Scenar Therapy

Have you heard of the Scenar technology - to promote healing?

I've begun to explore the new technology that has emerged in relation to the human energy field. Scenar technology has been around for more than 20 years, and has been widely used and tested in Russia (where it was invented) and in europe. I've begun to explore its use as an adjunct to my hands-on work.

Here is how it works.....

When we are healthy, our adaptive reactions occur almost imperceptibly. The channels of information (communication within the body) flow unrestricted. However, when there is an unhealthy situation, our “body communication” slows down and the symptoms of a pathologic process (malady) increase. When this happens, typically 5 things can occur:

1. Energy consumption is increased.
2. The area of energy concentration is localized.
3. The energy provision of the whole body beyond the boundaries of this area suffers.
4. The lack of energy negatively affects the transformation of information.
5. The localized concentration of energy occurs in one separate part of the system.

Adaptive reaction sites consume more energy than normal, stealing their increased energy needs from another part of the body. This leads to a local aggravation creating an asymmetry, an area of abnormality that slows down the body’s informational flow and is seen outwardly as an increase of the pathologic process.

The goal of SCENAR treatment is to reduce the adaptive reaction into a symptom-free form. Once “small asymmetries” are located on the skin’s surface, they are treated to bring the body’s attention to the problem for “corrective healing” actions.

A “small asymmetry” is an area of the skin that is different from the surrounding area of skin. When energy is being consumed at a high rate in one area relative to another area, its bio-impedance will be different from the surrounding tissue. This allows SCENAR devices to locate and treat the abnormal (asymmetric) area and “push” it back toward equilibrium, adjusting the entire system in the process.


Operationally, SCENARs utilize a complex electronic signal that is a fast impulse followed by a sinusoidal saw-tooth waveform. Once the device is placed on the skin, the body becomes part of a “live circuit” and a modified waveform results. This waveform triggers the release of neuropeptides by stimulation of the nerve fibers of the central nervous system. In a sense, it’s like the body can go to its own drugstore and ask it to release what the body needs. This is why once SCENARs are removed from the body, the effects are felt longer than say with a classic TENS device. Hence, a person’s first encounter with a SCENAR device may yield symptomatic relief ranging from hours to days depending on the individual.

Another main feature of the SCENAR waveform is that it is biphasic. Biphasic means there is a positive and a negative stimulus. The waveform starts with a negative push, turns through neutral, goes positive and back down toward negative and rapidly oscillates, eventually dampening toward neutrality. The design of the circuitry and the waveform makes the entire process somewhat adaptogenic; if you need more of something you get it, if you need less, you get less, and a bit of “re-education” occurs in the process. Hence, SCENAR devices are considered to be sophisticated biofeedback/re-education devices With SCENARs, the body completes the electrical circuit and actively changes the treatment based on the biofeedback it receives.

Would love to hear your thoughts.
