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.

One of the main reasons for hemorrhoid problems is inadequate diet, with too few fibers, which leads to hard bowel movements and frequent constipations, which create constant straining during bowel movement.

Inactive way of life, sedentary work, adiposity, pregnancy and childbirth, unnecessary body weight, too many hot baths, smoking and constant stresses also provoke development of hemorrhoids.

It’s really important that you see a doctor at the first appearance of hemorrhoids.

It is possible to considerably accelerate the healing process using a simple technique used in Su Jok therapy.

Treatment

First find most painful points on areas corresponding to the rectum according to figure 1.

Now find a little stick with a not too sharp edge (a toothpick with a broken sharp edge, a ball pen without ink and will do). You’re going to use this stick to massage those painful points. Press these points with a moderate effort and begin a slow rotation of the stick in two directions. Carry out this massage for several minutes. See figure 2.

Next paint over these areas with dark blue color. For this purpose it is possible to use an ordinary felt-tip pen.
Finally apply buckwheat seeds to these areas. This is the same technique as explained in “How To Get Rid Of Neck Pain” step 3.

If you have a constipation refer to How to Treat Constipation.

Advice on diet

As mentioned in the introduction, your diet is really important if you have hemorrhoids or you want to avoid those.

Your daily diet should include sufficient amount of liquids (between 2 to 3 liters) and products possessing salutary action on intestinal peristalsis – black and bran bread, crude vegetables and fruit, prunes, cereal and buckwheat groats.

It’d be beneficial to avoid entirely consuming whole milk and products from refined white flour. Sour-milk products on the other hand, like yogurts, are good for your diet.

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

Treatment

In this article I’m going to teach you how you can help yourself reduce stomach bloating and eliminate intestinal gas, using techniques from Su Jok.

As usual with Su Jok, the first thing you are going to do is to identify areas on your hand that correspond to stomach, duodenum and gall bladder. See figure 1 for details:

Once you found the areas you need to stimulate those areas. You can use a little stick with a not too sharp edge (e.g., a toothpick with a broken sharp edge, ball pen without ink, etc.)

Now find most painful point on these areas. Press these points with moderate effort and begin a slow rotation of the stick in two directions.

Carry out this massage for several minutes (figure 2).

If you didn’t find painful points simply massage whole areas. You can also use your fingers to do the massage.
Massage these areas with constant moderate effort while slightly rotating a finger, without moving it. While the picture shows only one finger, you should repeat the same massage on all fingers but your thumb.

Next apply fennel seeds to the area corresponding to stomach. Replace these seeds every 10-12 hours. See also the technique explained in “How To Get Rid Of Neck Pain“.

If the discomfort persists you are next going to massage two very important points. Here is how to find those points:

Look at figures 3 and 4. Put your hand according to figure 3. The middle finger will specify to you the location of the first point. It is at the distance of one finger width from the anterior crest of the tibia.

Now look at figures 5 and 6. Put four fingers according to figure 5 and you will find the place of the second point.
It is on the medial part of the tibia.

Massage these points on both legs.

These points should not be stimulated if you are pregnant.

After that heat up these points using Moxa.

To conclude, here is some advice to avoid having stomach bloating in first place.

• Walk after meals
• Do not hurry to eat your meals; instead carefully chew your food.
• Limit the use of milk. Drink lactose-free milk and yogurts instead.
• Avoid the use of excessively hot or cold food.
• Reduce consumption of stimulating substances. Coffee, tea and chocolate can lead to stomach bloating.

(Abdominal pain indicates pain in any part of the abdomen below or just around the umbilicus).

She was very upset. The pain was on the left down side of lower abdominal and was not related to the menstrual cycle. The pain was aggravated with her bowel movements and when she moved. She visited her family doctor, made all tests and no pathology was detected. Also she had problems in her family and was depressed.

Diagnosis

At first I performed a computer test using the TestBalance device, according to Su Jok theory. The results are summed up in the following diagram.

According to Su-Jok therapy the human body has six kinds of energy (six ki), that cooperate with each other. In healthy body they have been balanced (see Su-Jok Therapy helps Mother Recover from Depression after her Son’s Death). In our case we can see an excess of AH – Coldness (BL), AH – Wind (GB), AH – Dryness (LI) energy in the body (Yang energy). The pain my patient suffered from is expressed in the excess of Coldness and Dryness energy in her body. The excess of Wind energy is expressed in the pain connected to the movement and the stress. At the same time deficiency UM -Dryness (LU) and UM – Wind (LV) energy explains chronic depression among women.

Treatment

The Su-Jok treatment was directed to sedation AH – Coldness and AH – Wind energy and tonification of AH – Humidity energy. This treatment I performed on byol-chakras.

In addition I did acupuncture to sedate the Dryness energy in the Bladder meridian in the location corresponding to the pain.

After three treatments her abdominal pain disappeared.

The girl was very worried before the first treatment and refused to do acupuncture.

Her mom thought that some of the medicine her daughter took could have been the cause of the pain, but she couldn’t figure which one if any was at fault.

Diagnosis

The epigastric pain in this case is connected with the emotional condition
of the girl. Emotion problems have a profound influence on stomach disorders. Emotion of anger in the TCM is connected with the meridians of the Gall Bladder and the Liver. Emotional states such as anger and resentment lead to situation described in 5-Element terms as Wood overacting on Earth. If the predominant emotion is outright and expressed anger leading to Liver-Yang rising, it prevents the Stomach-Qi from descending, which results in epigastric pain.

Treatment

In the first session I found a painful point in standard corresponding system of Su Jok and applied massage to it. Then I used Moxa to warm up this point. Next I put a chakral’s magnet on this point for 4 o’clock.

I explained to the girl how to attach a buckwheat grain on painful points for self-treatments at home.

After the first session the pain disappeared and did not appear any more. I continued the treatments in which I used Jin Shin Acupressure. I used three formulas: The Great Regulator, Liver and Gall Bladder.

The girl has been healthy for more than a year now.
