Having problems with message search?
I use the turnip seeds on auricular points. I've never used them on the body, but I'm sure they would work.
I've not tried the various metals, magnets, etc, though I would check carefully for topical allergy, metal toxicity, and bioelectric sensitivity when using them.
I used to go to a chiro who used the metal beads on a sticky patch. After about 5 days, they would start to cause irritation, and would also get so embedded in the skin they were hard to dig out.
Come to think of it, I'm not sure you would be able to avoid these types of problems no matter what you used. Eventually, they will probably cause irritation, from the adhesive, the metal, or both.
One other thought: Using a drop of the appropriate homeopathic or frequency charged water on a band-aid over the point. This is good for a few days.
Anyone else have any ideas?

Dr. Adrian or other CPKers,
What do you recommend for treating acupoints that you want to treat for
longer periods of time (days, etc). I know there are several different
kinds of beads and seeds available (different metals, some are
magnetized, etc).
Does anyone have a preference?
I am experimenting with a treatment that requires constant stimulation
of points over an extended period of time (the author actually
used "permanent" needles but I want something less invasive) and I
would like to use something that is as effective as possible.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
