It’s known that in order to have a healthy life you needs to have a strong immune system. Your immune system takes care of eliminating most of the illnesses before they manifested themselves and it’s the one that helps you recover quickly from an illness if it happened anyway.

You probably heard that in order to have a strong immune system you need to avoid smoking (including passive smoking), moderate alcohol consumption, keep low stress levels and most importantly — follow a healthy diet.

However it’s also known that the immune system’s strength naturally diminishes with years, which explains why older generations are so prone to illnesses. Therefore it’s really critical to strengthen your immune system as you get older.

Now I’m going to explain how you could strengthen your immune system using techniques from Su Jok.

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.

There are good habits which help us move through the day without using too much of energy and make us more productive. And there are bad habits that make our lives miserable at times.

There are many kinds of bad habits which fall into various categories, but here we will concentrate on the category known in Su Jok as “surplus of desire”. Some of us smoke, others drink, yet other eat a little bit too much. If you start paying attention to when those bad habits kick in, you will most likely notice that it’s when you feel anxious about something. You probably use drinking, eating, smoking or else to kill that other emotion that you feel uncomfortable about.

Now there is nothing wrong with you, we all have our coping strategies and using substance consumption is just one of the possible strategies. Here we aren’t going to talk about how to replace the more destructive habits with less destructive or constructive ones. For now I’m going to show you how to strengthen the will power, which will take care of those bad habits.

A 48-year old women had been suffering from a severe form of climacteric syndrome for two years. She had very frequent “hot flashes”, suffered from panic attacks and often experienced chest oppression and heart palpitation. Her dreams were very disturbing. Preceding to that she often suffered from constipation and had a chronic bronchitis. Her medical history included a surgery, which removed the uterus and lowered function of the thyroid gland. This patient smoked a lot. She had a contraindication to hormonal prescriptions and therefore she wanted to be treated by alternative medicine.

One day I run into a man who draw my attention, because his right hand hung limp. It was unusually thin and the muscles were atrophied. The right side of his face didn’t look quiet normal. The right eye was smaller than the left and his eyes expressed a lot of sadness. In our conversation he told me that several years ago he had an accident and had went thought several surgical operations. In opinion of the medical experts his right hand couldn’t be restored. Beside that, he had been suffering from a deep depression for a long time. He had no appetite and smoked a lot. He had bad dreams and he couldn’t sleep past 5am and he hardly ate. To add insult to injury he had issues with his sexual performance.

He didn’t work, because he had a disability. I wanted to try to help this man and I suggested that he come and see me.
