We welcome all your questions and wishes. We guarantee that no question will be left without a careful analysis and answer!

you have a sore throat

So, the first task: remove the symptom. In our case, this means not only 1) bringing the throat to a comfortable state, but also 2) stopping the development of the disease, preserving it until better times, when you, say, have at least half an hour to heal more or less seriously.

You understand that the removal of a symptom cannot be called a full-fledged treatment. It's just a surrogate. Minimum action for maximum effect. But when there is no time, there is no choice.

The first point we need is on the thumb, 0.3 centimeters from the outer corner of the nail. Let's follow the advice of colleague Shin - we will influence it with any nail of the other hand. Be careful: we must reach the point absolutely accurately. Therefore, topography and millimeters are only guidelines; the criterion of truth is sensation. Feeling of a sharp prickle. Pain. Touch it with your fingernail: there is nothing nearby, but in this place it is like a needle is being driven in. So it is.

And you must make at least 50 such injections. The point is called shao-shan. Then do the same procedure on the other hand.

The second point is in the palm of your hand. There is a pillow on the palm above the thumb. Here in the middle of it is the desired point. It is off-meridian, so you don't need to know its name. It is very sharp for sore throats. Found? Excellent. Now with the thumb of the other hand - with the pad of the thumb - we begin to influence it.

I recall the main principles.

1. You act in such a way that not just pain is felt under the working finger, but a point pain - this will allow you to work as accurately as possible (and therefore successfully).

2. Pain must be mandatory, but the pain is tolerable (the ideal is good).

3. Your finger makes subtle circular motions in a counterclockwise direction. Diameter - no more than 3 mm.

4. Attention is more important than effort. This means that the focus on sensation should be maximum.

At the second point, you work for at least 2 minutes. First on one hand, then on the other.

And the last place is the jugular notch, the bend of the bone between the collarbones. Here we have three points (also off-meridian): one at the base of the notch, and two on the sides. It is most convenient to work them out with the pad of your index finger. At least a minute per point is already good; but if you still have a minute or two at your disposal, spend them on the treatment of the place of the tenderloin where the pain is most acute. You will not regret.

Now you can safely run to lectures. I am sure that in minutes you will find that your throat hardly bothers you.

Unfortunately, lazy people - and the vast majority of them - are usually limited to this. But you don't belong to them; do you remember,

1) that the symptom (in this case, a sore throat) is only the herald of a disease that is incomparably larger and more dangerous than you imagine;

2) that any disease is not limited to a piece of the body, but covers the entire body, while the sore spot is only its springboard;

3) that any disease is associated with a colossal loss of energy that the body spends on fighting the disease. This means that if you do not help the body, the loss of energy will immediately affect all your affairs, including training. (I guess that this is what worries you not very much, but I have no right not to warn about this.)

So, you have decided to help your body seriously. Get sick. Holy work! In this case, do not put off this work until tomorrow, start it immediately.

To get started, repeat the mini-program you have already done one more time. An interval between both sessions of, say, half an hour is just what is required. I remember that over time you feel bad, but you don’t need special conditions either! You can also work on the fingers and jugular notch on the bus on the way to the institute; Yes, and at the lecture too - who will stop you?

I remind you: in the second session, the pain at all points will become aggravated - inflammation flows down to them. This does not oblige you to anything, except for one thing: work delicately. You should not have associations with torture.

If you carry out the second session successfully, then after it the discomfort will surely leave the throat completely. And yet I will ask the most conscientious in two or three hours to ride the program for the third time. You will not regret!

By the way, if you have completed a mini-program - and your ardor has not died down, you can add work on your ears to it. Here your main point is at the base of the lobe. You can pinch it with your fingers and press it, causing a feeling of pricks, you can just prick with your fingernail - as you like. This is done - until you get bored (as soon as the slightest boredom from work appears - stop it immediately; boredom is a symptom of growing fatigue; working in spite of it is stupid: there is almost nothing, and the harm can be great; therefore, when boredom is the only way out: immediately change occupation) or until the point becomes numb. Those who wish to continue this exercise can examine the entire curl of the ear (its edge), pinching it on both sides with their fingers. Where you find sore spots - work. Helps well.

Now consider the case where you are rich in time.

At the same time, the mini-program remains in force, but it is overgrown with work, which, in addition to 1) relieving discomfort and 2) preserving the focus of the disease, also allows 3) normalizing energy processes in the body, that is, eliminating the disease completely.

Keep in mind: the throat is treated with points on the hands, so this is where 75 percent of the work is done. The points on the neck - although they are directly adjacent to the throat - can be considered auxiliary. They help to rent a local inflammatory process and block the energy leak. We will assume that they account for (both in terms of effort and time) another 20 percent of the work. Finally, the last 5 percent on points that allow you to cover the entire body with work; means - connecting and points on the legs.

So, full program everything starts with the same shao-shan (11-l) the first digit is the number of the point, the second is the number of the meridian) and from a point on the palm above the thumb.

Then - shang-yang (1-ll). She is on the index finger at the angle of the nail. We tingle it, like shao-shan, at least 50 times.

Then the er-jian (2-ll), already familiar to you from the previous lesson, is at the base of the index finger.

Pian-li (6-ll) you also know - on the same line above the wrist.

But the next one is le-qué. (7-l) - you meet for the first time. Remember it well: it, like hae-gu, is one of the most important and will come in handy more than once. It is easy to find: halfway from the pian-li point to the wrist, only passing through the radius.

The connecting point is already familiar to you. This is cheng qi (1-Ill) - it is on the lower edge of the eye orbit, just below the pupil.

On the throat - to work on the jugular tenderloin - you can add three more points. They are located between the thyroid cartilage and the sternocleidomastoid muscle. From top to bottom: jen-ying (9-lll), shui-tu (10-Ill), chi-she (11-lll).

The points on the legs are also familiar to you. These are nei-ting (44-lll) and li-dui (45-lll) - at the base of the second toe and at the root of his nail.

These points are more than enough to heal your throat with the guarantee that the next time it will bother you very soon. But I would advise the most conscientious to include two more points in the program:

qu-chi (11-ll) -on elbow joint outside - and

chi-chie (5-l) - at the end of the elbow crease, above qu-chi.

As long as these two points are sensitive, your protection against colds is not worth much. But if they are silent - congratulations: even the insidious flu is not terrible for you.

I wish you a light hand!

This lesson seemed simpler to us than the previous one, no one had any questions, and yet the editor-in-chief advised:

Find Volodya Shin. Let him look with the eye of a master. You never know. In such a case, it is never harmful to err. And then add something smart.

1. By cutting out your tonsils, you are tearing apart your immune defenses.

2. A person with normal energy never has a sore throat.

3. A sore throat is a sign that you have chronic inflammation somewhere in your gastrointestinal tract.

"Student Meridian" No.

Ecology of health: If you or your child often suffer from tonsillitis, your nose is constantly stuffy, and doctors diagnose hypertrophy or an increase in the entire lymphoid tissue of the lymphopharyngeal ring and believe that the only way to treat is the surgical removal of adenoids and tonsils, then you should think carefully before deciding to have surgery.

For sick, hypertrophied and festering tonsils, there is a reflexogenic zone. You will be surprised how quickly massage works.

We are talking about daily five-minute procedures on each foot. After the massage you will feel better.

The reflexogenic zone of the lymphopharyngeal ring is located at the base of the main phalanx of the big toe on the right and left foot.

This will be of interest to you:

Sit comfortably. With the pad of your thumb in a circular motion, begin to massage the corresponding area of the table. Massage in a clockwise direction with a slight painless pressure. published

Tonsils are, one might say, the gates of our body.

It is they who take the blow from the action of various viruses and microbes that can enter our body through oral cavity or nasal passages. They are always involved in the process of otitis media, sinusitis or banal SARS.

Massage of the tonsils with tonsillitis helps us to activate and cleanse this important organ.

The main functions of the tonsils- to analyze the bacteria and microorganisms entering the body. Without them, it is impossible to imagine the protection of the body. When eating, breathing, microorganisms settle on the tonsils. The tonsils are also often stressed. This is either cold food, or allergic and infectious diseases.

Thus, there are inflammatory processes in the palatine tonsils.

Ways to massage the tonsils with tonsillitis

You can activate blood circulation in the tonsils and push plugs with pus out of the "pockets" in the tonsils using the methods below.

Relax your neck. Turn your head sharply to the left, to the right, forward, backward. Take a breath so your head doesn't spin. Repeat about 25 times.
in a circular motion massage with index fingers behind the ears and neck under the jaw, and it is easy to press pointwise the same number of times.
Before the massage, it would be better to lubricate the throat with massage cream.. Then, as it were, grasp the trachea with the fingertips, thumb and forefinger. Turn your head slightly to make it easier to feel for the trachea and the tonsils themselves. They will be like two seals under or behind lower jaw. While squeezing, move up the front edge of the muscle, then along the back wall of the tonsils (this will be best). It is done for about a minute, in the morning and in the evening.
Raise your head up, strongly stretching your neck. And with the fingers, or rather with the fingertips of both hands at the same time, draw from top to bottom down the throat five times. At the same time, press hard (of course, without excessiveness). In steps: raise the chin - stretch the neck - run your fingers five times - break (lower the neck). Repeat 3-4 times. This results in muscle tension cervical region, massage is provided inside the throat with its muscles.
You can growl during the massage. The vibrations of the muscles and ligaments will make the throat "shake" and clear in depth. Thus, together you get a deep mechanical massage of the throat.
Grasp your throat with your palm and squeeze your palm, i.e. as if you take your throat in your hand and crumple it. Not too much.

When massaging the tonsils with tonsillitis, most likely, a feeling of tickling will appear. This is normal, this is how pus comes out. The feeling of coughing is also normal. You just need to clear your throat.

How to make a solution for gargling with tonsillitis:

We take a glass of warm water.
Add a teaspoon of salt and stir.
We do rinsing 10-15 times.

Thus, with an alkaline solution, we provide the throat with the restoration of the biological environment.

Attention!

Remember! To clean the tonsils mechanically - with a finger, cotton buds or other items do not stand alone! There is a danger of damaging the delicate tissue of the tonsils, so the procedure can only be entrusted to a doctor.

Additionally, after massaging the tonsils with tonsillitis, it is very good to wrap a scarf around the throat after. You can't take it off for a day. Provides excellent warming of the sore throat and neck as a whole. Improves blood circulation and lymph flow.

Important!

Massage of the tonsils with tonsillitis is effective only when the plugs have already formed. If you have catarrhal sore throat without plugs, you should not massage. It is advisable not to massage high temperature- this can worsen the course of the disease.

Don't forget your tonsils! They produce lymphocytes, gamma globulin, lysozyme, interferon and produce a lot of metabolic processes. They are an integral part immune system people, their work is very important.

In addition, one should not forget about the anatomical location of the tonsils - they are not far from spinal cord, and are directly related to circulatory system Therefore, inflammation of the pharynx, tonsillitis can lead to problems and inflammation in many other organs.

Undoubtedly, there will be experts among readers who know how tonsillitis differs (by the way, acute tonsillitis is nothing more than a sore throat) from laryngitis and pharyngitis. You don't need it. You woke up - and felt discomfort in the throat area. Something suffocates, tickles, scratches with pain gnawing outward. You have little time; as it should be in your youth, you went to bed after midnight and therefore overslept; it's time to run to lectures, every minute counts; but since no science is useful without health, you reasonably decide to spend about a dozen minutes on this holy cause. And we don't need more.
So, the first task: remove the symptom. In our case, this means not only 1) bringing the throat to a comfortable state, but also 2) stopping the development of the disease, preserving it until better times, when you, say, have at least half an hour to heal more or less seriously.
You understand that the removal of a symptom cannot be called a full-fledged treatment. It's just a surrogate. Minimum action for maximum effect. But when there is no time, there is no choice.
The first point we need is on the thumb, 0.3 centimeters from the outer corner of the nail. Let's follow the advice of colleague Shin - we will influence it with any nail of the other hand. Be careful: we must reach the point absolutely accurately. Therefore, topography and millimeters are only guidelines; the criterion of truth is sensation. Feeling of a sharp prickle. Pain. Touch it with your fingernail: there is nothing nearby, but in this place it is like a needle is being driven in. So it is.
And you must make at least 50 such injections. The point is called shao-shan. Then do the same procedure on the other hand.
The second point is in the palm of your hand. There is a pillow on the palm above the thumb. Here in the middle of it is the desired point. It is off-meridian, so you don't need to know its name. It is very sharp for sore throats. Found? Excellent. Now with the thumb of the other hand - with the pad of the thumb - we begin to influence it.
I recall the main principles.
1. You act in such a way that not just pain is felt under the working finger, but a point pain - this will allow you to work as accurately as possible (and therefore successfully).
2. Pain must be mandatory, but the pain is tolerable (the ideal is good).
3. Your finger makes subtle circular motions in a counterclockwise direction. Diameter - no more than 3 mm.
4. Attention is more important than effort. This means that the focus on sensation should be maximum.
At the second point, you work for at least 2 minutes. First on one hand, then on the other.
And the last place is the jugular notch, the bend of the bone between the collarbones. Here we have three points (also off-meridian): one at the base of the notch, and two on the sides. It is most convenient to work them out with the pad of your index finger. At least a minute per point is already good; but if you still have a minute or two at your disposal, spend them on the treatment of the place of the tenderloin where the pain is most acute. You will not regret.
Made?
Now you can safely run to lectures. I am sure: after 10-15 minutes you will find that your throat hardly bothers you.
Unfortunately, lazy people - and the vast majority of them - are usually limited to this. But you don't belong to them; do you remember,
1) that the symptom (in this case, a sore throat) is only the herald of a disease that is incomparably larger and more dangerous than you imagine;
2) that any disease is not limited to a piece of the body, but covers the entire body, while the sore spot is only its springboard;
3) that any disease is associated with a colossal loss of energy that the body spends on fighting the disease. This means that if you do not help the body, the loss of energy will immediately affect all your affairs, including training. (I guess that this is what worries you not very much, but I have no right not to warn about this.)
So, you have decided to help your body seriously. Get sick. Holy work! In this case, do not put off this work until tomorrow, start it immediately.
To get started, repeat the mini-program you have already done one more time. An interval between both sessions of, say, half an hour is just what is required. I remember that over time you feel bad, but you don’t need special conditions either! You can also work on the fingers and jugular notch on the bus on the way to the institute; Yes, and at the lecture too - who will stop you?
I remind you: in the second session, the pain at all points will become aggravated - inflammation flows down to them. This does not oblige you to anything, except for one thing: work delicately. You should not have associations with torture.
If you carry out the second session successfully, then after it the discomfort will surely leave the throat completely. And yet I will ask the most conscientious in two or three hours to ride the program for the third time. You will not regret!
By the way, if you have completed a mini-program - and your ardor has not died down, you can add work on your ears to it. Here your main point is at the base of the lobe. You can pinch it with your fingers and press it, causing a feeling of pricks, you can just prick with your fingernail - as you like. This is done - until you get bored (as soon as the slightest boredom from work appears - stop it immediately; boredom is a symptom of growing fatigue; working in spite of it is stupid: there is almost nothing, and the harm can be great; therefore, when boredom is the only way out: immediately change occupation) or until the point becomes numb. Those who wish to continue this exercise can examine the entire curl of the ear (its edge), pinching it on both sides with their fingers. Where you find sore spots - work. Helps well.
Now consider the case where you are rich in time.
At the same time, the mini-program remains in force, but it is overgrown with work, which, in addition to 1) relieving discomfort and 2) preserving the focus of the disease, also allows 3) normalizing energy processes in the body, that is, eliminating the disease completely.
Keep in mind: the throat is treated with points on the hands, so this is where 75 percent of the work is done. The points on the neck - although they are directly adjacent to the throat - can be considered auxiliary. They help to remove the local inflammatory process and block the leakage of energy. We will assume that they account for (both in terms of effort and time) another 20 percent of the work. Finally, the last 5 percent on points that allow you to cover the entire body with work; means - connecting and points on the legs.
So, the full program starts with the same shao-shan (11-l) the first digit is the number of the point, the second is the number of the meridian) and from a point on the palm above the thumb.
Then - shang-yang (1-ll). She is on the index finger at the angle of the nail. We tingle it, like shao-shan, at least 50 times.
Then the er-jian (2-ll), already familiar to you from the previous lesson, is at the base of the index finger.
Further - he-gu (4-ll). We have talked about it so much that, I hope, you are already working on it flawlessly.
Pian-li (6-ll) you also know - on the same line above the wrist.
But the next one is le-qué. (7-l) - you meet for the first time. Remember it well: it, like hae-gu, is one of the most important and will come in handy more than once. It is easy to find: halfway from the pian-li point to the wrist, only passing through the radius.
The connecting point is already familiar to you. This is cheng qi (1-Ill) - it is on the lower edge of the eye orbit, just below the pupil.
On the throat - to work on the jugular tenderloin - you can add three more points. They are located between the thyroid cartilage and the sternocleidomastoid muscle. From top to bottom: jen-ying (9-lll), shui-tu (10-Ill), chi-she (11-lll).
The points on the legs are also familiar to you. These are nei-ting (44-lll) and li-dui (45-lll) - at the base of the second toe and at the root of his nail.
These points are more than enough to heal your throat with the guarantee that the next time it will bother you very soon. But I would advise the most conscientious to include two more points in the program:
qu-chi (11-ll) - on the elbow joint outside - and
chi-chie (5-l) - at the end of the elbow crease, above qu-chi.
As long as these two points are sensitive, your protection against colds is not worth much. But if they are silent - congratulations: even the insidious flu is not terrible for you.
I wish you a light hand!
This lesson seemed simpler to us than the previous one, no one had any questions, and yet the editor-in-chief advised:
- Find Volodya Shin. Let him look with the eye of a master. You never know. In such a case, it is never harmful to err. And then something smart will add ...

Remember:
1. By cutting out your tonsils, you are tearing apart your immune defenses.
2. A person with normal energy never has a sore throat.
3. A sore throat is a sign that you have chronic inflammation somewhere in your gastrointestinal tract.
