes of seasons and harsh conditions.

After 26 years of hard work and a thorough application of certain Eastern medical theories, Dr. Itsuko gained an unprecedented result when she discovered that the resinous substance or wood vinegar of some trees actually possesses detoxifying functions. She also discovered that the great absorbing power of wood vinegar makes it fit to be used as a physiotherapeutic agent, as well as for the easing of pains and swells.

Shu Li’s Uniqueness

This product puts nothing in the body, thus making it safe to use in a number of

circumstances. The concept of stimulating the acupuncture points on the soles of the feet to stimulate the body’s healing power through the use of acupuncture needles or reflexology massage is well established.

The utilization of Far-Infrared Radiation to accomplish this stimulation is what makes SHU LI™ unique. The many testimonials we receive from people on a daily basis attest to the product’s effectiveness in helping with a variety of ailments.

How It Works

The Shu Li Pouch contains a mixture of powdered ingredients including doubled distilled wood vinegar, tourmaline, and germanium.  The pouch is placed in contact with the skin, and held in place over a number of hours.  The typical contact points on the body are the soles of the feet.  However, it can also be used in areas where there is discomfort like the shoulder, back, knee, ankle, elbow, etc.

Far Infrared Radiation

The Shu Li pouch utilizes the Far Infrared Radiation (FIR) effect of certain materials to generate that stimulus.  FIR has been researched for many years in Japan, China, USA, and Sweden for a wide variety of conditions such as muscle sprains, strains, peripheral vascular diseases, and arthritis.  Some research has even suggested that the idea that FAR stimulation of the cardiovascular system could be a possible means of maintaining cardiovascular conditioning in astronauts during long space flights.

Tourmaline

Tourmaline is best known as one of the only minerals to naturally emit far infrared heat and ionization. Only purest grade tourmaline is used in Shu Li which creates a resonance in the body that vibrates at the same frequency as water. Tourmaline exerts a cleansing energy on our nervous system. This has a stabilizing and cleansing effect.

Now, as a mineral, it has become a focus of research at universities and research centers worldwide.  The reason - infrared Tourmaline is the only one mineral to show permanent electricity on the earth and is also a natural source of negative ions and far infrared (FIR) rays.  It is also known to be helpful for improving circulation, relieving stress, increasing mental alertness and strengthening the immune system function (Niwa Institute for Immunology, Japan. Int

J. Biometeorol 1993 Sep; 37(3) 133-8).

Around 1986, it was found in a research station in Japan that, even though tourmaline was broken down in smaller pieces, a positive and a negative electrode existed on both ends of the crystal, and the electrodes never disappeared unless tourmaline was boiled near 1000°C.  In addition, when the positive and the negative electrodes of a tourmaline crystal were connected to each other, it was proven to show low electricity of 0.06mA.

Usage

For overall health, place the pouches on the soles of the feet at night before retiring. Pouches may also be applied to shoulders, or joints where there is discomfort. For maximum utilization, and benefit keep pouches on for at least 7 hours. You may need to wear socks over the pouches to keep them from being rubbed off if you move around while you are sleeping. You may also use the pouches in the daytime.

Directions: Place as desired.
Place the pouch bag with the gold side facing the sticky surface of the enclosed plaster sheet. Apply to the desired location. The powder in the pouch bag will turn a deeper brown color after use, and have a sticky texture.

On certain parts of the body, you may find that even after several hours in use, the color of the powders in the bag remains unchanged. This is entirely normal.
