Allhumdolillah! I am at a much better place since my last post with series of lab tests, utlrasounds, a mammogram and some other really scary tests, and a gut wrenching anxiety of results. I am doing well thankfully everything was clear except low iron levels with vitamin d3 deficiency. These deficiencies are now on their way to recovery. It is worth noting that I have been struggling with intense brain and physical fatigue since 2019 but not a single doctor was able to identify my problem. Once somebody is diagnosed with depression or anxiety then every health issue they complain about is looked from the psychological lenses. Nobody asked me to check iron, vitamin b12 or vitamin d3 deficiencies even my mum who is a dermatologist always assured me that I am fine and this weakness is just a phase. It was a phase alright, it engulfed almost 8 years of my life pushed back my career and research ambitions. This is not the case alone with me but there are many people who silentl...
I sometimes wonder what keeps me busy
through out the day or may be the day is shortened. Everything seems to pass by
like the sand slips from hand, months have changed into weeks and days into
minutes.
Probably the days are the same but we are
running too fast, trying to do many things at a time- trying to be everything to
everybody, trying to achieve a lot and complicating simple aspects of life.
Doesn’t it feel that we are always running on an invisible treadmill throughout our lives.
What all we need is health, peace, some
nice clothes, a plate of food-thrice a day, that’s all about it. Nevertheless,
the desire to have more, that feeling of not having enough, that hunger seems
to dwell with us an entire lifetime.
We desire an object and when we acquire
it, the happiness of having that object stays only momentarily with us and then
we desire something else. The cycle of desire and emptiness hardly ever leaves
us, strange isn’t it!
For a week now, I have been taking
acupressure sessions and oh boy I am relaxed beyond my normal capacity to relax…
Although I take acupressure sessions
regularly but they are mostly once or twice a month. Recently I was a reading a
book on acupressure which mentions that once a day, on an empty stomach,
press either the palm or soles. Include the fingers, web between the fingers and
also the back of hand or feet. Giving five minutes to each hand press slowly with
a massaging or pumping pressure that you could feel.
After this ten minutes session on both
hands/feet, slowly but deeply press to check if there is any specific point where
you feel pain. If it hurts on one or several points then there is an illness in
that part/organ of the body. Apply pressure like pumping or massaging on
that painful point for two minutes, thrice a day until the pain is gone. Once
the pain is gone that organ or part is healed.
You see our hands and feet have switchboards
of every part and organ of our body, so if there is pain on any one point then
it means there is illness in the corresponding part/ organ of the body. Of course
you could have hurt your hand or feet and it could be local pain even if that
is the case then deeply massaging/ pressing it for two minutes will also heal
that local wound.
It is distressing that most illnesses don’t
get detected in tests in early stages, only after an ailment has spread 40% it
becomes apparent. For instance thyroid disturbances sometimes remain undetected
for a lifetime but would still affect the body.
If we do not relieve this pain then toxins would began to accumulate in
the body leading to harmful growths.
By acupressure only for 5 minutes each on hands/ feet could become a great way to do your own diagnosis and
treatment. However, if the pain persists then it advisable to seek medical
help.
This and other
forms of natural therapies are amongst many of God’s Blessings so that we could
take care of ourselves.
Good Night!
