Therapeutic self-massage.

Take your feet in your hands...

There is a well-known saying that you cannot carry away your homeland on the soles of your boots... But in China and in the East in general they are sure that on the soles, of course, not of boots, but of our feet, you can carry away your own health!

Over the course of their centuries-old history, the wise Chinese invented not only paper, compass, silk, glass and gunpowder. They found that by massaging certain areas on the soles of the feet, it is possible to soften or even eliminate painful sensations in various parts of the body: joints, muscles, internal organs. In this way you ensure unhindered access to vital energy Qi to any organ and point of your body.

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, there are more than 60 active zones and points on the feet, and there are also important “Jingluo” channels, as well as concentrated “toxins” of the human body. Accumulating over a long period of time in the human body, toxins interfere with normal blood circulation and can cause various diseases.

Foot massage affects the reflex points of the foot, stimulating and balancing the general condition of the internal organs and the body as a whole. Relieves nervous stress, fatigue, psycho-emotional arousal, calms and puts the nervous system in order, improves metabolism and strengthens the body's defenses.
Today, reflexology, as one of the methods of non-drug therapy, has firmly entered the arsenal western medicine, and foot massage is necessary for both sick and healthy people who care about the state of their immunity and nervous system. It is known that there are points on the foot - projections of all internal organs, and by acting on them, we gently and effectively influence the functioning of the body.

Systematic foot massage will help quickly restore the harmony of body and soul.

Remember that for headaches you need to massage your thumb, for eye diseases - the two middle fingers, for ear pain - the outer toes, for problems with the spine - the inner side of the sole. The remaining options are clearly visible in the diagram below.

USING ACUPRESSURE AT HOME.

Acupuncture, a Chinese method of treatment using golden needles, has been known for more than 5 thousand years. IN Lately A modern analogue of this technique has also appeared - electropuncture. However, not everyone knows that there is another method - acupressure. In Japan, a similar technique is called shi-atsu (shi - fingers, atsu - pressure).

Acupressure treats through finger pressure.

Acupressura is a further development of acupuncture. It uses the same points and meridians into which needles are inserted during acupuncture, but acupressure rejects the use of metal in treatment, which makes the technique softer and safer, with virtually no reduction in its effectiveness. Instead of metal needles, with the same effect, the thumb and index fingers are used(you can also use your own, if available).

Pressing and pressing your fingers on the right points relieves many ailments and disorders.

Acupressure not only relieves pain, but also shortens the time of illness, eliminates dysfunction of organs, eliminates the organic consequences of neuroses: anxiety, worry, fear.

Every person who knows the most important points on the body and therapeutic indications, following the easy-to-remember rules of acupressure, will be able to help himself!

Acupressure relieves pain and effectively treats those diseases that are caused by disorders of the nervous system, and this is every second disease in our hectic times. But above all, acupressure is a reliable, safe and effective method of combating pain - and this is without any side effects . This method is especially effective when the carrier of the impact is well selected and, even more pleasant.

Acupressure does not cause pain from a needle prick, does not cause bleeding and eliminates the introduction of infection into the body. But most importantly, this doctor is always with you!

Types of reflex points

The locations of acupuncture and acupressure points are known exactly. They are located on 14 meridian lines, which have long been explored. These meridians have specific names, for example, "Big Heart" ("Master of the Heart"), "Three-degree Warmer" or "Governor Meridian", and three types of points are used on each meridian:

"Harmonizing points" - lying at the beginning and end of the meridian. Their acupressure gives harmonious echoes in all organs related to a given meridian.

"Exciting point" - only one on each meridian. Its acupressure activates the reaction and performance of organs related to this meridian.

The “calming point” is also only one on each meridian. This point suppresses, calms, relieves nervousness; the sensations during its acupressure are the most pleasant.

Relief is brought by enhanced acupressure of the system of so-called “Signal (alarm) points (“Moon points”). Each major organ has its own signal point. Correct acupressure of this point helps to immediately improve a person’s condition and, in particular, reduce pain.

In recent years of study at the Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a number of “Special Points” related to certain ailments (diseases) have been discovered.

Below are images of the most important acupressure points. This can be a “Calming Point” for sleep disorders, and a “Stimulating Point” for low blood pressure, and a “Harmonizing Point” for an anxious state of general neurosis, and a “Signal Point” for colic and joint pain, and a “Special Point”. "with a decrease in potency.

The figures below show typical locations of active points. Due to individual body features, the locations of the points may deviate within one centimeter. Using a special device that measures the resistance of the skin, reduced value resistance point location is determined with an accuracy of one millimeter. However, for acupressure such precision is excessive (the finger sizes are larger). As a rule, an accupressure point responds to strong pressure with a clear pain impulse, which makes it easier to find it in the desired area of ​​the body.

How to influence an acupressure point?

Doctors of Traditional Chinese Medicine distinguish three degrees of impact on healing points:

for acute pain and for primary treatment it is indicated application of lung circular massage of the point, which is performed with the tip of the index finger. The duration of the massage is from one to five minutes.

at chronic diseases, depending on the general condition patient, it is best and most reliable to use acupressure of medium strength. It is recommended to perform multiple massages throughout the day, the duration of acupressure is up to 30-40 seconds.

strong acupressure is performed mainly using the thumb, but other options are also possible.

When the desired active point is found on the body, touch the skin, then begin to make circular movements with the finger, shifting the skin relative to the bone or muscle tissue in a rhythm of two revolutions per second. In this case, you should pay attention to the fact that during the impact the finger constantly remains on the required point of the body.

When acting symmetrically on acupressure points, you should be especially careful.

Contraindications:

Acupressure in its simplified form cannot replace necessary medical treatment in emergency cases, but it can be used as an additional pain-relieving treatment, as well as for providing first aid.

Acupressure is contraindicated in:

severe organic diseases of the heart and circulatory systems

during pregnancy

with severe fatigue

until the skin disease at the acupressure point is cured (for example, suppuration, lichen, etc.)

Knowing the points on the hands, we can get rid of many ailments and their manifestations, pain in the shoulders and back, stress and constipation. Try these simple exercises and you will see their effectiveness.

1. Cold. To relieve the symptoms of a cold or hay fever, find the “sweet spot” located on the palm of your hand between the base of your middle and ring fingers. Using the thumb of your other hand, massage this point well for two minutes in a circular motion clockwise and counterclockwise. This massage works well if you have a headache in the eye and nose area due to sinusitis. To clear a stuffy nose, press the tips of all your fingers together tightly for a few seconds and then release. Repeat the movement 5-6 times.

2. Back pain. Using the thumb of your right hand, apply strong pressure along the entire thumb of your left hand, starting from the very base and ending with the tip of the nail. This part of the hand corresponds to the spine. By massaging it, you help relieve tension and relax the muscles that support the spine. Take turns on both hands, massage this section several times, find the solar plexus point and gently massage it. This will help relieve tension from your back and whole body.

3. Shoulder pain. Find the “shoulder point” on your palm at the base of your ring and little fingers. Using the tip of your thumb, massage the point for a minute on each hand. Shoulder pain is most often associated with poor posture, so first you need to find out what is causing your pain. If you suspect that the reason is an inconvenient workplace, try to sit firmly in a chair so that the backrest provides good support for your lower back. If, while sitting firmly in a chair, you still cannot reach the back, place a thick pillow under your back.

4. Stress. Often when we are nervous, we finger something with our hands - this is a natural reaction. To get rid of stress, under the influence of which we are in difficult times, massage your palms, as shown in the photo. Also massage the solar plexus point, located in the middle of the palm (see. general scheme). Using the tip of your thumb, massage this point in a circular motion for two to three minutes.

5. Headache. To feel instant relief, do this simple massage - feel the tip of your thumb and determine its most sensitive point, then massage this place with a confident movement of the other thumb. Repeat the same with the other hand. If the headache does not go away, then its cause is probably due to back problems - poor posture, tension in the back. If you often suffer from headaches, it is better to consult a doctor to identify the true cause of the problem.

6. Irritable bowel syndrome. Stimulate points that affect digestion by drawing a curved line along the contour of the palm from the base of the thumb to the little finger. Massage for 2 minutes, then repeat the same with the other hand. Another effective way to get rid of indigestion is to stimulate the corresponding points on the feet. To do this, place a tennis ball on the floor, step on it with the center of your foot and roll in circles for 3 minutes.

Activation point
strength.
If you put all your fingertips together, it will be in
hole in the center of the palm. If you feel lethargic, lack of energy, apathy,
drowsiness, massage this point.

Heat point.
Is located
the pad of the upper phalanx of the middle finger. Impact on the point helps
warm up, stimulates metabolism, relieves anxiety. You can
massage in exciting situations, before an exam or important
meeting.

Heart point. Located on the pad of the upper phalanx
little finger. Helps with heart palpitations.

Sexy point. This
stoma located at a distance of 3 mm. upward from the beginning of nail growth
ring finger. If you have lost interest in the opposite sex or have decreased
sexuality, you need to unblock the energy flows passing through the meridian
ring finger.
It's not just that they wear a wedding band on it
ring. I read somewhere that wearing a tight wedding ring all the time
negatively affects sexual function, especially in men, because their
metal - gold. Ours is silver, it doesn’t threaten us. But basically, when we
ring ourselves, this is a symbol of calming down the riot of desires, and not at all
vice versa.

Correction of well-being
If you need to restore
balance, if you are unsettled, try rubbing your wrists. Through
Many meridians pass through the wrists; a huge number of magic points lie here.
Some have a calming effect, others, on the contrary, activate
movement of energy. But since we are not acupuncturists and will not be able to find the ones we need,
We simply ring the wrist with our fingers and rub it with rotational movements.
This will bring the body into balance and normalize well-being by approximately
cold-hot shower principle.
There's another one magic point which I
I use it if I have a headache. It is located between the thumb and forefinger
finger at the intersection of the bones. Then the thumb will lie approximately in the middle
life lines, index on the back of the palm (or vice versa). Here
you need to press hard. If it hurts, then the point has been found. Three to four active
pressing and you don’t have to go for a pill.

These cleansing and rejuvenating exercises that allow you to reset
stress and bring the body into balance:
"Pose
lion"
Sit down, stretch your arms straight out in front of you, open wide
eyes and an even wider mouth. Reach forward with tense arms, stick out your tongue like
as far as possible and try to touch the tip of your tongue to your chin. Try
better. Goal: to break the characteristic facial muscle pattern acquired
by repeating the same facial expressions and increase blood flow to
muscles.
This pose also helps with sore throat.

"Kahoon"
This
practice maintains energy balance in the body. Standing, kick three times
with your right foot, imagining that you are freeing yourself from unnecessary energies. The same
do it with your left foot. Don't throw away "dirt" where you usually spend a lot of time
time.

"Cry from the heart"
Raise your arms above your head and throw them
sharply down, emitting a wild scream. It is with him that every
disgusting. Repeat three times. Then stand still with your arms extended downwards, slowly
raise them, making a "rising sound" that replaces everything negative
positive. Repeat three times. I don’t risk screaming wildly in my apartment.
They'll also put you in a mental hospital...

Chinese medicine believes that the basis of longevity is the impact on biologically active points on the human body. They are everywhere: on the arms, head, back, stomach. More than 70 thousand nerve endings are concentrated in the feet. They form reflexogenic zones associated with the work of various systems and organs. For this reason, a person who regularly massages his feet and walks barefoot receives a boost of energy for the prevention and treatment of various diseases.

Projection of internal organs onto the feet

Biologically active points of the foot are located along its entire surface. The Chinese believe that the foot is a map of internal organs, which can be used to diagnose health conditions. And by influencing active points, you can promote rapid recovery. To imagine how massage points are located on the foot, you need to visualize a person in the fetal position.

The inner part of the foot is responsible for the functioning of the spine. Fingers - behind the head, with the thumb - the brain (at the edge of the finger is the pineal gland, in the center - the pituitary gland), the other four fingers - paranasal sinuses nose Points on the foot for massage, responsible for the eyes, are located at the base of the index and middle fingers and partially cover the area of ​​the ring finger.

The points on the left foot that are responsible for the organs correspond to the anatomy of the left side of the body. The location of biological active zones for the right foot is similar. At the root of the little finger and ring finger there is a zone that corresponds to the ears. The points responsible for the lungs are located a centimeter below the eye area.

On the left foot, closer to the outer side, there is a zone corresponding to the work of the heart. In a similar area, but on right foot, there are areas of the liver and gall bladder. The pancreas is located on the inside of the feet, just below the lung area. Right there, but even lower, is the stomach area.

Along the spine there are the thyroid and pancreas glands, the stomach, and the colon originates transversely. The heels are responsible for the buttocks, the central lower zone of the heel corresponds to the reproductive system.

What are the points?

On following diagram all areas responsible for organs are indicated more clearly.

According to Chinese healers, all points on the soles of the feet are located on 14 meridians, each of which is classified as one of the types: Master of the Heart, Greater Heart or Three-Degree Warmer (Governor Meridian). There are 3 types of points on each meridian:

• excitation point. It is one on each meridian and when exposed to it, the work of the organ for which it is responsible is activated;
• calm point. It is one on each meridian and when it is activated in the corresponding organ, a feeling of peace arises, the body relaxes, pressure and nervous tension go away;
• harmonization point. It is always located at the beginning or end of the meridian, exposure to it normalizes the condition of the organs located on this meridian, leading to general relaxation of the body.

To find the necessary points, you should palpate the foot: when you find the active spot, the body will react painfully to touch. If there are health problems, dryness and sweating may appear in the area of ​​the foot where the organ in need of treatment is located.

Basic rules of self-massage

To get the maximum benefit from the procedure, it is better to contact acupressure and acupuncture specialists, but you can also do self-massage, pressing on points on the sole of the foot as a preventive measure. Stimulation of reflexogenic points activates the functioning of organs, improving lymphatic drainage and blood circulation.

First, you should relieve tension from your feet, stretch them: walk on your toes, take a salt bath, sit in a comfortable position and feel your foot, listen to the sensations.

The massage should begin with the fingers. Each needs to be developed separately. After this, using strong pressure, you can begin massaging the top of the foot. Then smoothly move to the inside and outside, and then move to the ankle and heel.

Pain points are kneaded with circular movements. If there is a specific health problem, you need to stimulate not just one point, but also neighboring ones. Just 5 minutes every day is enough to feel better, get rid of tension, and strengthen your immune system.

To reduce the likelihood of colds and other illnesses, it is important to keep your feet warm and wear comfortable shoes.

Contraindications

Before starting treatment, you should familiarize yourself with the contraindications. Acupuncture should not be performed in the following cases:

• pregnancy;
• blood clotting disorder;
• acute infections and pathologies during exacerbation;
• venous thrombosis;
• pathologies on the skin in the place where the biologically active point is located;
• embolism in the acute stage.

Biologically active points, located on the palms, is a means that it would be a sin not to use! The Chinese believe that these special points are located on the meridians along which vital energy circulates. By influencing them, we can heal any disease!

Your whole world fits in the palm of your hand, and these are not pompous words! Stimulation of these points helped me get rid of headaches and chronic insomnia. I'm sure this simple therapy will help you feel much better.

Chinese medicine, in which direct treatment and overall impact on the human body occurs through acupuncture.

The Chinese believed that there are a large number of points on the human body, which, when properly influenced, nerve impulse sent to to a certain body. For each organ there are several important points.

What are biologically active centers?

Acupuncture teaches not only how to find points, but also how to influence them correctly so as not to harm the body. Acupuncture, like all Chinese traditional medicine, is a very subtle and complex science.

Each part of the body: leg, back, face, stomach is a kind of smaller copy of the whole organism, therefore, acupuncture points responsible for the most important organs for life are located in extremely small areas.

The hands are the same “copy”, the most important are the palms.

It is not possible to see such points with the naked eye, but they can be easily felt.

The points are small depressions, “pits” on the body, pressing on which can cause slight pain. Such places can be more accurately determined using electrotherapy: acupuncture points respond less strongly to electrical impulses.

When you press an acupuncture (biologically active) point, a short-term painful sensation occurs, which transmits a nerve impulse to the brain, from where, after processing, the signal is sent to the corresponding organ.

In this case, the stronger the impulse sent by the brain will be, the large quantity points will be activated simultaneously. But at the same time Only one organ can be affected at a time, otherwise the effect will be much weaker.

Acupuncture

What organs is our palm “responsible for”? And where are the corresponding points located? Here is a detailed diagram.

Our palm is small, but there are about 20 points on it, which are responsible for 15 different organs. At the same time, there are several special points that are used for chronic different organ systems.

• Thyroid function is under the control of a point that is located exactly in the middle of the thumb - in the bend of the two phalanges.
• There is a point on the adjacent index finger that controls work of the heart muscle. It is located under the second phalanx, in the very bend of the finger.
• Two more centers are responsible for the performance of the heart on the fingers: one of them is located in the center of the first phalanx of the third finger, the second - on the fold above this phalanx. With normal pressure on these centers, slight tingling sensations may occur in the area of ​​the heart.

Throat area controlled by two centers. One of them (under the second phalanx of the third finger) responsible for the work of trochees, second (in the same place, but on the ring finger) - for the performance of the bronchi.

With slight pressure on these points in the throat, a sore sensation may appear.

For the liver and spleen Two acupuncture centers respond. They are located between the pads of the index and middle fingers, located next to each other, but the impact should be either on any one of these points, or on both at once.

Nausea and dizziness may occur with minor exposure.

Stomach and entire digestive system is regulated by points that can be found under the first phalanx of the little finger (one point) and in the center of the palm on a conditional line that connects the thumb and middle finger (another center).

The reaction to these points consists only of minor painful sensations.

• A little lower, exactly under these “pits”, are located centers of influence on the intestines. Perhaps these are the only points when pressed on which there is practically no sensation.

Biologically active centers affect not only physical body a person, on his organs, but also on the spiritual component.

Several points nearby at the base of the thumb are responsible for activity various departments brain, the nervous system is controlled by centers located at the tips of each of the ten fingers on both hands.

There are points that control emotions. For example, the same “pit” that controls the functioning of the stomach is responsible for passion. But this passion is sensual.

A point located much higher, on the inner crease of the elbow, is responsible for the desire for intimacy.. This same center provides internal energy and stimulation.

Personal qualities, such as creativity, the ability for self-realization, and self-awareness, can also be controlled with the help of acupuncture - there is only one center and it is located on the wrist, at the very point where we measure the pulse.

What is acupuncture and what are its benefits?

Firstly, this is a simple and accessible way for every person to influence their body in the event of some sudden painful sensations. Although acupuncture is a subtle teaching, it can be mastered with due diligence.

Secondly, acupuncture is very effective in cases where doctors cannot make a medical conclusion about the disease without special examinations.

Impact on certain acupuncture centers will temporarily delay the development of the disease, but, unfortunately, you won’t be able to get rid of it completely, so you need to undergo medical professional treatment.

Where are the most important points located?

So, for periodontal disease or stomatitis you need to find a point on the hand, which the Chinese call "lao gong". If you clench your hand into a fist, it is between the ring and middle fingers, in the middle of the palm.

It also helps restore normal well-being after heat and sunstroke, pain in the heart area, return of appetite, elimination of arthritis and vomiting.

The second important point, according to the Chinese, is "nei-guan"– should be looked for on the wrist, in the fold between two tendons. This is truly a magical point because it relieves absolutely any pain.

If the pain is very severe, then longer exposure to the center is necessary, but the pain will pass. Also sleep, blood pressure and heartbeat are normalized.

Some minor nervous system disorders can also be corrected with this acupuncture center.

Third point - "shao-hai"– located in the elbow bend on the inside. It is used when minor frostbite of various extremities, with insomnia and tachycardia.

When dealing with frostbite, it should be remembered that it is important to influence the center itself, directly on the human body, through the skin, so this acupuncture center can only be used in warm rooms, so as not to freeze the person even more.

Next center - "jiquan"– is no longer on the hand, but at the level of the fold below the large pectoral muscle and in the fold of the biceps brachii muscle closer to the chest.

This center is the only one on the body and is used with pinched intercostal nerve and pericarditis.

Many Chinese traditional healers they say it's the same point calms a person during hysteria.

The fifth important center is "Shen-men". It can be found in the crease of the wrist between the tendons. This point is a salvation for people who have problems with the heart and circulatory system: poor circulation, rapid heartbeat, angina pectoris.

Frequent headaches, migraines, mental fatigue, dizziness, eye pain, numbness in the tips of the fingers and toes, constant dryness in the mouth and too pale skin of the face are those disturbances in the functioning of the body that can be corrected by the influence of acupuncture on this center.

Use of acupuncture centers

Many Western experts believe that home acupuncture treatment is extremely unsafe. First of all, this is due to the fact that you may miss the target and damage nearby tissue, which may result in hematomas, vomiting, and nausea.

This is in best case scenario. At worst, you can damage nerves and even internal organs; a poorly sterilized needle can introduce infection into the body, including HIV infection.

Therefore, only specialists are advised to use it. You can conduct sessions yourself, but only after you have fully mastered all the intricacies of science.

Rules for influencing acupuncture points:

1. Needles must be thoroughly sterilized before each use. Even if you use acupuncture at home, on yourself, the needles still need to be sterilized before use.
2. The body must be warm, not cold, so as not to damage skin tissues and organs.
3. Acupuncture must be performed in accordance with the appropriate instructions for each individual case.
4. The procedure must be carried out by specialists so as not to cause harm.

Hand massage

Not acupuncture, but a simple hand massage can work wonders. Like any other massage, hand massage relaxes not only this part of the body, but the whole body as a whole.

In addition, some acupuncture centers are used to improve the body’s performance and partially eliminate existing problems in the functioning of our body.

Hand massage is performed slowly, gradually increasing the impact on the hands. Usually the hands are simply flexed using the same movements as the back, but it is advisable not to slap the hands.

Movements must be carried out from above, from the shoulders, down, to the fingers. The palms are massaged slowly, special attention is paid to problem points; if there is pain, just gently stroke them.

So, acupuncture is a good and convenient way to treat yourself at home, it doesn’t take much time, but in the absence of proper knowledge it can only cause harm. Any traditional medicine, especially oriental medicine, requires great skill and precision.

Preface and Introduction

Preface

The problem of health today worries the entire population of the globe. And it is very important to be able to give each person a method with which he could provide himself with pre-medical assistance, and then engage in self-healing.

In the days of our grandparents, when access to a doctor was limited to the ability to deliver a doctor to a patient, every family could practically provide themselves with pre-medical care. As a result, many were able to maintain their health and save the lives of themselves and their loved ones.

These activities were approved by doctors. Arriving when called, they found their patients in satisfactory condition.

Today we are back to a situation where getting patients to a doctor is difficult. Only a few doctors handle house calls.

True, in all cases where this is necessary, you can find a qualified doctor at your request. If you cannot or do not want to do this, then there is an alternative. This is the method your ancestors used to prevent illness and save themselves.

Many doctors are interested in and study traditional medicine, methods passed down from generation to generation.

One of them is acupuncture, or the well-known Shiatsu method, which is used with great success.

Nowadays acupuncture has taken over the whole world, but not everyone can find a qualified acupuncturist. Fortunately, this publication - real help anyone who wants to master the technique of applying finger pressure to acupuncture points without the use of needles.

Doctors of all professions - physical therapists, therapists, and other specialists - study this technique to help themselves and their patients.

The type of acupuncture that will be discussed is called acupressure. The method can be used at any time of the day with with minimal effort. F.M. Houston has used this system admirably for many years. He created classrooms everywhere and taught this method. But not everyone who wanted to had the opportunity to learn, and not everyone could remember everything.

Now F.M. Houston published the book. It provides you with the opportunity to master acupressure, and if you forget something, you can always find the necessary pages and remember.

No one can buy health, no matter how rich he is, but you can strengthen it and prolong your life if you know how to help yourself. And for this you need to learn the technique of acupressure.

You have nothing to lose by spending a little money and buying this wonderful book. It will become one of your treasures.

Introduction

At the end of the 19th century, the famous English scientist M. Faraday, who first invented the electric motor, made a very wise statement: “All schoolchildren know that matter consists of atoms that vibrate at different speeds and therefore form different densities; but we must also know that any substance - solid, liquid or gaseous - no matter what energy it possesses, owes its origin to the type electric charge(or vibration) emitted by this substance."

Any good physics book will tell you that energy cannot be destroyed, it can only be moved. It cannot be seen because it is invisible, but the energy can leave the body and when this happens we become weaker and weaker. The generator of electricity in the body is the heart. If you have ever met someone who has had a heart attack, they have probably told you how it felt like the energy was leaving their body.

Our body is electrical in nature, it has positive and negative poles. The heart represents the negative pole, the brain, its right side, the positive. There must be a balance between the heart and the brain.

Contact healing is a method of bringing electrical centers in the body into contact. Balance and good physical condition must be restored in order for health to be restored. Acupuncture, practiced for centuries in Eastern countries, is a proven system that creates a smooth flow of vibrating energy throughout the body by contacting various points located along the pathways connecting various organs, glands and cells. The acupuncturist uses steel needles. He places them at those points that are associated with certain areas of the body and their disorders. By changing the distorted vibration, balance is restored and the body can bring itself into good condition.

Contact treatment can be carried out without the use of needles; the method consists of pressing on the points with your fingertips. If an organ, part of the body or gland is not in order, then the point associated with it will be painful, and this indicates a leak of energy in this place.

Once you have identified the painful area, place your fingertip on it, press firmly and hold there. Don't move your finger, or only move it over the area where the pain is felt. This pressure will stop the leakage of energy. Once you have done this, the polarity changes sign and the energy flows back to the part of the body that was losing it. Gradually you will feel warmth in the organ being treated; this indicates that energy restoration has begun. When there is no longer pain at the pressure point, you can be sure that the recovery is complete.

Acupuncture requires one or more treatments. Contact therapy usually takes longer. IN contact therapy changes rarely occur after the first procedure. But the more you treat the points, the sooner you will become vigorous and healthy again.

But please remember that this or any other treatment does not cure anything! We can help or influence nature, but only nature itself is the true healer.

Since 1956, contact therapy has spread widely in many countries, many letters testify: this therapy is useful, almost everyone can use it profitably.

I'm just asking you to try as others have done. I don’t promise anything; you can judge the effectiveness of the treatment yourself based on the results. This will prove to you much more than any promises. However, I emphasize that if you want to succeed, be persistent. If your disease is advanced, treatment will take longer than treatment for a disease that has recently arisen.

At least the system is safe, simple and free. You will lose nothing and gain a lot if you are persistent and conscientious until you achieve good health.

F.M. Houston, D.S.

Acupressure points on the body

How often should pressure points be treated?

By pressing on any painful center on the head, face or body, you immediately begin to help the corresponding organ or tissue. For example, if you have knee pain, there has been no accident or sprain, and point "43" (which refers to the knee) is not painful, then knee pain may be a symptom most likely of kidney disease, which you can verify by checking. finding the “37” point and checking if it is painful. If so, treat your kidneys.

If in your research you find a painful point, but do not know its name and did not find the number in the list of points, still treat it somehow. She calls for help. If the point you need to apply pressure is located so that it cannot be reached, ask a friend for help.

Pressing can be done with the pads of the index or middle finger, or you can strengthen the index finger by placing the middle finger on it, or you can press with the pads of the index and middle fingers, placing them side by side. For some points, such as "10M" or "17", it is much easier to use the pad of your thumb.

After examining the energy centers of the body and finding that touching one of them causes pain, first make a small, quick circular motion with your index or middle finger. This is a massage movement.

For an emergency, every family should have some medical information to provide first aid.

Don't forget that all people are individual. The diagrams shown show contact point placement, but if you are thinner, fatter, or have a different build, your contact point may be slightly offset. It's not a problem.

The diseases or disorders you wish to treat are listed in the index in alphabetical order with corresponding contact point numbers.

The pressure on the points should be strong, but not to such an extent as to cause acute pain. Remember not to press too hard. The longer and more often, the better. In all serious, acute or chronic cases treat the point daily in the first week, then 2-3 times a week, and finally 1 time a week. This is determined by your own needs. Sometimes it will take a long time for the condition to improve, and sometimes it will happen incredibly quickly.
