The long term stimulation of the point also is thought to promote restore normal homeostasis or balance in disease conditions.

How long does it take to see any beneficial effects?

All animals respond differently and results depend on the individual case, however most owners begin to see beneficial effects in 2-4 weeks. However, just as with conventional medicine results cannot be guaranteed.

Are the beads ever removed?

No usually, they remain for life.
