Forming a strong excitation centre which is characterized by the varying degree of intensity of the excitation zone causes the formation of stable or less stable interoceptive and conditioned reflex bonds. The general biological reactions are the basis of forming systemic levels of regulation which provide the integral functioning of human body. The generalized visceral dysfunctions are caused both by factors of psychogenic nature and by tonic effects resulted from physical traumatism.

The above said allows to form an opinion about locking self-regulated reactions at various levels of the nervous systen which desorganize human body functioning.

The systemic analyzing of the connection of biologically active points of skin with zones of low-differentiated tonic effects is the basis of the complex therapeutic action-
