Acupressure : How to Diagnose an Allergy

        
    Allergy is a damaging immune response by the body to a substance, especially a particular food, pollen, fur, or dust, to which it has become hypersensitive .Allergic diseases include hay fever, food allergies, atopic dermatitis, allergic asthma, and anaphylaxis.

Allergies are the body's response to a substance called an allergens like dust, pollen, insects bites, weather  , certain food items, drinks smell, medication etc. Any allergen when comes in  physical contact can act as a 'foreign object' in the body.  The body then produces antibodies to neutralize or help rid the body of the foreign substance.  In the process, histamine and other chemicals are released which cause allergic symptoms.

In spite of various researchers , allergy has been not  understood properly so it is not cured and as a result, the patient has to suffer for entire life and be in a perpetual fear of catching allergy anytime anywhere .


Our body consists of about 72% of water .Heat and cold have the same effect on the water inside our body as on the water outside. In our body Adrenal gland controls the fire element of body and act as a thermostat device .Whatever is the outside temperature , our body maintains the same temperature 98.4 degrees F throughout  the years. The water in our body gets heated during the day due to physical activities and outside temperature , while during the night it cools down creating moisture in the lungs and head . Now this excess moisture is thrown out from the body by sneezing and running nose . The excess moisture in body hampers the working of Thyroid -parathyroid gland  , which is the barometer of the body ,controls the digestion of calcium and production of phosphorus.  The less supply of phosphorus and calcium disturbs the thermostat device  of the body the adrenal gland  . Due to the inefficient  working of the adrenal gland, less heat is produced in the body , so there will be less evaporation of water from the body and consequently there is an increase in the water content  in the body putting more pressure on lungs, and nose - sinus pockets . 


Besides malfunctioning of Adrenal gland, the Sluggish liver also contributes to different types of allergies. The sluggish liver produces less bile in the body , due to lack of sufficient bile the acidic food of stomach is not neutralized in the intestine, this leads to acidity in the body. The acidity warms the air in the stomach. the heated air ascends to the empty  space of  head and face. Whenever this heated air is cooled due to outside lower temperature, cold wind, fan or air conditioner it turns into water vapor  and further become water droplets . Now this cooled water contracts and irritates the head , nose , throat and lungs neurons and this excess water is thrown out from the body by sneezing and running of water from nose and eyes. 


Moreover, due to the continuation of cold for a period of two to three years, even the lungs lose their capacity to throw out toxins gathered from the blood. The net result is that the body develops Allergy for something. The overburdened nerves develop irritation against certain things like perfumes, pollen, dust, etc. And so when the patients come in contact with that particular thing; the nerves get excited.
In a case of an allergy attack, point number 21 sends two signals: One to the liver to slow down it's functioning so the excess heat can be produced and the other an SOS to the brain to defend against this enemy (the foreign object in a body). The body knows only one language of defense - it creates Heat. The Brain produces more Histamine. After a while, the brain comes to know that Allergy point had sent a wrong signal and realizes that nothing has gone into the system of the body. And so, in order to remove the excess heat from the body, it creates cold. This results in sneezing, watering of the nose and eyes, coughing, vomiting, etc. This fight in the body between the excess heat and cold results in breathlessness, depression, etc. This is not understood and so instead of helping to remove the excess heat and increasing the power of resistance of the body by reducing the deficiency of calcium, drugs like anti-histamine are given to curb the Allergy. For the time being, this process of removing the excess heat from the body is arrested. But very soon, the body starts this process of throwing out the excess heat-which is considered to be another attack of Allergy. The vicious cycle continues. And so, even Adrenal gland is more damaged- which damages oxygenation in the body—creates more breathlessness and creates more and more weakness in the body—leading to more depression and the power of resistance of the body becomes so low that the patient develops Allergy even against microscopic dust.

Skin Allergy is also caused by an allergen which is responsible for triggering an immune system response . Skin allergy symptoms include swelling,hives and rashes . The skin allergy Reactions may occur in one spot, such as a small localized skin rash, itchy eyes, face bumps, or all over, as in a whole body rash such as hives (urticaria ) . Through the process of perspiration, many toxins are thrown out from the body through the skin . Due to sluggish liver and malfunctioning of the adrenal gland, there is less circulation of blood hence less oxygenation of cells  . Now more and more toxins gather under the skin , the nerve ending at that point become irritated and skin shows allergic symptoms like rashes, hives and swelling.

Acupressure : How to Detect Anemia


Anemia happens when the number of healthy red blood cells in your body is too low. Red blood cells carry oxygen to all of the body’s tissues, so a low red blood cell count indicates that the amount of oxygen in your blood is lower than it should be. Many of the symptoms of anemia are caused by decreased oxygen delivery to the body’s vital tissues and organs. So the deficiency of red blood cells is known as anemia . 

Symptoms of Anemia are  : Tiredness, dizziness, headaches, depression, slow healing, loss of sex drive, bruising, nervousness, shortness of breath, pallor and palpitation.


Parameters :


Point no - 8: thyroid , works as a thermostat in the body .

Point no -20 : colon , the main function is the absorption of water and elimination of mucous and waste products 
Point no- 23 : liver , controls body heat and also Breaks down erythrocytes (RBC) and defends against microbes
Point no -28 ---Adrenal , controls oxygenation and circulation of blood 
Point no -37 : Spleen , acts as a filter for blood as part of the immune system. Old red blood cells are recycled in the spleen, and platelets and white blood cells are stored there. 

Acupressure : How to Detect  Anemia 

Severe pain on following points indicates Anemia


Hurting pain on 37 --- indicates something problematic in the blood
Hurting pain on 37 + 16 --indicates anemia due to degeneration of blood 
Hurting pain on 37+9 ---indicates anemia due to degeneration of bones 
Hurting pain on 37 + 19 +22+23+28 ---anemia due to ulcers 
Hurting pain on 37 + on the outer side in the middle of the nails of smallest toe/last finger ---indicates anemia due to intestinal worms 
Hurting pain on 37+ 20+23+8 ---indicates severe anemic condition

Acupressure : How to Diagnose Gallbladder Stone


A gallstone is a stone formed within the gallbladder out of bile components. The term cholelithiasis may refer to the presence of stones in the gallbladder or to the diseases caused by gallstones.

Gall bladder a small sac lying at the back of liver and it reserves bile’s produced by the liver. This small sac stores and concentrates bile prior to its release into the small intestine. It is a part of the biliary tract, a series of ducts that conveys and stores bile. Bile is produced by liver cells, then passes along the bile ducts, and is stored and concentrated in the gall bladder before being released into the initial part of the small intestine – duodenum. The gall bladder is joined to the bile duct by the cystic duct. The bile duct passes from the junction with the cystic duct down through the head of the pancreas to drain bile into the duodenum

 Most people with gallstones (about 80%) never have symptoms. In 1–4% of those with gallstones, a crampy pain in the right upper part of the abdomen, known as biliary colic, occurs each year. Complications of gallstones include inflammation of the gallbladder, inflammation of the pancreas, and liver inflammation. Symptoms of these complications may include pain of more than five hours duration, fever, yellowish skin, vomiting, or tea-color urine.

Acupressure : How to Diagnose Gallbladder Stone 

Point no- 22--- liver , produces bile 
Point no -23--- gallbladder, store and concentrate the bile secreted from liver,  
Point no- 8 ----thyroid, the barometer of the body denotes something is wrong in the body, in case of overworking , it creates calcification leading to stones in body 
Point no -29 ---Solar plexus ,  is considered in Acupressure as an important point as its upset can result in many disorders of the body.
Point no-28 --- Adrenal , controls the production of bile in the body , controls the working of liver 

Severe pain on following points indicates Gallbladder stones

Pain on 22 + 23--- indicates problems in liver and gall balder .
Very hurting pain on 22 + 23 ---indicates crystallization of bile or gall stones.
Pain on 22+23+28---indicates gallbladder stones .

Acupressure : How to Diagnose Intestinal Worms


Intestinal worms are parasites in the gastrointestinal tract, primarily on the intestinal wall, that affect people and other organisms. There are different types of intestinal worms that affect people, but the most harmful are roundworm, pinworm, whipworm, and tapeworm.

Depending on the type of intestinal worm, a person may experience different symptoms like stomach pain, gas, dysentery,diarrhea, bad breath, constant feelings of hunger, restless sleep, itching around the rectum, anemia, weakness, weight loss, frequent headaches, fever, nausea, pain in the legs and nutritional disorders.

Acupressure : How to Diagnose Intestinal Worms 

Hurting pain on the following point indicates presence of intestinal worms :

  1. Severe pain on the outer side in the middle of the nails of smallest toe/last finger indicates the presence of worms in the intestine .
  2. If the eyes of the patient are whitish  and there is no redness in the corner of eyes, it may denote anemic condition due to the presence of intestinal worms. 
Some obvious symptoms of intestinal worms for children  : 
  1. The presence of tiny white spots coming out of half moons on nails may indicate presence of the worms in the intestine. Tiny white spots on nails also signify zinc,calcium,iron and protein deficiency. 
  2. Discharge of saliva from the mouth during night .
  3. whitish eyes 
  4. Hurting pain on the outer side of nails of small toe/last finger of hands and legs .
