Spiral Energy systems types

Spiral systems types as they occur in the body:
 1.On round zones like head, abdomen, palms, breasts one can found
a Concentric Spiral meridians Systems:
                                                                                     



2. On forearms, fingers, neck and the like there are Cylindrical Spiral meridians
Systems:





































                                      
Both types are very effective for treatment (more in previous posts); concentric type
are the choice for deep-rooting, chronic, located deep in the body conditions, while
the cylindrical spiral systems are generally aimed at acute, located on periphery conditions,
like fast-developing brain haemorrage a result of car accident.
This is not a strict rule, as there's been an acute case of aplastic anemia  in my practice,
which has been treated in concentric spiral system on the palms and worked very well,
though the same acu recipe done on cylindrical spiral system on fingers phalange worked
somewhat faster.

There are many ways to choose the location for the spiral system for a particular case,
based on Triorigin body clasification, or 6 Qi energies:



1 - Wind: meridians of left calf or middle phalange of
middle finger left hand
2 - Heat: meridians of left forearm or middle phalange
of index finger left hand
3 - Burn: left-spinned meridians of the neck or the
first phalange of the thumb
4 - Dampness: like in 3 but right-spinned meridians
5 - Dryness: meridians of right forearm or middle phalange
of ring finger left hand
6 - Cold: meridians of right calf or middle phalange of
little finger left hand






The location may match the actual location of the disease, like in case of
abdomen disorders or breast cancer, spiral system on the breast:













Another way to choose meridians location, on the fingers according to the energy
of the organ affected or the energy of disease in 8 Qi classification, for example:
---  Wind - liver and gall bladder - the Wind finger, the little finger left hand
---  for Cold diseases - cancer - ring finger of right hand
i.e. may be a specific finger for all cancer cases.

Basic energy points - guidance

The location of the points:
Points are about 3 mm in size and easy to found:
 on the palm:
3 - in the middle between 1 and 5
2 и 4 - at 1/3 of a distance to the nearest point 1 or 5
6 - equal distance between 5 and 7
on the outer side of the hand:
2 - equal distance between 1 and 3
5 - equal distance between 4 and 6

One can massage the points by smth like a round tip of a pencil but best is
moxibition - heating by a special moxa cigar sold in acupuncture
and Chinese medicine shops, or a incense stick, even byy a burning coal.
One may tie 2-3 incense sticks toghether for more heat flow.

The sequence of working:
--- for the palm - in the sequence from 1 to 7
--- on the outer side of a hand - in reverse order i.e. 6,5,4,...1.
One starts with left hand for men and right hand for women for the first session;
next time on another hand and so on alternating hands.

The cigar is hold above the point at a distance to give a constant flow of heat
not burning, until a pleasant warmth at the point.

One may heat all the points equal time, usually 20 to 30 sec, or a specific
time for each to get that feeling of warmth.
In some while one may get the feeling what particular points need treatment.



























Basic energy points a great preventing tool

Moxibustion for the basic energy points is probably the best preventing cure for all ages.
These points are known to raise energy in the body thus raising immunity
in general and also balancing energies and emotions.
Moxibustion is especially effective for all conditions caused by harmful energy
of Cold, i.e. the cold itself and seasonal flu for example (cancer also).
Will definitely be a good preventive for the swine or bird flu as here the action is not
on a particular type of virus but on the energy it thrives on and strengthening immune 
system at the same time.
Especially  valuable for children, "officially certified" for age 5 and older.
Good option is to rub garlic or onion pulp into the points as this also works for the acu points
and the same for plant extracts, aroma oils etc.
