Stroke

2 types of stroke:
--- ishemic stroke
--- hemorragic stroke

First involves mainly Yin or Gomo pathogenic energies:
--- Dryness - spasm
--- Cold - severe lack of circulation, possible necrosis, all types of loss of function
(paralysis is ultimate Gomo = Yin energy of Darkness)
--- formation of blood clots is harmful Dampness
--- on the other hand, artherium embolism is harmful energy of Burn

Second is a combination of Yin and Yang energies:
--- hemorrage - energy of Heat, if massive and fast developing - energy of Burn
--- energies of Dryness and Cold like was written above.
--- energy of Dampness (or Burn if fast developing) - compression
of tissue because of bleeding, also blood clots .

This means both show a complex combination of Yin and Yang type of energies 
to access in each case.
In general treatment needs to include all pathogenis energies; in case of rapidly developing
life-threatening symptomes one should focus on them.

An example of treatment for hemorragic stroke based on general symptomes:

Treatment is in order of numbers,
description of Nail system and points has been given earlier.






Heat (circulation system)--->Heat (cardiovscular system)--->Burn (nerv. system)---> Light (brain): Cold, Heat, Dampness sedate, Burn tone up
Points describe:
--- 0,1, 2 - path to brain vessels
--- 3  - sedation of Cold - main stroke energy
--- 4 - sedation of Heat - stopping bleeding
--- 5 - sedation of Dampness - balancing fluids and reducing intracranial pressure
--- 6 - tone up Burn - opposite energy to Cold.
Burn also increases bleeding and intracranial pressure, used after these problems 
have been solved.

Self-treatment:
--- marking points by colour pen
--- taping natural crystals of the same colours
Also, may be heating the taped crystals by 3 incense sticks tied together, in a sequence, perpendicular
to all points, each for 1 min (average time).

There exist mapping of brain on palm, virtually every zone can be treated:

This allows local action on the zones of bleeding.















There is also reflex zone for brain on 1-st phalange of thumb:

Treatment methods for non-professionals are the same as described earlier, for example:

Diabetes case, chronopuncture

A scheme based on the moment a diabetes sufferer has slipped into coma,
March 29:

Points are in the  middle on joints lines like
on the pic, size 2-3 mm.

The scheme is simple and safe enough to allow self-treatment on professional level:
--- heating the points in a sequence, this is critical,
by 2-3 incense sticks tied together or a special moxa cigar, holding it perpendicular to points at comfortable distance for pleasant flow of heat.





Each point heated for 30 sec to 2 min, start with 30 sec.
One may as usual do standard self-treatment:
--- tape green natural crystals size 2-3 mm onto for 0.5 to several hours up to next day
--- or tape green or black plant seeds like lentils or black pepper grains.
Blackseed is especially effective, 2-3 as a cluster onto each point.
Good idea to heat the points as described then tape crystals or seeds, or even first tape crystals 
or seeds then heat them on points.

If combine such scheme with the one for current day, this can help in most serious cases.

Diabetes, type 1, easy scheme

Easy-to-use self-treatment scheme.
Serious diabetes case may be regarded as even more cruel condition than cancer, because cancer
is Gomo = Cold disease speaking of it's root energy, however diabetes may be rendered a quality of Neitro-disease (together with certain types of incorrect heart beating and more).

In breif, Gomo=Yin and Hetero=Yang are "natural" energies for disease so far all diseases are classified 
as Yin or Yang type in classic Chinese medicine.

Su-jok medicine broadens this adding Neitro (and Neito) forces, and it's Neitro force which has natural power to bring Yin and Yang in harmony.

Diabetes is also Gomo = Yin disease as the main harmful energies are Dryness and Cold, but it strikes endocrinal system - Neitro.
Besides, being considered as autoimmune disease, it also relates to Neitro energy. 

Thus if the energy which is universal healer is affected, this may be worse than Yin-Yang imbalance 
and also means healing of diabetes may be more complex than "average" cancer.

The general scheme:

Dampness--->Dampness: Gomo sedate, Hetero tone up

points are on joints line, view from top
of fingers!

Self-treatment::
--- massaging points in a sequence by smth like a round tip of pencil
--- tape natural crystals of the same colour onto points
--- or red and green plant seeds like carrot or 
guelder rose and lentils.

This scheme is given in Spiral system horizontal meridians (chronic case) and is most safe.


Professional treatment should involve boyl-chakras as Gomo-component of energy system, besides, there may be individual schemes for diabetes complications like ulcers, retinopathia etc.
It's possible to combine several such schemes into one in Spiral System.
Time Energies treatment stays valuable as for other diseases and maybe more, considering nature
of Time Energies.

Earthquake in Japan - emergency acupuncture help II

Healing by Chronopuncture:

Points are 2-3 mm size:
--- massaging points by smth like round tip of a pencil in the sequence
--- taping anything green - natural crystals, glass, etc, onto them
--- easy heating - in the sequence - holding a tool perpendicular to points, 30 sec-1 min for each point, or until a pleasant warm sensation at each point.

May be done 2 times a day in the morning and 
evening.

http://acupunctureforsingers.blogspot.com/2009/11/basic-energy-points-guidance.html
heating of points by an incense sticks 2-3 tied together, or just a burning piece of wood as described 
helps fight cold and damp conditions.
Also, massage of thymus zone, below.

Easy acupuncture to help acute depression and emotional trauma:

 Points are 2-3 mm size on flesh around nails, at 45* to each other.
--- massaging points by smth like round tip of a pencil in the sequence
--- taping anything of the same colour as points - natural crystals, glass, plastic pieces, onto them
--- easy heating - in a sequence - holding a tool perpendicular at points at a comfortable distance, 
30 sec-1 min for each point, or until a pleasant warm sensation at each point 


Also, treatment in Correspondence systems for emotional traumas:

position of organs on the palm

organs on finger.
Finger choice may be both index 
fingers


Green spot is thymus












One can massage:
--- heart zone
--- kidneys zone - second pic
--- head zone and zone for brain - above eyebrows on the pic
these together can lower high blood pressure
Also:
 --- liver - anger outbursts and frustration
--- kidneys - fear attacks
--- stomach+spleen+ pancreas - anxiety and anxiety attacks
--- lungs - grief
Massage of adrenals - right above kidneys - help mobilize energy.
Massage of thymus zone stimulates immune system.

Cosmetic issues - Arnold Schwarzenegger

Not going to be embarassing, but speaking of mr.Arnold it's a bit hard to specify a special zone for treatment 
so far virtually all areas of his face might be potential targets for cosmetic correction.
It's obvious this is not by any means to upset the famous actor, however one area seems to need more 
attention:

The area around mouth, generally the same as for
Reese Witherspoon but more pronounced and spread over bigger zone, indicating use of Triorigin schemes.

The skin folds cross the whole Neito area,
lowest part of face (the same in fact also applies to Sylvester Stallone)

 

Neitro (head, face)--->Neito: Gomo sedate, 

Hetero tone up

Next scheme will also be useful:



root joint of middle finger also represents:

--- "Internal Cold charka"

--- "Lower Core meridian "
in "Diamond Energy system".

Both allow action on fundamantal level:
--- Cold chakra regulates state of bones, kidneys/bladder
--- Lower Core meridian supplies energy to everything in body below diaphragm, so every
disorder there reveals in it's state.

Treatment for non-professionals was given in the post on Sandra Bullock. 


For an human who has created such a real supermachine as Terminator there must be something supercharged in terms of healing scheme:

Experimental approach which was seemingly first developed to fight AIDS through work with immune system, acting on a virus genome incorporated in T-helpers lymphocyte cells since having attacked immune system.
(Russian Su-jok Academy, according to the abstract of an article on their site). 
This is based on a retrovirus concept and appears promising.





It's not clear if this is to be standard level for cosmetic issues to be treated like cancer and AIDS, however one may think action on such level will seemingly bring about very fundamental changes in one's immune system and similarly fundamental changes in health in general. 

Treatment was given in the post on Sandra Bullock.  

Cosmetic issues - Reese Witherspoon

the mouth region.

Generally can be targetted by:

Dryness (skin) ---> Burn (head)---> Dryness (mouth): Gomo (wrinkles) sedate, Hetero (opposite energy) tone up

The scheme in Nails system:

colour of points is colour for
natural crystals to tape on




Treatment in more details in:
http://acupunctureforsingers.blogspot.com/2011/02/evaluation-of-one-particular-cosmetic.html 

This is not to scare, but the sequence Burn--->Dryness in clinical terms describes potential degenerative processes in nerv. system also in pancreas and duodenum (usually ulcer).
In fact, ulcerisation is often caused by stress, the same origin as for wrinkles.

Cosmetic issues - Sylvester Stallone

 
Area of forehead:
Heat--->Cold
the full sequence:
Burn (head) --->Heat (from eyebrows to hair)--->Cold (forehead) ---> Dryness (skin):Dryness sedate, Heat tone up

On the level of body energies different parts of this sequence may be:
1. formally the sequence Heat--->Cold is a path to kidneys;
Heat--->Cold (kidneys)--->Dryness may mean insufficiency of kidneys energy.
2. Heat may be cardiovascular system, which is most common meaning for this energy. So Heat--->Cold as Cold in cardiovascular system in 95% cases causes heart attack.



So far he told he has arthritis:
--- bones are controlled by energy of Cold
--- energy of Cold also controls kidneys 
this means the kidneys path, insufficient kidneys energy (Dryness) responsible for arthritis


The scheme:

treatment in previous post.
Working with these schemes will gradually eradicate potential health problems corresponding to
simple cosmetic imperfections.

 Second - wrinkles spreading from eyes corners.
They are symmetrical about vertical median line which indicates using the "Local Independent Energy Circulation", so they may belong to:
--- Heat energy
--- Dryness energy
First sequence for forehead gives hint for Heat energy, present in the sequence, so assuming both wrinkles areas caused by the same factor, the sequence for eyes corners:

(Wind)--->Heat---> Dryness

Sequence Heat--->Dryness is, generally speaken:

--- ischemic disease for cardiovascular system

--- general scheme to treat acute depression
so once again pure cosmetic problems may point to potential troubles or existing problems on 
fundamental level. 

In Chinese medicine eyes are controlled by energy of Wind, Wind also controls liver+gall bladder.
Many cases of cosmetic isssues for eyes area go together with liver/gall bladder problems.

Shortened sequences like:

Burn--->Heat--->Dryness:Dryness sedate, Heat tone up

Burn--->Heat: the same

Burn:the same

may give faster effect however less specific for the region (energy is spread on larger and larger
area).
This is good to correct health in general through hints from cosmetic field.

Cosmetic issues - Sandra Bullock II

More fundamental Triorigin schemes mentioned in previous post:
For upper part of neck: 

Neito ---> Neitro: Gomo (wrinkles) sedate, Hetero (opposite energy) tone up

For underjaw area (earlier given a scheme "Burn--->Cold--->Dryness") but in Triorigin:

Neitro ---> Neito: Gomo (wrinkles) sedate, Hetero (opposite energy) tone up

Though more simple, allows treatment on more fundemental level.
What immediately reveals, is that both schemes are "symmetrical"
--- Neitro ---> Neito for face
--- Neito ---> Neitro for neck
which can't be a coincidence.





Skin relates to energy of Dryness, Dryness also controlls body defense mechanisms.
Smth harmful which makes one frown attacks body defense mechanisms which reacts as musclar contraction, and constant action causes wrinkles in a place relative to where immune system is affected.


This allows to directly treat the weakened part of immune system, based on cosmetic problem areas:
[Heat--->Darnkess (thymus, bone marrow, hemopoetic system)]---> [energy sequence posted earlier: Burn--->Cold--->Dryness]

This may even lead to physical rejuvenation, unfortunately work with immune system is too serious  for non-professionals.

Cosmetic issues - Sandra Bullock

Evaluation of one particular cosmetic issue of wonderful and extremely talented actress Sandra Bullock.

The idea to discuss such things publicly, hopefully, will be understood as a share to improve things not embarass.

Head and face are generally controlled by energy of Burn, and:
---the underjaw area is located in the zone controlled by energy of Cold 
--- wrinkles and skin folds generally relate to energy of Dryness
which gives the recipe:
Burn--->Cold--->Dryness(skin): Dryness (folds) sedate, Heat (+Wind, opposite energies) tone up











For upper part of neck the area covers roughly 1/4 of neck which indicates using more general Triorigin energies: 
--- Neito 
--- Gomo (summing up Dampness, Dryness and Cold)
--- Hetero (summing up Wind, Heat and Burn)
--- Neitro

Basic scheme:Heito (neck)---> Neitro: Gomo (skin flods) sedate, Hetero (opposite energy) tone up








The scheme in Nails System:

A pair of red points beside is 2-d version of treatment:
--- points get the same places as points 3 and 5 and treated: first right then left
--- point 4 is not used, one proceeds to point 6 and 7

Treatment for non-professionals:
--- massaging points - in a sequence - by smth like round tip of a pencil
--- taping natural crystals of the same colours onto points, for several hours up to 24 hours a day.
After use to be put into a salted water 1 teaspoon for a glass, for 24 hours.
--- easy heating: by an incense stick or several sticks tied together, - in a sequence - holding it
perpendicular to the points, each for 30 sec-1 min, or until a pleasant warm sensation at every
point.

What may look as issue for cosmetic improvement, on a deeper level indicates general imbalance of body energies, for example for the first sequence:
Burn--->Cold--->Dryness
if take the last 2 energies, excess of Dryness (infufficience of energy, potential decline of function, potential fibrosis) in Cold - kidneys.
So getting treated, can change one's health in general and prevent potential problems develop into actual diseases, together with benefits of better looking.

So far Burn is nerv. system, the full sequence points to, for example, innervation of a part of left leg
for women, more serious conditions for the same sequence are not for this blog. 

Task-specific focal distonia V

For one of cases described here:
Schemes in Local Systems:

Points are chosen slightly differently to the previous
schemes for the effect to be combined when doing them together.

Zones to massage, moxa heating, attach palnt seeds
etc.

Task-specific focal distonia IV

http://acupunctureforsingers.blogspot.com/2010/02/acupuncture-regardless-of-particular.html
The Energies Constitution for a person related to one of cases of FD discussed here:

The 3 energies are in excess:
--- Wind
--- Dryness
--- Cold
so other 3 are insufficient: 
--- Heat
--- Burn
--- Dampness





The potential disease:
1. may be created by any of or all energies in excess
2. the striken organs or systems relate to incufficient energies:
--- Heat: cardiovascular system, thyroid in endocrinal system, left elbow for men and right for women ( for sportsmen) etc.
--- Burn: nerv. system, eyes problems etc.
--- Dampness: lymphatic system, stomach/spleen, pancreas as endocrinal gland - diabetes.


For the problems in nerv. system this Constitution means:
--- Wind: movement disorders
--- Dryness: degenerative processes, shortage of functions
--- Cold: serious disruption and loss of functions
examples are multiple sclerosis, Parkinsonism etc.

This also matches the task-specific focal distonia which doesn't create physical changes

in body but has the same pathogenic energies behind.

If constantly compensate the insufficient energies this makes one generally stronger and less affected by harmful factors, more stable emotionally and mentally.

This may be done for example, in most fundamental Diamond Energy System on Border Meridians:

Sedating Wind, Dryness and Cold,
toning up Heat, Burn and Dampness.

Task-specific focal distonia III

Analysis of another case tells there is energy disbalance in mouth region linked to it, which 
reveals as different muscles tone for lips muscles and relate to "external chakra of Wind":
Energy of Wind powers all movements in body including involuntary (breath).

 Fingers for the treatment are:
--- both little fingers, relating to Energy Constitution and
in general and energy of Wind in particular
--- both ring fingers, left one is controlled by energy of
Burn, the same for Nerv.system
--- also, both middle fingers, considering this very case and
as most fundamantal energies of Light and Darkness.

Zones at right are specific for this case.

Triorigin Time Energies treatment

An example of treatment with known moment when problem first time appeared,
March 6, 2010, 

There are 2 basic techniques for such approach:
1. Working on the points as "Open Points",
i.e. needles, moxibustion, light irradiation perpendicular onto each points 1,2,and 3
2.  The ellipses with colour points represent
the cross-section of the last joint in the scheme
where is point 3.
For self-treatment it is possible to just tape natural
crystals of the same colours onto points for
0.5 to several hours (up to 24 hours a day)







For much stronger action, this may be combined with the scheme for current day of treatment, for example, for the treatment in August, several days marked:

Combining 2 schemes in one session one 
both addresses the harmful moment in the past 
and gets healing from the current day energies. 

Info from ms.Liona Boyd

There came an e-mail from Liona Boyd.
It's a pleasure to tell:

1. Her career as solo guitarist is not over at all.

She was able to reinvent her guitar technique, which has been a solution for other musicians

to adapt to this condition, to use other group of muscles which avoids the "worn-out" nerv. structures involvement.

2. She is back on stage performance and has given 15 concetrs last year and released 2 CD's.

She is planning to publish the info about the upcoming concerts.

3. Additionally, it might be reasonable to mention, task-specific focal distonia is not regarded a disease in  Western medicine, it is problem of certain brain structures related to motor function subjected to
"stress" from repeated movements specific to for example guitar players.
However, in terms of acupuncture, this causes special damage on energy level, not necessarily
having physical sign as pain etc, so in general not different from any condition regarded
a disease.

Would like to wish her long and succesful career.

Focal distonia, several alarming things

1. There are very subtle but alarming things concerning speech, even years before the condition arises.
Speech relating to mouth also relates to "physical chakra of Wind".
Wind as energy controls all movements including involuntary (breath).
This seems to be indication of possibility to develop such problem.
2. The year of giving up playing was 2003.
In a "Triorigin Times Energies system, the Objective version" the point for year 2003 falls exaclty
in a knuckle of middle finger (right or left hand). Energies of Time are the most fundamental
and this can hardly be a coincidence.
This also gives a scheme to treat by Time Energies, if know at least a month when this forced to quit
playing, or even a season. 
3. The year the problem arised was 1998,  the "Gomo" year which gives more options 
for treatment.

Task-specific focal distonia II

This condition revealled as inability of middle finger right hand to perform well.
This maps the problem as this finger is controlled by energy of Dampness.

Energy of Darkness in body controlls:
--- bone marrow and thymus (Circulation system)
In nervious system it controlls it's autonomic part
The scheme targetting problems in middle finger right hand:

Burn (nerv.system)--->Darkness (autonom. nerv.system)--->Wind (hand, women) --->

Dampness (middle finger): energies to work on

Here the scheme has:

--- Wind sedate (uncontrolled movements)

--- Darnkess tone up or harmonization (fundamental restore of "calmness and order")

--- Cold sedate Burn tone up (general loss of function)

--- Dryness sedate - shortage of energy supply in the area

Variant of the same:

Burn--->Darkness--->Heat---> Burn--->Dampness: energies to work on

 Treatment is the same















It's also reasonable to treat areas and systems controlled by Darkness:

Thymus on a middle finger right hand or on the palm in Standard Correspondence System (below).
Also, big bones like femurs and humerus, to reach bone marrow. 
There's special path to bone marrow by acu points.

There may be massage, heating by moxa cigar or incense stick, taping crystals, plant seeds, red or green
laser irradiation etc.

Task-specific focal distonia

Evaluation of diagnostic signs for a case of task-specific focal distonia lead to
certain schemes.
So far this is losing ability to produce certain specific movements, harmful energies are Dryness (problems of energy supply to the area), Wind, (movements), and Cold or Darkness (loss of function).

Points 1 and 2 focus the action.
For point 3:
--- 2 options for position, 3 and 3a, hard to say what will work better without trying
--- green point is harmonization, red - tone up.


Points are located easy enough for self-treatment, which is quite possible for the schemes with all points green - for example, heating all points in a sequence by moxa cigar or incense stick.

Left hand is more topical for women, onthe other hand, right hand is better for chronic, persistent cases.






There can be Spiral schemes:

Targetting energy of Cold in the area which may
be enough for progress.






















More fundamental schemes:

 Miltiple points show options for treatment























More special schemes to work on involved harmful energies and energies describing location  
of the problem:  

 There's a lot of variants based on slightly different approaches to deal with the problem at different angle.


Detailed description for each is probably not essential for the blog oriented on non-specialists in Su-jok medicine.

Every scheme can easily be used by non-specialist if adjust it to palm, abdomen etc. and mark 

the points.

Treatment for non-professionals was described many times earlier: 

--- massage of points in a sequence by smth like round tip of a pencil

--- taping natural crystals of the same colours onto, crystals may be any, size 2-4 mm, for several hours,
up to 24 hours. After use to be treated in salted water 1 teaspoon for a glass, for 24 hours.

One may massage the points right by attached crystals. 

Moxibustion:

--- heating the points in the sequence by an incense stick, holding it perpendicular at comfortable distance,
for 0.5-1-up to 2 min each, start with 0.5 min,or until a pleasant warm sensation at each

point.
So far this is not cancer one may try even professional moxibustion with incense stick at certain
angles to sedate and tone up points.

General harmonization

This scheme is based on so-called "Vertical meridians of Triorigin Cylindrical Spiral system"

which is is rather complex however this version is simple enough to be used by

everyone.

Points are on median lines of 4 sides of every finger (thumbs allow most fundamental action).

Location is:

--- one divides each line in half, then again each half of the line in half

--- thus one gets 5 points shown on the pic

--- the lowest points marked brown are not used and acupuncture is done on 4 points marked green.

Thus points appear on equal distances to each other.

It's esential that 4 lines have different length

so there will be different distance between points for different lines (shown on the pic) but equal for points belonging to the same line.

View from both sides.

Treatment is done in order:

--- lines: 1-2-3-4 blue numbers

--- on every line - upwards 1-2-3-4 violet
numbers near points.
This sequence is for left thumb.

Best teratment is moxibustion: heating by moxa cigar
or incense stick, holding perpendicular to each point,
equal time of 15-20 sec, sometimes longer, for each.


This has works on deeper levels because of nature of system in use. 

General vocal cords treatment in Spiral system

This may be done in Spiral System, in 8 energies:

                                                                               

This scheme is for all Gomo-conditions, including those discussed earlier.

Points are treated by their numbers.

The scheme for Hetero-conditions

Such schemes are the safest and simplest to use, just to resize the image to one's palm and mark the points.
Treatment for non-specialists may be:
--- taping natural crystals of the same colour onto
--- easy moxibustion: heating by incense stick holding it perpendicular to the points, in order by numbers,
each point for 20-30 sec or until a pleasant warm sensation at each point.
More on this and list of Su-jok methods have been in previous posts.

Simple Energy/Emotional Correction

This corrects an imbalance of energy in left and right side of body:

There is a point in the centre of a palm which makes triangles:

--- with 2 points in centre of last phalanges which correspond to legs – dark green points

--- with 2 points in centre of last phalanges which correspond to

arms  - light green poins

First triangle is used to correct imbalance felt in lower region of a body and second for upper part of a body:

--- moxibustion for all 3 points making a triangle, first the point in centre of a palm then 2 poins on the phalanges.

--- time for each point may be 20-30sec up to 2 min, or until a pleasant warm sensation

at each point.
Best to do on both hands:
--- men - first right then left
--- women - first left then right
but this sequence is not too critical.

Ovarian cysts

This may be topical for female part of singers and musicians.

Ovaries:

--- are controlled by energy of Darkness in main energy of Darkness 

(reproductive system)

--- cyctic formation is excess of harmful Dampness energy

The scheme looks as:

Darkness--->Darkness: Dampness sedate, Wind tone up, Light, Darkness control

the scheme in Nails system:

Arrows show direction of

moxibustion or needles at the 

points

Easy self-treatment is taping natural crystals of the colours shown on the pic like described in 
earlier posts.



That ovarian cysts are often accompanied by weight gain is no surprise as

this is excess of the same Dampness energy on the level of whole body.
Similar situation with often observed hormonal disorders as Dampness energy 
also controls endocrinal system.

Basic energy points and Chi-Gong

Basic energy points are special points used to raise energy, described earlier:

http://acupunctureforsingers.blogspot.com/2009/11/basic-energy-points-guidance.html
http://acupunctureforsingers.blogspot.com/2009/11/basic-energy-points-great-preventing.html

The points are on channels corresponding to Du-Mai and Zheng-Mai meridians in classic acupuncture. 

They are very important prior to general treatement in case of serious lack  of energy, because if there's not enough free energy to direct by main acupuncture, any treatment is waste of time. 

They are also used during treatment to energize and harmonize, and as great prophylactic tool.

Observations on how these points work led to conclusion they work similar to the well-known Chi-Gong exercise "Lesser Heaven's Circle" when energy is accumulated via circulation of Qi theough Du-Mai and Zheng-Mai channels. 

This technique is a base for most Chi-Gong traditions, and regarded in one of them as a "door which 

opens to draw one away from death".
