The Thermal Scan is used to assess the autonomic nervous system—the part of the nervous system that you don’t have to think about. This part of your nervous system controls: Heart rate Breathing Immunity All organ functions Hormonal balance And much more We do this by precisely measuring the differences in temperature along the spine. Studies at Johns Hopkins University show that the body temperature on the left and right sides of your spine should be the same. A difference in body temperature on the right or left sides of your spine indicates stress or blockage to your autonomic nerves. Temperature is an accurate indicator of where stress is building up and how deeply it affects bodily functions. Each organ system relies on clear and balanced nerve signals to work efficiently. Nerve interference that is detected by this sensor is valuable in understanding and planning health and wellness strategies. The test enables us to determine what organs may be affected and the severity of the stress.
