TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICAL MODEL
Chinese Medicine is based on a functional system comprised of the theories of Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Zang Fu, Meridians, Spirit, Qi, Blood, Body Fluids, Five Emotions, Six Exogenous Pathogenic Factors, etc. The five Zang organs are the lung, heart, spleen, liver and kidney; and the six Fu organs are the large intestine, small intestine, stomach, gallbladder, urinary bladder and triple burner. The acupuncturist characterizes the functional disturbances of the Zang-Fu organs with the help of eight diagnostic criteria, namely: Yin and Yang, Interior and Exterior, Deficiency and Excess, Cold and Heat.



How does acupuncture work? When a needle is inserted into an acupuncture point you will usually feel a sensation of warmth, slight numbness, heaviness or mild achiness at the point of insertion. This is known as obtaining the Qi. According to Chinese medicine Qi is the vital energy which flows through a system of channels called meridians and regulates the bodily functions. All the vital activities of the human body are explained by changes and movement of Qi. The activities of the Zang Fu organs, maintaining the normal temperature and defensive systems of the body all depend on the promoting and stimulating effect of Qi.



The meridians are the transmission lines among the various parts of the body, making the organism a unified whole. The meridians and their tributaries provide Qi and Blood and thus warmth and nourishment for the whole body and also serve as lines of communication among the organs and the body. They adjust the ebb and flow of Qi in the body and help maintain a balance of yin and yang, blood and Qi and defense and construction.



What happens in disease? In disease, exogenous pathogens, such as wind, cold, dampness, heat, dryness or fire, invade the body through the exterior and penetrate into the interior via the meridians in turn, affecting the organs. Organ pathologies, such as Liver Wind, may spread to other parts of the body through the channels. Through channel transference, disease in the organs may also be reflected in areas of palpatory tenderness, swellings, indentations, nodules and red areas on the skin.

There can be many disharmonies involving Qi. We speak of deficient Qi, stagnant Qi, collapse of Qi and rebellious Qi. The following metaphor is very helpful in understanding how acupuncture can affect Qi flowing through the meridians. Imagine the flow of Qi to be like water flowing in a stream. Just as the flow of water can be affected by an obstruction in the stream so can the flow of Qi be obstructed in the meridians. Qi in meridians can be blocked by becoming stagnant, by being obstructed by dampness, phlegm, cold, etc. When a stream is blocked by debris it floods upstream from the debris and becomes dry downstream from it. If one clears the debris away the water in the stream can resume its normal and natural flow. In a like manner, if the Qi in a meridian is blocked the body suffers disharmony. And if the blockage from the flow of Qi within a meridian is removed, the natural flow is restored and the part of the body affected by the blockage regains its natural harmony and state of balance.

How can this flow be restored by acupuncture? Imagine making a small hole in the pile of debris which is blocking the stream. It will often clear the entire stream path, because the force of the water gushing through the hole will widen continuously until eventually all the debris is washed away and the normal course of the stream is restored. Similarly by inserting a needle into an acupoint of the blocked meridian it will have a similar effect. And just as a stream may have certain points more easily accessed or more easily blocked, the meridians have certain points which, when needled, will have a significant impact on the flow pattern. In this way by needling acupuncture points it is possible to exert a direct therapeutic effect on the channels and organs, and thus in turn on bodily functions. (2)



It is theorized that the meridian system lies in the superficial fascia of the connective tissue just a few millimeters below the surface of the skin, and the Qi circulating within these channels is in fact the bioelectric energies associated with the connective tissue structures of the fascia. When a needle is inserted into a point it creates electrical potential changes. The generation of these small electrical currents from needle insertion results from the interaction of the needle with the interstitial fluids that bathe and nourish the connective tissue fibers. The fluids which surround the fibers contain a vast array of chemicals, ionically charged particles, molecules and atoms. (5)



WESTERN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
Research has shown that acupuncture increases the microcirculation and vasomotion throughout the body which in turn increases oxygenation of the tissues which will help flush toxins, waste products, and other accumulated particles and chemicals from the tissues improving their overall function. Therefore, the small electrical currents generated by the insertion of a needle into the fascia or connective tissues can indeed have beneficial effects. And because of the nature of the connective tissues, it is quite plausible that these effects could occur both locally at the site of needle insertion or at a distance from the acupoint. (8)



According to one scientific study on pain relief induced by acupuncture it was concluded that acupuncture works by stimulating nerve fibers in the muscles, which send impulses to the spinal cord, midbrain and hypothalamus-pituitary. These centers in turn release endorphins and monamines which block the pain impulses. (8)



While it cannot be said that an exact mechanism, or a precise Western description of acupuncture function has been discovered, it can be said that many phenomena that could play a part in such a definitive description have been demonstrated. Western science is beginning to accept that needling of a specific point does direct a stimulus to certain responsive parts of the nervous system setting off a biochemical cascade which enhances healing. Many of the ideas in the classical Chinese texts may be justified by Western theories and methods.



Bruce Pomeranz at the University of Toronto has written a very nice summary of current research on how acupuncture analgesia works in an article entitled "Acupuncture Analgesia - Basic Research" (9). He says that acupuncture stimulates nerve fibers in the muscle which send impulses to the spinal cord and activate the spinal cord, midbrain and hypothalamus/pituitary to cause analgesia. The spinal site uses enkephalin and dynorphin to block incoming messages. The midbrain uses enkephalin to activate the raphe descending system which inhibits spinal cord pain transmission. And at the hypothalamus/pituitary center the pituitary releases β-endorphin into the blood and cerebrospinal fluid to cause analgesia at a distance.



Pomeranz found that when needles are placed close to the site of pain or in the tender (trigger or Ah Shi) points, they are maximizing the segmental circuits operating within the spinal cord (cell 7) while also bringing in other cells in the other two centers (cells 11 and 14). Whereas he observed that when needles are placed far away from the site of pain they only activate cells 11 and 14. Cells 11 and 14 produce analgesia throughout the body, while cell 7 produces analgesia only locally.



According to Pomeranz, Melzack et al have found that 71% of acupuncture points coincide with trigger points. This suggests that needles activate the sensory nerves which arise in muscles. When sites are tender they are known as Ah Shi points in TCM, and needling them is recommended. Trigger points can often be found outside muscle bellies, in skin, scars, tendons, joint capsules, ligaments and periosteum. Travell stresses the importance of precise needling of trigger points, as missing the tense knotted muscle fiber could aggravate the problem by causing spasms.



How does acupuncture compare with conventional Western medicine in the treatment of pain? Acupuncture has been shown to be very effective in treating chronic pain, helping in 55% to 85% of the cases. This compares favorably with the effects of morphine which helps in 70% of the cases. However, acupuncture has the distinct advantage of having very few side effects in comparison with drugs.

THE MORPHOGENETIC SINGULARITY THEORY ON THE ORIGIN OF ACUPUNCTURE POINTS AND MERIDIANS

There is a very interesting theory proposed by Charles Shang of the Emory University School of Medicine on the relationship between the meridian system and embryogenesis. (7, 9) He states that the "gap junction embryonic epithelial signal transduction model" in the mid-1980s proposed that the meridian system contains relatively under differentiated epithelial cells connected by gap junctions which transduce signals and play a central role in mediating acupuncture effects.



Shang explains that the morphogenetic singularity theory published in the late 1980s applied the singularity theory of mathematics to explain the origin, distribution and nonspecific activation phenomena of the meridian system. In development, the fate of a larger region is frequently controlled by a small group of cells which is termed an organizing center. Organizing centers are the high electric conductance points on the body surface. The high conductance phenomenon is further supported by the finding of high density of gap junctions at the sites of organizing centers. Both acupuncture points and organizing centers have high electric conductance, current density, high density of gap junction, and can be activated by nonspecific stimuli. Acupuncture points, which also have high electrical conductance and high density of gap junctions originate from organizing centers.



Shang concludes that based on the morphogenetic singularity theory, the meridian system originates from a network of organizing centers and the evolutionary origin of the meridian system is likely to have preceded all the other physiological systems, including the nervous, circulatory, and immune systems. Its genetic blueprint might have served as a template from which the newer systems evolved. Consequently it overlaps and interacts with other systems but is not simply part of them.



THE BALANCING EFFECT OF ACUPUNCTURE
A study done by Alavi et al (1996) and reviewed by Z. H Cho et al (9) in their article entitled "Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Brain in the Investigation of Acupuncture" four of the five patients in the study had a marked left/right asymmetry in blood flow in the thalamus prior to acupuncture treatment. (The thalamus is, a major site in the neural integration of pain sensation.) Following the acupuncture treatment in which all five of the patients reported pain relief, it was observed that the left/right asymmetry was greatly reduced. (Control subjects showed no blood flow asymmetries either before or after acupuncture.)



Hammerschlag and Lao (9) review two separate studies by Nishijo et al (1997) and Tayama (1984) in an article entitled "Future Directions for Research on the Physiology of Acupuncture". They observe that when one looks at these trials from the point of view of the individual it becomes apparent that those individuals whose pretreatment heart rates were in the lowest third of the normal test group had their rates increased by acupuncture, whereas those with initial values in the highest third experienced a decrease.



They go on to note that indications of the normalizing or balancing effect of acupoint stimulation have also been detected in immune system responses. They cite the case in which the levels of IgA (the main class of salivary immunoglobulins) increased after 30 minutes of acupuncture and at 24 hours post-treatment in healthy individuals whose initial levels were low and decreased in those whose initial levels were high.



Ultimately we may find that acupuncture acts as an elegant bridge between the various physical sciences and energetic medicine. As Hammerschlag and Lao so eloquently state: "It may also become clearer that acupuncture triggers homeostatic regulation by acting on an integrative system that is separate from but interfaces with the known autonomic and humoral systems."



THE DYNAMICS BETWEEN PATIENT AND PRACTITIONER
The processes whereby the acupuncturist arrives at the information on which he bases his diagnosis consists of visual observation (including looking at the tongue), listening and smelling, palpation (including pulse and abdomen) and questioning. The most crucial part of the treatment is to make the correct diagnosis. Palpation of areas of the body, of the meridians, and of the acupoints is useful because it provides clues to the patient's condition including the condition of the meridians and organs.



In contrast to obtaining the Qi, which is felt by the patient, the arrival of Qi is something that the practitioner feels. So even if the patient feels no needle sensation, as long as the practitioner feels it, the treatment will be effective. The arrival of Qi is felt as a pulsation or sensation of warmth in the thumb or fingers of the practitioner. The feeling of the arrival of Qi is similar to what might be felt if you are holding a fishing pole at the moment when a fish starts pulling the fishing line away from you. You feel a sort of grabbing or pulling sensation in your fingers. But if the Qi has not yet arrived, the needle will move freely back and forth as if it were in a piece of tofu, and you will not feel any pull or grabbing sensation in your fingers. (1)



Acupuncture is also a very useful form of preventive care. For example, by employing the palpatory technique of eliciting pressure pain in one's diagnostic protocol one can treat problems before they develop into diseases or syndromes. Both Western and Eastern concepts of disease imply a certain pathology with measurable or definable parameters, e.g., the disease of pneumonia or the syndrome of Lung Qi Deficiency. However, because pressure pain elicited by palpation does not always reflect any obvious known disease or syndrome it can serve as a useful sign that there is an underlying imbalance that, although not revealing any symptoms yet, if treated will prevent the condition from progressing further. Disorder, imbalance or disease can be present in a person for some time before becoming obvious, and Western medicine has yet to reach that point whereby it can identify and treat such disorders at an early stage.



Part of being a good acupuncturist is to be able to see the bigger picture. And many times diseases result from a lack of awareness of the primacy of the needs of one's higher self over the lower self. Many times disease is an indicator helping us to took at an underlying emotion or thought pattern and encouraging us to progress into a more positive or higher intuition of ourselves. Once we recognize this and begin working towards our positive reality the problem begins to resolve itself and real healing takes place. The practitioner acts as a facilitator towards the recognition of the higher self. So this dis-ease in which we find ourselves becomes a real ally in our journey towards our own reality.



The dynamics between the practitioner and the patient, the practitioner's recognition of energetic flows in each body, as well as his or her intention, palpatory and needling skills are ail important factors that determine the success or failure of an acupuncture treatment. There are as many styles of acupuncture treatments as there are practitioners.



It is one's innate healing potential that cures disease. Acupuncture is simply a means to assist the body in activating one's own innate healing potential. We talk about being centered or staying focused from the center of our being. In Oriental thought not being centered is the same as being out of balance, and being centered is the same as being in a state of balance or wellness which is the natural function of the body and goal of acupuncture treatment. Health is not simply a composite of quantifiable entities such as chemical levels in the blood and urine. It is ultimately a state of perfect balance - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

sujok therapy

Su means hand Jok means foot. Sujok Acupuncture is a general term describing a new system of treatment, comprising of a variety of methods for stimulating the points in hands and feet. Instruments such as needles, moxa, electrical stimulators, seeds, laser, etc., are used to achieve a cure.

After many years of careful observations and clinical experiences Prof.Dr. Park, Jae Woo, of Korea developed a new system of acupuncture using only the hands and feet to effect the results similar to those of body acupuncture. The theoretical basis of this system is the discovery of similarity between the whole body and either of the hands and feet.

This system is safe and efficient with no side effects.

Sujok Acupuncture is a two dimensional system. The first dimension consists of a physical treatment system to simply stimulate to the points in hands or feet corresponding to the affected body parts thereby effecting a cure.

The second dimension treatment draws on Classical Acupuncture. The Classical 12 Main Meridians, the 8 Extra Meridians, and their corresponding points represented on the hands and feet as Byol Meridians and Byol Points. This form of treatment applies the experiences and theories of classical acupuncture in combination with the new theories of Sujok Acupuncture such as Six Ki, Six Emotions, Six Reasons and their treatment using the Byol Meridians and Byol Points.

These two curing systems, when independently used, are effective in treating a variety of diseases. However, the mixture of the two systems, in accordance with the situation, will produce the most rapid cure.

The new theory in ONNURI Medicine is Eight Origin concept, Diamond Energy System, Chakra Treatment, Time Acupuncture, M-Particle Theory and the most revolutionary theory originated by Prof.Park i.e. Triorigin Concept which has given rise to Smile Meditation, Smile Yoga and Spiral Neutro Energy Net system.



In Advanced Sujok application, the human body is represented in the hand and feet based on the Triorigin principle, Triorigin Classification of Internal Organs Meridian, Body Parts, Emotions etc., The Advanced Sujok Therapy is a newly developed science.

Another novel treatment method based on the Neuto principle is the Twist therapy. Twist therapy is a simple, instantly acting, simple method. The treatment effectiveness in Twist therapy is brought about by the Spiral Neutro Meridian Activation.

Twist therapy not only cures diseases but also prevents them as well as preserves health and maintain the wellness of the body. Twist walking based on the Twist Therapy Principle gives ten times more energy as compared to natural walking.

Above all Prof. Park has also developed a new concept based on the Neutro principle called Smile Meditation which can not only be used for treatment but also for achieving self perfection, every human being wants to achieve.

I met Dr.mamta while I was coming from Bangalore to Mysore in train (she was also traveling). For a few hours we didn’t had any conversation, but something irked me and asked her about herself. It was that moment I knew that I was talking to somebody extraordinary. We talked about each others profession and exchanged our views on different topics. Mysore was only 10-20kms away when she said that you look ill and my answer was “yes”. It was the treatment which lasted for only 2-3 minutes. When I got up in the morning, only to find that I am feeling 70-80% better, I visited her the very next day and to my amazement I was ok in just two sittings.
I have heard about miracles but only after I met her, I could say and believe. I do believe in science and sometimes o believe more in logics than haunches, but this lady has found just the proper balance between the science, logic and haunch. I would end by saying that to believe my words you need to pay her a visit.
Thanks

The nature of my job requires lot of walking, standing and climbing. After sitting for a while, when, I stand up, I used to get this pain in the heels. I was keen to attend a therapy session or some kind of a treatment without swallowing tablets. I am against and try to avoid allopathic treatment. By chance, I saw a pamphlet of “Clinic Purna” which caters to many ailments by acupuncture and acupressure. Though I had vogue idea of this therapy, I understood its significance after I started visiting Dr.Mamta for 12 days. I strictly followed Dr.Mamta’s advice. To my surprise, I am relieved of the pain and am able to carry myself as I was before my ailment started.
I wish more and more people to resort to this line of treatment which needs no medicine, there are no side effects and each sitting is only for a few minutes and the result is tremendous!
God Bless Dr.Mamata and her Family.

Experience of my patient with sujok. Conquering diseases by SUJOK therapy!!!

I am a diabetic and hypertensive patient for the past 12yrs. I had Tubercular Meningitis and had taken treatment for the same in 2004. Thereafter I had triple vessel disease and undergone CABG(bypass surgery) in 2006. After surgery also I was taking regular treatment to my DM type II and hypertension. But I was not completely fit and feeling healthy. General weakness, body ache, fluctuations in my BP and BS levels persisted with medication also. BP was around 160/100 and FBS 120, PPBS 220. I was feeling depressed.
Thereafter I came to know about SUJOK therapy being the alternative for all my health problems through a friend and approached DR.Mamatha Rani for the treatment. Since one month I am under treatment from DR.Mamatha Rani. Diabetes is under control. BP is stable. General weakness is not there. Emotional upswing. I am feeling hale and healthy with much improvement. I feel SUJOK therapy is scientific and gives very good result without any medication or surgery. It cures chronic diseases and is a boon to the people who have long suffering and pain.
