Vocal cords colour changes

Change in colour for vocal cords, like whitening, even if doesn't bring troubles yet,

indicates energy disbalance in the region, for whitening this means the excess of Dryness

energy.

This may reflect energy imbalance in general and should be seen as a warning.

For example, growing excess of Dryness may indicate:

--- coming voice disfunction, shortage of vocal function of any sort

--- formation of vocal fold ulcers in the future

--- emotions of sadness, disappointment

Vocal cords mapping and treatment

Vocal cords may be mapped on the palm according to general principles

of Su-jok acupuncture:

Then, vocal folds (and for example ventricular folds) may be mapped
by points to treat by acu tools.

Points are in 6 Qi system (left) and Triorigin energies

(right), of course, points are situated symmetrically on both folds

for both systems.

This allows treatment for the whole mapped region if a disease

affects it, like:

1.inflammation, thickening 

2.vocal folds tension problems

3. Spasmodic disphonia

4. Vocal cord paresis (or paralysis)

etc.

The same to show better the position of points on the

palm.

 

Real location of folds and points needs examining the actual angle the folds form for a person when relaxed and when they are closed at singing.

There may be more detailed mapping the cords in zones corresponding to energies
in 6 or 8 Qi  and Triorigin:

This scheme will be useful to correct a wide range

of problems, because it links every zone along the vocal fold to an specific energy, and can easily give  acupuncture recipes to treat a particular disorder
located there.

For example:

1. local problems like a gap remaining in some region

at singing, when vocal folds are normally fully closed

2. local benign neoplasms, referred as widly spread type of disorders: polyps and especially vocal folds nodules.

3. contact granuloma the vocal folds ulcer

And  what Su-jok acupuncture may be special for, disorders of emotional origin.

Emotions have strong influence on voice; singers extensively use their vocal system and have especially developed links between emotions and vocal cords.

Every emotion can be linked to a specific energy like grief, sadness is harmful energy of Dryness and get treatment right on vocal folds zones (more in next posts).
