I thought of helping him with Acupressure therapy which I have learnt from Dr. H. Bhojraj and also by reading the news letters regularly. I tried first Li-4 and there was not much pain but while pressing St-36 there was pain at that point. I activated this point gently for 10 times and during this period he felt a kind of energy flowing in the affected leg. We stayed there for an hour and he felt little comfortable while walking.
Next day I met him at the reception and he was registering the delegates for the conference. Curiously I asked him how he felt after the treatment. With a big smile on his face, he told me that he could not sit for five minutes without pain, but that day he was sitting on the desk for 2 hours which was a miracle according to him. He confirmed that the pain intensity has come down by 80% (which is difficult to quantify) and asked me to stay for a few more days to treat him. I taught him the points and promised to send a book on Acupressure written by Dr. H. Bhojraj as a gift.

Similarly I have observed very good relief among one of our senior engineers for neck pain by activating the root of the thumb and Li-4 point. I am really happy to see that I could help people in distress with this knowledge of Acupressure.

I thank Dr. Bhojraj for spreading these techniques to ISRO engineers and wish him all the best for his mission to propagate these techniques to the common man.

Course Director’s comment :Stretching exercise of the joints helps to circulate the stagnated energy and gives relief in such cases. Those interested in knowing these exercises can call him at his residence for a practical demonstration.

Motivation:I had, of course recovered when the said devotee saw me with the stick. All the same he said: Why not try acupressure? On of his own family members had benefited by Dr. Bhojraj 's treatment. The hand which she could not move or lift before for more than two years was quite all right after one sitting, he said. Subsequently, a devotee of the Mission in Patiala recounted how after a series of sittings the unbearable pain she was suffering from for months because of spondylitis had completely disappeared. Earlier the allopathic treatment she was undergoing as per the directions of an internationally famous orthopaedic surgeon had yielded no appreciable results.

Experience : I then thought why not have a go at it myself? Though I was having no trouble with the leg which made me bedridden earlier, I was having persistent pain in my arms for the last two or three years. Which, though not very severe, was making it difficult for me to lie down on either side. A known gentleman living in the same area contacted Dr. Bhojraj, who readily agreed to come here and treat me. And Io! With one sitting the pain was gone! Since then he has been good enough to come off and on, in spite of his busy schedule, as and when the pain has recurred in the leg or knee or the shoulders. Needless to say, the results have been beneficial. Very kind of him, indeed! However, I always try to keep in mind his sage words in one of his write-ups, in response to a patient’s query. The patient has asked him Doctor, would the cure be permanent? Dr. Bhojraj had hit the nail right on the head, I felt, when he spontaneously said in his reply : What is permanent in this world ? When all things must pass, would 'cure' of a physical ailment alone be permanent ? And that in old age ? A point worth remembering in tackling not only our physical problems, but every other problem in life!

Big Toe- Diagnose for Diabetic

Two important meridians Spleen and Liver originate from the big toe close to the bottom of the toe nail as given in the diagram. Any pain in the big toe or swelling of big toe indicates the weakness of spleen and liver. Pain inside the big toe, toenails growing inside, pus formation etc. indicates the weakness of the spleen. Those who have problem with big toe may have diabetes or likely to get diabetes though it is not a necessary condition. As we all know Diabetic gangrene starts only on the big toe. Some times the doctors surgically remove the big toe to avoid spreading of gangrene to inner parts. If you know Sp-1, Acupuncture says you can avoid diabetic gangrene.

Even big toe nail problems like blackening, becoming brittle, grows with roughness etc. also indicate the weakness of spleen. If the spleen is not working properly, one will have digestive problem or gas in the stomach or bloating of stomach after taking food, or heaviness in the stomach or food staying for long hours in the stomach. These symptoms are the indication for future diabetic condition. Once spleen is weak, the pancreas also will become weak. Since spleen controls the gland pancreas. Similarly every major organ controls the main glands in our body which secretes the required hormone. Brain (Pericardium) controls pituitary, Heart controls thyroid, Liver controls thymus, Lungs control adrenal, Kidney controls ovaries/testicle. If the organs work perfectly, the glandular system also will work nicely: Activating the Sp-1 point periodically can prevent you from becoming diabetic.

The spleen controls the blood and is also responsible for the health of the uterus. in women, If spleen is affected, uterus problems will start. The spleen gives energy tot the circulation of the blood, controls the quality of the blood and never allows the cholesterol to stick to the arteries. If the spleen, is not working over bleeding may take place. It is the reason for over bleeding during menses period for women, which will lead to anemic condition.

Similarly bleeding in any part of our body can be controlled by activating the Spleen-1 point. Bleeding in the nose, or bleeding not stopping after the injury, or bleeding in the large intestine or bursting of blood vessels in the brain causing stroke can be prevented by activating this important point Sp-1. Diabetic retinal hemorrhage is due to spleen weakness and not due to eye weakness - If you activate the spleen points regularly, you can avoid not only the diabetic condition but also cure the effects of diabetes like retinal hemorrhage or retinal detachment.

Another important meridian, Liver, starts on the lateral side of the big toe nail. If the nail on this side of the toe is having pain, blackness of the nail or any change in the nail indicates the liver weakness. Liver helps the digestive system to detoxify all the unwanted chemicals from the food or liquid received from the stomach. As long as liver functions properly, there will be proper control of cholesterol, which is very much required for our body function. Liver also controls the muscles of our body, particularly the muscles of the arteries. When liver is affected, the blood vessels will not be able to expand and contract according the Organ's requirement, so that blood pressure increases to compensate this deficiency. It can affect the eyes as glaucoma. If liver is affected, blood vessels in the brain also get affected. It will create some sort of a sensation on the fingers and toes. In the long run, it can develop as skin diseases and even gangrene.

Migraine is the label given by doctors for not knowing the root cause for this type of severe headache on one side of the head, According to allopathy, migraine cannot be cured but the patients should live with it for life. Whereas Liv-l point answers all the specialist and you can be rest assured migraine can be cured. If you cannot solve yourself, please do come to us, we will train you to come out of migraine.

My Experience !!

Very rarely I get headache and whenever I get slight headache I used to press my thumb to get immediate relief. A few months back I woke from sleep at about 3 AM and the headache was too much to bear. I tried pressing the points but did not get good relief. Since we don’t keep any tablets at home, I went to my clinic room and used Acupuncture needle on the point Liv-1. To my surprise, the headache vanished within few minutes and I could sleep immediately, Since I felt the cure myself, my confidence in Acupuncture therapy got strengthened.

Stomach is a very important organ in our digestive system, often misused by us due to the taste of masala food, especially in India. Any medicine taken for any problem has to go first to the stomach and especially the antibiotics create the side effects of hyper acidity and other related problems. Food should be chewed well and the taste of the food should be absorbed by the tongue and only half stomach should be filled up leaving the space for water and air. It is advisable to avoid heavy dinner and sufficient time should be given before going to bed to empty the stomach. Please note, that one should never go to sleep with full stomach.

The stomach meridians exit point is in the second toe. Any change in the second toe or toenail indicates problem in the stomach. Since the stomach meridian starts at the eye socket and travels in the cheek, this St-45 point can cure eye disorders and trigeminal neuralgia.

In acupuncture meridians, the third toe doesn't play much importance but it is also related partially to stomach and partially to gall bladder. The fourth toe can tell us the states of gall bladder and any irritation, pain etc. on fourth toe indicates that gall bladder energy is less. The meridian starts at the end of the eyebrow and travels through the trunk to the leg. Increasing the heat energy in this meridian can dissolve gall bladder stones and surgical removal of gall bladder can be avoided. Indigestion, stomach problem, neck pain, shoulder pain etc. can be easily cured with this point. Sudden headache can be cured easily with this point. Cervical Spondylosis is a simple problem if you know the gall bladder point. Even eye disorders can be cured with this point since gall bladder meridian starts in the eye region.

Itching in the inside region of the thighs, eczema, white discharge, itching in the anus and genitals, urinary tract problem can be solved without antibiotics or ointments with this point.

The Urinary Bladder meridian has its exit point B-66 on this toe and this is a gifted point by God for pregnant ladies for easy delivery. If the nurse who is attending the ladies in the delivery room know this point, 90% of cesarean operations can be avoided. Activating the POINT B-66 ensures painless delivery. The excessive bleeding after delivery can also be reduced with this point. One of my colleagues in ISRO confirmed easy delivery after activating this point during delivery.
