Insomnia could happen because of neuroses, some cardiovascular and mental diseases and also due to damages of brain formations regulating correct alternation of a dream and wakefulness.

Normally healthy people could also have an occasional insomnia which could appear after a physical or intellectual over strain, exhaustion, or due to strong emotions.

It is possible and necessary to cope with this disease. But ideally without the pills, as they don’t help to bring a normal sleep, which must include dreaming, and also pills can create a dependency and the body could create a tolerance to drugs, requiring an increased dosage.

Therefore I would like to offer simple and accessible to everyone ways to get rid of insomnia without resorting to medicine.

The Techniques

First using Moxa heat up the basic power points as shown on figures 1 to 3.

Next massage areas corresponding to neck, back of the head and epiphysis ( figure 4 )

and points corresponding to kidney. These points are on the back of a palm in small recesses ( figures 5 and 6 ). Massage those areas using your fingers, without applying too much pressure.

Do these two procedures before going to sleep.

If after trying those techniques a few times you are still not getting the desired effect, try to add the following technique in addition to the ones mentioned earlier.

Place fingers according to figure 7 and hold them for 3 to 4 minutes. You should feel relaxed now and will quickly fall asleep.

If you woke up and can’t fall back asleep simply paint up finger tips by dark blue felt-tip pen. This procedure is especially good for children who can’t sleep.

Finally, if you are tormented by bad dreams, before you are going to sleep, massage the point specified on figure 8.

Use for this purpose any not too sharp object (for example a ball pen without ink, etc.). Massage this point on both feet for 2 to 3 minutes.

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:

• Cold penetrating the shoulder area

Cold contracts muscles and sinews and therefore causes pain and stiffness.

• Excessive work or exercise.

A constant repetition of a movement involving the shoulder joint, doing sports or work, often leads to joint deterioration and eventual pain.

• Accidents.

Trauma can lead to stretching or break of shoulder sinews. One patient slipped on the wet staircase, and used a handrail to prevent falling, putting all of her weight on one arm. She overstretched her sinews, which resulted in an injury, which required a long treatment to heal.

Treatment

An acupuncture treatment typically gives excellent results in treatment of shoulder pain. But if for some reason you can’t visit your favorite acupuncturist, I’m going to show you how to get rid of your shoulder pain or at least
considerably reduce it.

Using Su Jok theory, the first thing to do is to find the corresponding areas of the shoulder on your hand, and then work on those.

Find most painful points on one or some of areas according to figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 (for this purpose very good to use a massage stick ) and then massage these areas.

This is the same technique as explained in “How to Prevent Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)” step 2.

The next step is heating up these areas with Moxa.

After that application of buckwheat seeds to the shoulder area on the left or right hand. This is the same technique as explained in “How To Get Rid Of Neck Pain” step 3.

Diagnosis and Treatment

According to Su Jok theory any trauma leads to excess of Coldness energy. Therefore the purpose of the treatment was sedation of the Coldness energy in the affected area.

First of all I massaged the painful points according to Su-Jok’s basic and mini corresponding systems and warmed up them using Moxa. I then put needles to the same points for 30 minutes
which had a significant impact on the level of pain and my patient felt much better.

In a few days I returned to repeat the same treatment.

When she was able to walk again, she came to me and I continued the treatment at my clinic. I performed Energy Flow Therapy (EFT) for sedation of the Coldness energy in the area of the broken bone.

After plaster removal I continued the treatment using magnets and massage.

My patient reported that my Su-Jok treatments significantly improved her recovery time.

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.

Diagnosis

First I run a computer test using the TestBalance device, according to Su Jok theory. You can see the results of the test in following diagram.

The test has shown that his body was under an extreme stress. This can be seen in the diagram as there is a great deviation of energy meridians.

Both of the Lung meridians (Lu) were in a great deficiency which explained his sadness and his smoking. The Heart (Hr) and the Pericardium (Pc) meridians were in imbalance, which typically occurs when there is an stagnation of the energy circulation system, and which also explained my patient’s sexuality difficulties.

Deficiency of the Small Intestine (Si) and the Triple Heater (Th) meridians indicated that his organism was poisoned by irregular diet and smoking.
The energy meridians connected with the diet system: Spleen (Sp), Si and Stomach (St), were in imbalance, indicating serious disturbances in the system.
Excess of the Bladder (Bl) meridian pointed to the problem with his spine and hand, especially in his right side.

Treatment

I performed Su Jok technique for treating depression (see Using Su Jok to Cope with Emotional Problems ) and to control his back pain I used massage in combination with Magnetic Acupressure Suctions Cups. I continued the treatments for several months. Now my patient feels much better. He now has an appetite and his dreams improved.

Here is the diagnostics diagram taken after the treatment. One can see that now all energy systems of his organism balanced much better, but there is only one problem – excess of the Bladder meridian on the right side. This still indicates an issue with with his right hand, which hasn’t been yet resolved.

Earlier I treated her for back problems. Also she was inclined to depression in connection with a problem in her family.

Diagnosis

I diagnosed my patient using the TestBalance device. The results summer up in the following diagram:

Based on these results it became obvious that patient’s constitution was A-Cold. In this constitution energy of Wind (meridian of the Gall Bladder – GB), energy of Cold (meridian the Bladder – BL) and energy of Dryness (meridian of the Large Intestine – LI) are in an excess and energies of Heat (meridian of the Heart – HR), Hotness (meridian of Triple Warmer – TH) and of the Humidity (meridian of the Stomach – ST ) are in deficiency. Such circumstances could result in pain and localization of this pain can be according to arrangement of the meridian of Gall Bladder over the eye.

Treatment

I massaged the painful points according to the basic correspondence system and mini-systems of Su-Jok Therapy and subsequently did acupuncture on the same points.

In parallel I put two needless in a point corresponding to the gall bladder in the basic Su Jok correspondence system.

In ten minutes the pain disappeared and so far didn’t come back.
