There are 14
Channels of energy (Meridians) in the human body : Lung; Large Intestine;
Stomach; Spleen; Heart; Small Intestine; Urinary Bladder; Kidney; Heart
Governor (Blood Circulation; Heart and Sex Organs); Triple Warmer (Respiration;
Digestion and Genitourinary Functions); Gall Bladder; Liver; Governing Vessel
(Physical Energy); and Conception Vessel (Sexual Energy).
INSTRUCTIONS:
- To locate acupressure
point, imagine the compass for direction. North is always at the top and East,
to the right;
- The joints of the
index finger are referred to as “Suns”. E.g : one joint = one “Sun”. The length
of the patient’s index finger joint (“Sun”) MUST BE USED FOR MEASUREMENT! [Not
that of the person administering the treatment];
- To apply
treatment, locate acupressure point and depress firmly. Massage in a small
circle without leaving point, in a clockwise
direction for tonification or in an anti-clockwise direction for sedation;
WARNING!
DO
NOT MASSAGE ACUPRESSURE POINT FOR ANY LONG PERIOD!
When the
acupressure point is massaged, the Central Nervous System is activated to relay
impulses to the internal organs which may be malfunctioning.
