The Kuznetsov Applicator was invented in the late 1970s. Over 75 million sets of these needle mats were sold in the USSR, with each costing just one ruble.
In the late 1970s, Ivan Kuznetsov, a music teacher from Chelyabinsk, became a folk healer. He initially created the device to treat himself, but his invention ended up spreading across the Soviet Union. By the late 1980s, millions of these sets were being sold, even in grocery stores.
The modern Kuznetsov Applicator, often referred to as the Tibetan Applicator, is typically a fabric mat filled with soft padding. Its surface is covered with round or square plates that have pointed spikes.
Interestingly, the first applicator was a piece of foam with needles inserted into it in a specific order. Kuznetsov was self-taught in acupuncture and reflexology, applying all the knowledge and practical experience he had gained to his invention.
The applicator is applied to problem areas by pressing the spikes to the pain threshold. The needles stimulate 🩸 circulation, which helps the body distribute oxygen and nutrients more effectively. It relaxes muscles, provides pain relief, positively affects the nervous system, boosts 🩸 flow and metabolism, improves skin condition, and alleviates headaches.
It is most commonly used to address problems with the musculoskeletal system, such as scoliosis, radiculitis, osteochondrosis, spinal curvature, and for treating flat feet.
