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.

Step 1

First you need to find necessary points for our treatment. These points are on our hands and they correspond to nose, throat and larynx. See figures 1 and 2.

Massage these areas using a little stick with a not too sharp edge (a toothpick with a broken sharp edge, ball pen without ink and will do). Find most painful points of these areas and press these points with a moderate effort and begin a slow rotation of the stick in two directions ( figure 3 ).

Do this procedure 2-3 times a day if you “caught” the common cold and once a day in order to prevent the disease.

Step 2

Heat up these areas as seen on figure 4

and also additional points using Moxa as seen on figure 5.

Do this procedure once a day both for treatment and for prevention of disease

Step 3

Apply grains of black pepper to areas corresponding to the nose, throat and larynx according to figure 6.

Use a band-aid or some other alternative to keep the grains of pepper in place. Change these grains once a day as long as the cold doesn’t go away.

It is most likely that so far in order to keep the ever annoying pain under control you used to swallow pills. Headache medicine is often very harmful to your body, and while it helps relieve the pain, its side-effects often hurt other important for well-being systems and in the long run you have to cope with new issues, caused by the medicine. Moreover, if the same drug is taken on a regular basis (e.g., if you suffer from a chronic migraine) your body develops tolerance to it and that drug often stops working, making you increase dosage or try other even worse drugs.

Now I would like to explain how you could get rid of headaches or migraines in a matter of several minutes on your own or with a help of a partner. Before we continue please find a little stick with a not too sharp edge (a toothpick with a broken sharp edge will do).

Getting Rid Of The Forehead Headache

Let’s begin with the case where you have a headache in your forehead area.

Find on the thumb of the left or the right hand the most painful point in an area corresponding to a frontal part of the head as shown in the following picture.

Press this point with a moderate effort and begin a slow rotation of the stick in two directions. Carry out this massage for several minutes and the headache would disappear.

You could apply the same procedure on other fingers of the right and left hand.

While you do that it’s crucial to have the intention making yourself feel good. Do not think “i want pain to go away”, but “I feel good”. If you think about pain, you will get pain.

If the pain doesn’t go away massage a few extra points as shown on the following picture. Massage the points with the constant moderate effort while slightly rotating the thumb, without moving it. This point should not be stimulated if you are pregnant.

Another technique is to stick grains of buckwheat to the painful points and leave them there for a couple of hours to ensure that the pain doesn’t return. You can use a band-aid to keep the grains in place.

Getting Rid Of The Headache On Sides Of The Head

Apply the same techniques as described earlier using the following pictures:

Getting Rid Of The Headache On The Top And Back Of The Head

And again, use the same techniques, but using the following pictures, first using the back of the thumb of the left hand:

and then using the fingers of the left hand:

Notes

On the pictures you can see me using a special stick used in Su Jok therapy, which you could probably purchase from your local health store, but again any similar stick would do the trick.

The techniques used here are based on Su-Jok Therapy, but the good thing is that you don’t need to know anything about it to get rid of pain.

And for a great compendium of holistic treatments for migraines and headaches, I highly recommend the following book:

Headaches Begone!
A Systemic Approach
To Healing Your Headaches
by Stas Bekman.

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.

Recently she called me and told that she had to leave school because she felt a strong pain on the back of the head. I decided to perform distance healing using Su-Jok.

Diagnostics

The pain was probably connected with the energy meridian of Bladder that also testified the back pain.

Treatment

At first I massaged the painful points on my thumb corresponding to the areas according to Su Jok therapy. Next I put the needles on the dummy hand, imaging the head of the girl. In half an hour she called me to report that the pain disappeared.
