Backflow of QI

Well i believe i wrote in my first post that i don&#39t really have G.E.R.D. I don&#39t have any pain in the chest, nor do i have heartburn. Instead, i get a very bitter taste in my mouth in the morning and am not digesting my food very properly.

I was reading a book which stated that one of most important indications for the use of Gall Bladder 34 is a very sour taste in the mornings.

As far as Stomach 36 it was recommended as a key point in any digestive issues.

I will surely take a look at the article you provided me with. Thank you.

I was suffering from GERD aka gastro-intestinal reflux disease a year ago and had a very severe burning sensation in the stomach along with a lot of vomits. I recommend eating just a slice of an apple to see miraculous effects!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although using the points may help too...:)

Treating G.E.R.D. is very easy, there are several ways to treat it but most effective are taking Betaine HCL pills (1300 mg i.e. two pills with every meal until you feel a very strong burn in the stomach (not chest) that is when you have to lower the dosage)

It is common to think that GERD is cause because there is to much acid but the truth is there is to little acid and to much pressure.. Another great way to treat GERD is very simple, it involved Homeopathic remedy, actually cell salt, Nat. Phos 6X to be taken after each meal (2-4 pellets) and Arnica 30X 2-3 times a day.

Another great shorterm solution for gerd is to take D-Limonene oil, 1 gram once per two days..

So there are many easy ways to heal &#39&#39gerd&#39&#39 but again, i don&#39t have that, just something &#39&#39similar&#39&#39.

My tongue is clear, normal, my BP is normal. I don&#39t have the experience to check my own pulse.

@Mishra, thank you kindly for your answer. I know i was reading about this, but i forgot- what is the difference between tonify and sedate?

P.S. I found a couple of really sore spots on my ears. One was pretty extreme on my right ear, it is &#39&#39inside&#39&#39 the ear, near the &#39&#39hole&#39&#39, not sure what that part is called.

Next one is near the hellix on the middle of the ear, i think that one is connected to elbow and i have some issues with my right elbow (it hurt when i lift weights for certain exercises, like a nerve gets pinched, i feel movement)

My left ear is really sore near the top border of the helix, a bit more on the left and the same point is sore on my right ear. I am using vaccaria seeds but the pain isn&#39t deminishing, i am pressing it from time to time and i have to say it hurts really bad, and i have a really high pain treshold. I have no troubles with the pain, but i am guessing not a lot of people could take it.

Hi there M,

I think it would be better if you learnt the reducing and tonification methods from some practitioner in your area. Tonification is energy dispersing methods and sedation is just the reverse process.

If you use copper and alumunium needles Tonification calls for copper and sedation calls for alumunium.

stainless steel needles : slanting at 30 degree pointing along the flow of energy is tonification. Needle pointing in reverse direction means sedation.

Well there are other methods and means as well...

Personally I use needleless acupuncture with the help of magnets developed by prof. Park of Korea. North pole on a point is tonification and south pole is sedation.

regards,

Yes, i was aware of the magnets and their effects.

I know i should learn from a real acupuncture practitioner, but i live in a country where Acupuncture almost doesn&#39t exist. There are maybe 1-2 practitioners in the capital, but they are really expensive and are all about the money. I don&#39t feel comfortable with giving my health to anybody. I think that only a person who really wants his patient to become well can have a huge impact.

Will be reading more before i start doing anything. Currently am reading about ear acupuncture since it is much simpler.. If the point is sensitive, act on it :)
