Acupressure Self-Massage Therapy
There is difference in Massage and Acupressure Massage. Massage is very important for keeping the body toned, relaxed as it relieves pain, fatigue and rejuvenates. Luke warm sesame oil, mustard oil, olive oil can be used for massaging the whole body. Head massage with Brahmi-Amla combination has synergetic effect and is very useful for patients suffering from Depression. Massage is done in whole body for about 15–30 minutes.
Acupressure
Massage is used for therapeutic purposes to cure specific diseases by using
hands and tools on certain acupressure points and meridians. No oil is used.
Several diseases can be treated and cured by Acupressure Massage; treatment
takes only three minutes to thirty minutes.
There
is a natural source of healing power in everyone. Acupressure is a self
curative natural therapy whereby pressure is exerted accurately on curative
points to stimulate appropriate acupoints, meridians or special places on the
body surface for curing disease. This helps reinforce the Life Force and
promotes circulation of Life force and Blood in the body and restores normal
functioning of impaired organs. This mode of treatment is called acupressure
therapy for the prevention& cure of disease and for maintaining Good
Health. It is a safe and effective treatment for many internal and external
diseases. It is easy to apply and inexpensive.
We
know the greatest power is lodged in the fine, Meridians. Meridians give power
to nerves which in turn give power to bones and muscles. There are 14 main
meridian lines each of which correspond to an individual organ of the body.
These 14 meridians have 365 healing and curative points.
When
the vital energies are able to flow through the meridians in a balanced and
even way, the result is good health. When you experience pain or illness it is
an indication that there is a blockage or leak in the energy flow within your
body.
Through
many years of practice, rich knowledge and experience, we have had excellent
clinical results with patients suffering from: paralysis, cervical spondylosis,
prolapse of lumbar vertebral disc, sciatica, brain hemorrhage, gastrointestinal
neurosis, insomnia, diabetes, hypertrophy of prostate gland, Appendix, Stomach
disorders. Diseases like cervical spondylosis, back pain, Kidney stones and
appendix can be cured in 7 - 10 days, Heart Disease can take around 30–45 days.
We have seen fractures of neck cured in six months without operation where
doctors advised the need for fixing at least 5 rods in the neck.
Safety
and effectiveness: It is a safe (sometimes painful), comfortable and effective
treatment for many internal and external diseases, but the application of pressure
to the acupoints should be adequate in intensity.
Easy
application and inexpensive: An inexpensive, simple and effective therapeutic
treatment. Sometimes no special equipment or medical instruments are required.
One can use his own hand.
Disease
prevention and health maintenance: Once the technique of acupressure therapy
has been mastered, people may use it for themselves or on others to prevent
disease and maintain health.
Under
normal physiological conditions, the meridians are a network of
channels
for Life Force and blood to circulate and spread around the body and to hold
the organism as an integrate living entity; but under
pathological
conditions, they may transmit pathogenic factors and pathological influence
between organs and structures which may cause imbalance, disturbance,
Stagnation of Nutrients and Defensive Energy In Life Force & Blood and
finally, cause sickness. As mentioned in ancient medical books: “If the closed ‘door’
or ‘window’ of meridians can be reopened, Life Force and blood may recover
normal circulation, then the disease can be cured. Therefore, stagnated Life
Force, proximal to the closed segment of meridian should be led forward to
overcome the obstacle by applying adequate stimulation to the appropriate
acupoints.” After the accupoints are stimulated by Finger-Pressing, Vibrating,
Knocking, Patting, Prasping, Kneading, Push-Rubbing and Rolling manoeuvres,
Magnets, Acupuncture, Moxibustion and Cupping, utilizing Transcutaneous
Electric Nerve Stimulation (aka TENS) and Laser Light from Laser or LED diodes in
specific wavelengths, the Meridian Life Force can be activated, the blockage of
the meridian can be relieved, the circulation of Life Force and blood can be
promoted, the balance between Nutrients, Defensive Energy, Life Force and blood
can be restored and the functions of internal organs can be adjusted and
integrated.
Under normal conditions, Nutrients and Defensive Energy in the body are balanced and the functions of organs are harmonious. If the balance between them is disturbed by noxious factors, the body is likely to attract illness. For example, influenza fever in children is usually caused by a deficiency in vital energy, impairment of body resistance and invasion by external wind and heat evils (pathogenic factors). As traditional physicians say, “External evils always attack people deficient in Life Force.” The techniques of acupressure deal with this situation by enhancing vital energy and expelling external evils from the body, thus maintaining health and curing diseases.
According
to modern medicine, acupressure cures diseases because it adjusts the
functioning of the central nervous system, improves blood circulation and
metabolism in the focus of disease and enhances the recovery and regeneration
of damaged tissues of the lesion.
In
brief, acupressure therapy may produce multiple effects: relieving meridian
blockages, promoting circulation of Life Force and blood, adjusting Nutrients
and Defensive Energy imbalance, restoring vital energy, expelling external evils,
postponing the ageing process and prolonging life span.

Taking
of Pain killers during acupressure treatment should be avoided as stopping the
sensation by pain killers or chemical medicines will weaken or destroy the
effectiveness of Acupressure Treatment. Acupressure helps maintain glands in a
healthy condition so that they can function properly. Glands are responsible
for preserving physical health and mental balance. If endocrines do not secrete
adequately, the body generally becomes weak, debilitated and sick. Acupressure
helps in regulating glands in maintaining good health and to remove negativity
in life and also to bring harmony. Acupressure is an external treatment method
possibly rooted in self prevention& protection of humans. Acupressure can
advance the reconstructing ability of the body to repair itself.
