Last week’s Column addressed colds with runny nose and sneezes. This week we will address dry coughing and fevers related to colds PLUS an added bonus of what to do in the bath tub if you feel a cold coming on. Intriguing ,aye? What is better than a warm bath, especially with candles, a good book and a glass of wine…. the answer is EEM to beat a potential cold!
Remember the benefits on working with the Neurolymphatic reflex points, discussed in previous columns? Because the lymph system has no pump there is no way to get the toxins moving from the body unless we move vigorously, but the best way is to rub these points(part of the 5 Minute Routine). Many of the points you will learn to rub today are accessing the lymph system to move out the toxins and you will recognize some of the points right away! It feels nice to become familiar with some of the lingo and the location of these points doesn’t it?
When your cold sniffles have turned a dry cough and fever, our approach is a bit different. So follow the steps below to feel better quickly!
Step 1. Rub or thump the K 27 points for 1 minute while breathing deeply. K 27 are located about one inch below the inside edge of the collar bone and are the first set of points we do as part of the 5 Minute Routine. If uncertain as to the exact location, use the knuckles and rub the entire area. This starts to get all the meridians in the body flowing forward; begins activating all 9 energetic systems and jump starts the body’s systems.
Step 2. Bend your head back slightly to find the edge of your skull. Locate the middle “divot” and then move out about 2 inches on each side. Press or circle these points on both side of the head for 1 minute.
Also look at the icks.org levitra without prescription contact details of the website before making any purchase from such sites. Final Remarks! Purchasing anti-impotence medication online cialis 5 mg offers convenience in more ways than one. A medication like cialis 10 mg is not suggested by the doctor should not be done. Yes! pfizer viagra sales the small pill but which works a lot for a person suffering from erectile dysfunction.
Step 3. Bend your elbow and observe where the skin changes from a darker color to the soft under-skin on the inside of the arm. On the darker skin, more on the top of the arm, press or circle this point with the opposite hand for 1 minute. This is on the large intestine meridian. Repeat on other side.
Step 4. Repeat steps 1-3 .
Step 5. Press or circle the entire outside of the thighs from the hips to the knees. I use my knuckles and press hard moving from the top to the knees—this muscle is governed by Large Intestine!
That is it….. you should begin feeling better. Now for the BONUS! If you feel that cold coming on, while in the bath tub, let your knees fall apart so they are resting on the tub. Cross your arms and push the elbows into the middle of the inside of your thighs and push your thumbs into the biceps. This helps the congestion drain from your lungs (thumb is the beginning of the lung meridian). Enjoy…
