The BMN reservoir does not contain any products. Its filling is extemporaneous.
The patient is placed in an appropriate posture:
Seated, initially, to insert the needles in the back, then in supine position for the remaining needles to be inserted.

On the practitioner’s lab table there is a conventional pharmacopoeia phial of the injectable drug; the top removed.

 While exerting a pressure on the BMN reservoir, the doctor carefully immerses the BMN needle in the drug phial.

By progressively releasing pressure on the reservoir it will fill via the needle. The needle is then brought in contact with the chosen acupuncture point which has been carefully disinfected with alcohol.

The BMN is inserted in the chosen point with one hand while the other hand presses, stretches or pinches the skin.

The BMN remains in place. The BMN needle needs twenty five minutes to fulfil its role as acupuncture needle.

The BMN®, as an acupuncture needle, is included in the range of the needles that practitioners need to treat their patient effectively. They must first fill the BMN reservoir with the selected drug.

Let us take the treatment of a periarthritis of the shoulder as an example:

A periarthritis of the shoulder goes hand in hand with a general energy imbalance which needs to be treated at the same time as the shoulder. Taking the Chinese pulse reveals this.

After assessing the information gained during the interview and taking the pulse, the acupuncture points far from the shoulder are pricked with regular acupuncture needles and the local, or even regional points, affected by the periarthritis of the shoulder are injected using BMN®s filled (by suction) with the chosen injectable drug.

As we have said before, this case involves a local treatment to avoid a more generalised approach.

If it involves treatment for a general affection, point location is indifferent since the points are recorded as being active on the general affection, in question.

All the acupuncture needles are removed after twenty five minutes.

However, before the BMN®s are withdrawn, the practitioner exerts finger & thumb pressure on the BMN® reservoir to administer the volume of drug or physiological salt solution contained in the reservoir to that precise point.

The acupuncture needles and the metal of the BMN needles play a role in energy stimulation. The effect is perpetuated by the physiological salt solution. The BMN® plays the part of a needle of acupuncture and mesopuncture. It could also play the part of a mesothérapy needle.

For doctors who are not acupuncturists

Its use, in general and for the present, is limited to the injection of drugs in local points surrounding the pathological zone, and can therefore be performed by any doctor without any special knowledge of acupuncture but with sound training in anatomy.

 A doctor called on to treat osteoarthritis pain for example, in the course of a normal working day, will find the recommended mesopuncture points with their exact anatomical reference in our lexicon. The information includes highly explicit diagrams referring to the anatomical structure and neuro-vasculature summary underlying the point in question. The recommended points are generally close to the pathological zone but are sometimes distant.
 

As we have already seen, during a general affection like Obesity or psychism disorders, the elected points are acknowledged as having a general effect.

It will also be possible to question the site to find out what the limits of mesopuncture are in terms of the general pathology you will met because it influence will obviously expand to include other pathologies: gynaecology, nephrology etc.

It will be possible to suggest updated or new therapeutic acupuncture or mesopuncture formule.
