Introduction: Sujok Treatments (The poweful self-healing science)
Accidents or acute diseases usually catch people unawares. They tend to be happening in the most undesired time and in places where a victim cannot receive timely medical aid because necessary drugs or dressing are unavailable, for example. Of course, an ambulance should be called first of all. But it often takes a while for a doctor to arrive. The passing minutes or even seconds are sometimes crucial, though.
That is why several very simple manipulations should be carried out immediately on the spot, which will probably prevent severe complications. First aid given by anyone who happens to be nearby is of critical importance for human lives to be saved and health recovered.
Use of conventional methods of first aid is sometimes constrained or impossible. In traffic accidents, for example, frequently there is no way to completely extract a victim out of the car, and in some grave injuries no change of the body’s position is permitted. Su Jok First Aid Treatment has an arsenal of seemingly very simple manipulations which make it possible to give an exceptionally efficient first aid right on the spot and during transportation of the patient. Actually, it can be regarded as an independent first aid method that can be practiced by virtually every one who has a good command of its basics.
In many cases, after the first aid has been given by the Su Jok methods, an ambulance still should be called: Su Jok therapy does not rule out traditional medical help, especially when medi cation is required. But proper and timely use of Su Jok techniques before the arrival of a doctor can sometimes save human lives.
Some Sujok First Aid Treatments:
HEMORRHAGE:
Hemorrhage may arise from a variety of reasons.
Each of us had to stop the blood at least once in a life, no matter who was affected –
you or someone else. First aid ad- ministration in hemorrhage had been widely discussed
in lots of first aid manuals and in professional medical literature.
First aid by the Su Jok therapy methods implies application of a makeshift tourniquet
or a rubber band to the area of correspondence to bleeding or to a more proximal area.
The rubber band is worn on hands or feet until the hemorrhage stops but no more than
some 10-12 minutes. If it proves insufficient, the band should be applied to the other area
of correspondence. This is an easy though efficient method to stanch nasal and uterine
bleedings or bleedings after a tooth extraction as well as those that happen because of
injuries of the extremities.
Rather common nasal bleedings are seen in high arterial pressure, infectious and
blood diseases. Occasionally they are very intense. To ensure that the nasal bleeding is
stopped an elastic band is applied to the area of correspondence to the nose either in the
standard hand correspondence system or in the «in- sect» system to any of the fingers (Fig. 122). The same result will be produced if the band is applied to the thumb’s base (Fig. 123).
Uterine bleedings usually arise in pregnancy pathologies or ovary dysfunctions, etc.
A band should be applied to the hand or foot in such a way that it would «pinch» the area
of correspondence to the uterus in either the standard correspondence system or the «insect» system (Fig. 124).
In injuries of the extremities accompanied by external hemorrhages, the right place
for the application of a band is more proximal than the exact area of correspondence to
the bleeding bodily region. The standard hand and foot correspondence system is the best for such bleedings to be stopped (Fig. 125).
If a rubber band is unavailable, a point (area) on the hand or foot corresponding to
the bleeding region may be squeezed with fingers, a diagnostic probe or any other tool
(Fig. 126). Seeds (preferably black or brown) or magnet stars marked yellow on top should
be subsequently affixed to these points.
If possible, tiny pieces of ice or any cold thing should be pressed to the area of
correspondence to the bleeding. In chest injuries and some lung and heart diseases hemorrhages arise, which is manifested by blood expectoration, i.e. discharge of blood together with sputum during coughing. Appearance of blood admixture in the sputum calls for an immediate medical examination, for blood expectoration may indicate a serious illness. During the first aid administration by the Su Jok therapy methods painful points of correspondence to the lungs, bronchial tubes, trachea are located and massaged with fingers or various stimulators intended for prolonged application (stars or seeds). Some ice should be placed on the area of correspondence to the lungs (similar to placing of an ice bag on the patient’s chest); see to it that the pieces of ice are replaced with new ones as they thaw (Fig. 127).
Hemorrhage is also seen in sicknesses of organs of the gastrointestinal tract when
black vomit and tarry stools are exhibited. The whole blood appearing in vomit is typical
for esophageal hemorrhage. In gastric pathology vomit looks like coffee ground. Tarry
stools surface in esophageal, gastric, and duodenal hemorrhage, while stools in which the
blood of natural scarlet color appears indicates that the lower sections of the large
intestine are bleeding. It is imperative that a physician is called in should any of the
symptoms of gastrointestinal hemorrhage appear.
Having determined the location of the pathological process responsible for hemorrhage, massage the projection of the respective area in any of the correspondence systems (hand or foot) using intermittent pressure, vibration or rubbing techniques; also apply ice, seeds or other stimulators (Fig. 128).
One of the major symptoms of urologic diseases is hematuria, i.e. blood in the
patient’s urine, which, if determined by a naked eye, calls for immediate hospitalization.
During the first aid administration by the Su Jok therapy methods the area of
correspondence to the urinary bladder is massaged with fingers or a diagnostic probe.
After the massage, seeds, metal or magnet stars are affixed to these points (Fig. 129).
INJURIES
Ours is the age of splitting speed and sweeping development of industry and
technologies. Unfortunately, this is accompanied by ever increasing number of casualties,
industrial and traffic accidents. This being so, it is important to be able to give prompt and
correct first aid prior to a doctor’s coming so that the life of a person in trouble be
saved. Injury is a damage caused by external factors to internal organs, tissues or the
human organism as a whole. Characteristics of various types of injuries and appropriate
first aid techniques have been described in detail in medical publications. This
notwithstanding, the Su Jok therapy can add much to these generally accepted first aid
methods.
The concrete method of first aid administration is by all means dependent on how grave the injury is. Dangerous injuries from which shock or terminal state may arise, and those accompanied by massive hemorrhage threatening the victim’s life require an
ambulance to be called soonest and the first aid given by using classic techniques.
Let us see how the first aid can be given by the Su Jok therapy methods in the major
types of injuries.
WOUNDS
In wounds the integrity of the skin and/or mucous mem- branes is violated because of physical
damage. Pain, bleeding and dysfunction of an injured bodily part are typical for every wound. First aid in wounds requires, at the first stage, that the bleeding be stopped and infiltration of an infection into the wound prevented. For this purpose, the wound needs cleansing with an antiseptic solution (iodine tincture or potassium permanganate). A sterile dressing should be subsequently applied. For hemorrhage to be stopped, the points of correspondence to the bleeding wound should be located and appropriate manipulations carried out; any technique will do (see «Hemorrhage» above). It’s really important to relieve the pain. To do so, the area of correspondence to the wound should receive the finger mas- sage by pressing or rotational movements. In small wounds the massage is given in the standard hand or foot correspondence system (Fig. 130). Mini systems or «insect» systems should be preferred for vast wounds. There is no need to look for separate painful points, for it is the entire area of correspondence that may be receiving massage (with a diagnostic probe or whatever makeshift tool) (Fig. 131).
Various surface applicators are employed for prolonged stimulation of correspondence areas at
a later stage. Among metal stars white ones are preferable in this case. What magnet stars are
concerned; the ones marked yellow on top are the best. Besides, seeds of buckwheat, radish,
onion or kidney beans (black or brown) are attached to the points of correspondence (Fig. 132).
To have a wound healed shortly, massage (with different tools) of the points of correspondence
as well of moxibustion and seed applications are practiced. If the victim is suffering from shock because of the wounds, the classic first aid methods may be supplemented by resuscitation efforts prescribed by Su Jok therapy.
FRACTURES
A disruption of the bones’ integrity is fracture. There are open and close fractures
depending on whether the skin has been damaged in the fracture area or not.
Most fractures are fractures of the extremities. Typical indications of a fracture are
an acute pain, which any movement would only aggravate, inability to operate the affected extremity, its unnatural form and/or position, and its freedom of movement beyond the adjacent joints.
Before the arrival of an ambulance, the affected extremity (or other bodily part)
needs immobilization (tight fixing). Next employ the Su Jok therapy methods to soothe
the pain – give the victim the finger massage in the standard hand or foot correspondence
system by using pressure, rotational, squeezing or rubbing techniques (Fig. 136). A
diagnostic probe or a roller massage tool well fit for stimulation of the points in the
«insect» systems or mini systems (Fig. 137). The entire area corresponding to the fracture
region can receive massage when the latter tools are used. If possible, some ice, snow or anything else cold (taken from the freezer) should be attached to the area of correspondence to the fracture. Should a hematoma surface, a bloodletting from the corresponding area is recommended. To ensure against possible shock, surface stimulators are attached to the points of correspondence (seeds, beads, metal balls, stars, tiny stones) (Fig. 138).
For recommendations regarding first aid administration in open fractures please be
referred to the «Wounds» section above. When a fracture is obvious or suspected
the victim needs to be immediately taken to the nearest hospital.
HIGH TEMPERATURE IMPACT
HEATSTROKE AND SUNSTROKE
High outside temperature (in industry or in hot climate regions) causes overheating
in humans. Overheating is precipitated by physical work (especially if it is performed in
clothing that hinders heat emission), high air humidity, and insufficient ventilation of the
premises.
General overheating of the human organism because of long exposure to high ambient temperature leads to heatstroke. Overheating of the brain when the head is exposed to direct sunlight can be the cause of the so-called sunstroke.
Both sicknesses have similar symptoms: the patient com- plains of headache, feebleness, and nausea; occasionally he would throw up. Soon tiny «flies» would come to be fidgeting before his eyes accompanied by buzzing in the ears, shortness of breath, and rapid heartbeat; his skin reddens and turns dry. If the patient remains exposed to high temperature, his skin turns pale and his pulse rate grows even more. Suffering from severe dyspnea, convulsions, and extremely high bodily temperature (40° C and higher), he will eventually lose consciousness.
First of all, the patient needs to be moved to a cool or at least a shadowed place.
Remove his clothes and lay him down with something placed under his head. All widely
known first aid methods may be equally put to use in correspondence systems too.
Apply some snow or a piece of ice (wrapped in a handkerchief) to the area of correspondence to his head (forehead) (Fig. 150).
Quickly immerse his hands and feet into cold water, or apply to them an ice bag or a towel
moistened with cold water. Painting of all the fingertips black and drawing of black lines
on the second fingers usually produce good results. Such measures promote a drop in body
temperature .
To proceed with the treatment, give the patient a massage and attach white metal
stars or seeds of buckwheat, onion or black radish to the painful points of correspondence
to the brain for lengthy stimulation (Fig. 151).
If the patient is unconscious, stimulation of «life-saving» points is required. You
should vigorously massage the tips of his fingers and toes, the point situated in the
nasolabeal fold or its projection on the thumbs and big toes and the points of
correspondence to the heart, lungs, and adrenal glands. In case of respiration stoppage
artificial pulmonary ventilation should be given (see «Resuscitation in respiration
stoppage»). Thereafter do your best to move the patient to the nearest clinic or hospital
as soon as possible.
LOW TEMPERATURE IMPACT
HYPOTHERMIA
Long stay in cold, especially in wet and windy weather may cause general cooling of
the human organism, i.e. freezing. It happens with wandered and exhausted people;
people under the influence of liquor are frozen most often.
In continued general cooling the victim is dispirited and apathetic, invaded by drowsiness;
his skin turns pale and his pulse is sluggish. Further exposure to cold would cause a drop in
bodily temperature and loss of consciousness. The victim’s hands and feet turn cold, and
his pulse rate, which now can be hardly felt, falls still more.
Before proceeding to the treatment, the effect of cold should be terminated and the
victim’s body gradually re-warmed (by means of hot-water bottles, hot drink, warm bath
and warm wrapping). Su Jok therapy may well complement the generally accepted first aid
techniques employed in hypothermia.
Re-warming of the organism requires that the energy points on Yin- and Yang surfaces of
hands and feet receive heat (Fig152).
This being so, both hands and feet of the patient or at least his fingertips should be
immersed in hot water. Massage his hands and feet with elastic rings, roller mas- sage
tools, massage batons, etc. until the skin redden and its sensitivity is recovered (Fig. 153,
154).
The massage needs due care so that the skin is not injured. If special tools are unavailable,
you should be rubbing the victim’s hands and feet with your
hands(wetted with ethyl alcohol, vodka or toilet water) until his skin reddens.
While giving first aid to people suffering from hypothermia, you need to be watchful
about the patient’s breathing and be prepared to give him artificial pulmonary ventilation
if necessary, employing the Su Jok therapy methods among all (see Chapter III). After the
patient has been re-warmed and the nor- mal respiration of his recovered, he needs to be
taken to a hospital.
