Procaine has many good properties. The most important is that at the injection site it "disconnects" the autonomic nervous system for a short time, thus enabling the body to resume its healthy self-regulation (Procainreset).
Procaine improves blood circulation, or as doctors say: it acts vasodilatorially (dilating). Since procaine has been in use for more than 100 years to treat patients all over the world, it can be said that it is one of the drugs that doctors have a lot of knowledge about. It is considered safe with no side effects other than the ''wanted'' ones and is also not addictive.
Research (2008, ref.) shows that procaine also has an impulse modulating effect on the limbic system in the brain, i.e. the structures in which are considered to play an important role in psychosomatics. In addition, procaine counteracts histamine (and thus allergies), inflammation (non-bacterial inflammation), it has an antispasmolytic (antispasmodic), antibacterial (antibiotic action) and virostatic (inhibits viruses).
Unlike other local anesthetics, procaine is broken down in the injection area and therefore does not burden the liver. Procaine is often used in the treatment of sports injuries (it is not on the doping list) because neural therapy shortens the course of the disease by relieving pain and increasing blood circulation in the injured area.
Procaine can be safely used during pregnancy (treatment of pelvic dysplasia) and during the breastfeeding period in cases such as mastitis.
The injection technique must be learned. Therefore, the education to become a neural therapist places great emphasis on knowledge in anatomy and the guidance of experienced therapists.
