A 55 year old woman, came to me complaining about a sudden deterioration of her fingernails. Her fingernails were indeed fragile, soft and easily bent.  She couldn’t associate this sudden deterioration of her fingernails with any recent event or a specific medicine. She also complained about issues with her digestion,  constipations, bad sleep, occasional hot flashes and a sense of cold in her back.

Diagnosis

First I performed a computer test using the TestBalance device, according to Su Jok theory. You can see the results of the test on figure 1.

The hemorrhoids are varicose expansion of hemorrhoid veins (an abnormally swollen vein ) in the anus or rectum.
This is one of the most widespread diseases. Symptoms of this disease include bleeding rectum, loss of hemorrhoidal bolus, accompanied by itching, inflammation and sometimes thrombosis. According to statistics women, and men are equally susceptible to hemorrhoids.

The chronic hemorrhoids behave cyclically, i.e. the condition improves and deteriorates in cycles. However left without a serious treatment this illness gradually progresses and can suddenly take the acute form which could lead to thrombosis.

The acute form of disease is characterized by a strong splitting pain and a sensation of having an alien object in rectum. These sensations are very acute during bowel movement, walking and sitting.

Back pain - one of the most widespread diseases in the world. According to statistic 80% of population of all globe suffer from back pain. This number is not surprising, since most of us lead a sedentary lifestyle, eat incorrectly, walk, sit and stand in bad posture, and many hardly do any physical activity.

The interesting thing is that back pain in not really a disease on its own independent, it’s actually only a symptom that your body is unhealthy.

For those of us who stays in the same bad posture for extended periods of time and performs a monotonous job, back pain could be accompanied by a sharp muscular spasm.

The condition usually begins with a sudden sharp pain in a waist, less often with some dull pain which eventually grows into sharp pain. When this happens the person  cannot bend or unbend, back muscles are very strained, painful and a slightest movement or a physical pressure could aggravate the pain. Trunk mobility becomes very limited. The pain is often unilateral. Pressing around the  waist area causes sharp pain.

Self-Healing Technique

Now let’s talk about how you could help yourself in case you get back pain.

Quite a few of us suffer from bad eyesight. Some developed that during their childhood, while reading too much with a flashlight at nights, others have been progressively losing their sight with age. Bad eyesight can have different manifestations - some can’t see well at a distance, others can’t see close objects unaided.

Whatever your problem is don’t rush to go and get a eyeglasses prescription, instead try to improve your eyesight by yourself. Getting glasses is like taking drugs, instead of taking care of the cause of the problem, glasses only help deal with manifestation of the problem.

The following techniques from Su Jok will help you improve your vision.

There are probably not many people who haven’t at least once in their lives “caught” an acute viral nasopharyngitis, also known as acute coryza, usually referred to as the common cold.

It’s probably safe to say that this is the most common disease. The cold, nasal congestion, sore throat, cough and accompanying problems such as headaches and discomfort are symptoms of this acute respiratory disease.

While it’s possible to treat this disease, the best is to avoid getting it in first place, in particular for children, who have the hardest time coping with it.

Su Jok therapy has some simple techniques one can use to prevent and to get rid of this disease.

There are those lucky women who experience no pain during their menstruation period, there are those that have slight pain and there are those unlucky ones for who get their private experience of a several-day hell, month after month. Women in the latter group often can’t even go to work or school and have to resort to anesthetic medicine to cope with pain. For some women the pain could last for two to three days after the period is over. The pain is typically accompanied by uterine cramps, also known as dysmenorrhea.

It is possible to get rid of pain during menstruation and uterine cramps or to at least considerably reduce it using Su Jok therapy, which each person can do on their own and requires no visits to doctors or medicine use.

Cramps of a spastic character in legs (mostly in the gastrocnemius muscles, located in the back part of the lower leg) often occur at night forcing the person to wake up, jump from the bed and to groan from a pain. Recently my uncle who lives in another city called me and told me that he had strong pains in gastrocnemius muscle and asked me to help him get rid of the cramps, which I did. Here is his story:

I have previously addressed to this topic in Knee-Pain Treatments where I shown an approach I used for knee pain treatment for my clients. Here however I would like to show you how you could get rid of knee pain by yourself, without needing to go to a specialist.

On reaching a certain age many people are prone to suffering from knee pain, when they sit down or stand up, and walk up and down stairs. Overweight people are especially susceptible to experience this pain.

Knee join deformation is the main reason for this pain. This deformation occurs in the course of many years. At the beginning it manifests by sending discomfort sensations in a knee and at a more advanced stage evolves into knee swelling and pain. The pain can involve the internal or the lateral aspect of the knee, or both.

For some of us it’s not unusual to feel discomfort from stomach bloating and formation of intestinal gas after having a meal. Most of the time the bloating goes away after a few hours and may reoccur after the next meal.

If the bloating does not go away and persists for days you may want to visit your doctor. In this article we are going to deal only with short-term stomach bloating, which related directly to intake of foods.

Reasons for Stomach Bloating:

• Dairy products can increase gas formation. Traditional Chinese Medicine explains this as a weakness of a spleen which is the case with most adults. The modern medicine explains it as decrease in presence of enzymes necessary for processing lactose (dairy sugar) contained in dairy products.
• Badly digested food can promote increased formation of gas as well. Good examples of such foods are cabbage, beans, yeast, nuts, potatoes, sunflower seeds, fruit, sweets, soda water and certainly any fatty products.
• Eating too fast causes ingestion of air that also contributes to stomach bloating

Pain and stiffness in the shoulder joint is an extremely common complaint and usually is due to some inflammatory process in the shoulder area.

Typically one first feels a kind of heaviness in the area, accompanied by slight pain, and with time the pain amplifies. The pain is felt the most when one moves their hand in various directions.

Here are the most common causes of a shoulder pain:
