Where To Find Acupressure Points That Will Help You To Get Rid Of The Toothache?

The most effective way to control toothache is to apply pressure on points that are located around your thumb nail. You will have to find which acupressure point is corresponding to your aching tooth. If the aching tooth is located in the lower jaw, then its corresponding acupressure point will be located near the end of the nail (i.e. edge of the finger). If on the other hand, the ache located on the upper jaw, then the corresponding acupressure point will be located near the root of the nail, i.e. where it starts to grow.

(See illustration for clarity)

You can use the thumb either on the left or the right hand.

How To Apply Pressure On The Acupressure Points?

With the aid of a massage stick or a similar object such as a toothpick, or the end of a ball-point pen (without ink), find the most painful spot that is also corresponding to the aching tooth, and massage that spot thoroughly, for several minutes. Usually, the pain will be diminished or even disappear entirely. If it didn’t help check again that you used the right acupressure point. After that, thoroughly warm-up that spot with the help of a Moxa (mini-Moxa would work best) and then attach a buckwheat seed with a help of a band-aid. From time to time, apply some pressure on the seed. It can remain there, until the pain goes away.

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.

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.

Self-Healing Technique

Step 1

Find out points as per figure 1:

Now heat up those points using Moxa.

Do this procedure once a day on both palms.

Step 2

Massage those points according to figure 2.

For this purpose it is very good to use massage stick or any other suitable subject for example a ball pen without ink.

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 once a day.

Step 3

The final step is to apply buckwheat seeds to points according to figure 3.

Use a band-aid in order to attach them to fingers. Leave those grains in place for 10 to 12 hours. If water gets onto the seeds, simply replace them with fresh ones and use a new band-aid.

Do this procedure 2-3 times a week.

Finally remember that physical activity strengthens the immune system and helps prevent infections and illnesses.

Foods Strengthening The Immune System

• Green leafy vegetables
• Nuts, especially almonds
• Broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, turnips
• Garlic (It is one of the most potent foods for the purpose of immune system strengthening)
• Deep-water sea fish ( such as salmon or tuna )
• Algae
• Raw grains and cereals

The interesting thing is that back pain is not really a disease on its own, it’s 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 and painful and a slightest movement or a physical pressure aggravates 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.

According to Su Jok the backbone corresponds to certain areas on our palms. You can see the corresponding areas on figures 1 to 4.

Next, you need to find the exact areas that correspond to your specific pain.

The pain in the area between the most acting cervical vertebra and bottom edge of scapula is presented in figures as “Thoracic vertebrae T1-T8 (Upper back)”.

The pain in the area between edge of scapula and the waist is presented in figures as “Thoracic vertebrae T9 -T12 (Middle back)”.

The pain in the area of the waist is presented in figures as “Lumbar vertebrae L1 – L5 (Waist)”.

The pain in the area between the waist and the tailbone presented in figures as “Sacrum S1 – S5”.

Areas corresponding to the backbone on fingers (figure 3) are located on each finger except for your thumb (figure 3 shows one finger as an example).

Treatment

Step 1

Find the most painful points on one or several of the areas depicted on figures 1, 2, 3, and 4 (for this purpose it is 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.

Do this procedure for 10-15 minutes.

Step 2

Next step is to massage areas on your fingers (figure 3 ) corresponding to your back pain using a spring ring. If you can’t find one use an ordinary elastic band. Make movements along the finger according to figure 5.

Do this procedure a few times a day.

Step 3

Now you need to heat up these areas with Moxa.

Step 4

The final step is to apply buckwheat seeds to the area corresponding to your back pain. This is the same technique as explained in “How To Get Rid Of Neck Pain” step 3.

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 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.

Self-Treatment Technique

First you need to find the areas on your hands that correspond to the problematic areas in your body according to Su Jok. The areas to be treated are uterus, ovaries and hypophysis. The corresponding areas on your hands can be seen on figure 1.

Step 1

Now 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 2 ). Continue massaging those areas for several minutes and the pain should disappear.

If a discomfort is still felt, continue with the following steps:

Step 2

Do the following step only if you don’t have strong bleeding at this moment. If you do, skip to step 3. Heat up the same points using Moxa.

Step 3

Massage the proximal phalanx on each finger using a spring ring as shown on figure 3.

You can order the spring ring from Internet. If you can’t find one use an ordinary elastic band. Make a longitudinal movements along a phalanx.

Repeat this step a few times a day.

Step 4

Finally apply seeds to these points. You can use apples, pears or grape seeds. This is the same technique as explained in “How To Get Rid Of Neck Pain” step 3. Leave these grains in place for an hour or two.

One night two month ago I suddenly felt a strongest pricking pain in gastrocnemius muscle of the left leg. I had a feeling that there was a huge needle inside my leg trying to burst out. The intensity of the pain was insane – I could hardly bear it. Towards the morning the pain went away and did not come back for about ten days. And then the pain came back with the same intensity. This time it didn’t go away in the morning, but persisted till afternoon, almost without a break in waves: one second sharp pain, the next second it’d go away, just to reappear again. It felt as if something was getting contracted inside my leg, either the muscles or the veins.

I visited my family doctor. He suggested that I try an ointment prescription, but it didn’t help. Therefore next I tried to find an alternative solution, and that’s when I remembered that Felix practiced alternative medicine. I made an appointment with him, and it was a blessing.

Felix applied acupuncture to the tips of my fingers and the pain immediately disappeared. It came back the next day with almost the same intensity and disappeared in about 10 hours. The next day the pain returned but with lesser intensity and disappeared in about 8 hours. That was the last time I had the pain. It’s been more than a month and I’ve been pain-free. Life is good again!

At the end of this article I shall show as I for have once cured my uncle, but this explanation is more for experts on Su Jok therapy. However first I’m going to teach you how you could get rid of this problem by yourself.

Muscle Cramp-Elimination Self-Healing Technique

Begin with a massage of middle and proximal phalanxes of middle and ring fingers on one of your hands.
Use a spring ring for this massage. You can order the spring ring from Internet. If you can’t find one use an ordinary elastic band. Make movements along the phalanx of the finger as shown on figures 1 and 2.

If you have a problem with your gastrocnenius muscles concentrate the movements on the middle phalanx and if the pain is above the knee concentrate the movements on the proximal phalanx. Do this procedure for a few minutes.

Now you are going to use Moxa to heat up the area corresponding to your gastrocnenius muscles. Light up moxa and bring it close to the middle phalanx from the interior of the palm. Keep it at distance of about 1cm (?”) from the surface of the skin. Apply the heat while moving Moxa along the middle phalanx, according to figure 3.

Do this procedure till your skin gets slightly red (but be careful not burn your skin – if it’s too hot move Moxa away and then try again).

At last take red felt tip pen and mark 3 points according to figure 4.

Treatment of the Case

Now I come back to the case described in the beginning of this article.

According to Su Jok theory my patient suffered from an excess of Coldness energy. The coldness energy according to this theory can be the cause of cramps in legs.

The goal of my treatment was to reduce the Coldness energy in structure of Liver meridian. For this purpose I made acupuncture of points that can be seen on figure 5.

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.

When the knee is in pain, we tend to compensate with other body parts, in particular the femoral joints and the backbone, which are not designed to carry that extra load. After a period of such compensation, those body parts using to compensate for knee pain, start hurting as well. And off you go and start compensating for that new pain with yet other body parts, that are again not ready for that extra load. End so on, and so forth… Therefore it is very crucial to treat the knee pain as early as possible, not only because of the knee discomfort, but to keep the load off the backbone and femoral joints.

Self Treatment

Next I’m going to show you how to get rid of your knee pain or at least considerably reduce it. Using Su Jok theory, the first thing to do is to find the corresponding areas of the knee on your hand, and then stimulate those.
Find most painful points on one or several of the areas depictured on figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 (for this purpose it is 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.

Next stage is to massage areas on your fingers (phalanxes of fingers ) corresponding to your knee using a spring ring. You can order the spring ring from Internet. If you can’t find one use an ordinary elastic band. Make little movements along the phalanx of the finger as shown on figures 7 and 8.

Do this procedure a few times a day.

The next step is heating up these areas with Moxa.

After that apply buckwheat seeds to the area corresponding to your knee either on the left or right hand. This is the same technique as explained in “How To Get Rid Of Neck Pain” step 3.

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.

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.
