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.

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.
