From Setting the Stomach
The first formula ever made — Normal
(8) Pan (3) Gal (3) Spl (7) Liv (5) Mu — and the order is the formula
The formula that was made first of all, for correcting the stomach, is the Normal formula. It is the commonest formula in the therapy, the one you will give more often than all the others put together, and the one against which every other digestive formula is described. Its order is a walk along the large bowel from its beginning towards its end, and that route — not a convention, a route — is taught with its step table in How a Formula Is Built. Here is the formula as a card.
Table 1 — Card: Normal Treatment Formula Supine 6 sec
| Written | (8) Pan (3) Gal (3) Spl (7) Liv (5) Mu |
|---|---|
| Family | Built from the therapy's own logic. The first formula made |
| Position | Supine throughout Supine |
| Step 1 | (8) Pan — both thighs together, the soft mid-sole on the upper third of each Both sides |
| Step 2 | (3) Gal — therapist's right sole on the patient's left thigh, hip → knee Left |
| Step 3 | (3) Spl — therapist's left sole on the patient's right thigh, hip → knee Right |
| Step 4 | (7) Liv — the patient's left arm and left thigh, taken together Left |
| Step 5 | (5) Mu — the patient's right arm and right thigh, taken together Right |
| What each point is for | (8) Pan — to neutralise, that is to calm, by means of sodium bicarbonate, the acid of the chyme in the duodenum and the digestive enzymes of the pancreas. (1) Gal — the gall bladder and the upper part of the ascending colon. (1) Spl — the left part of the transverse colon and the upper part of the descending colon. (1) Liv – 3 points — the liver and the middle part of the ascending colon. (1) Mu – 3 points — the mucous membrane of the intestine and the middle part of the descending colon |
| Why it is called *Normal* | Because, by provoking the glands of the digestive system, it helps to keep the body normal |
| What it is for | All problems of the stomach — indigestion and weak digestive fire (mandāgni), dyspepsia (ajīrṇa), belching, no appetite, trouble from gas, ulcer in the stomach, pain in the upper part of the navel. Also muscular dystrophy, motor neuron disorders and Guillain-Barré syndrome |
| Who may have it | Anybody, for small and middling ailments — and a healthy person, to keep his body in balance. The commonest formula of all |
| The order | The glands are provoked in a particular order, and the formula must be given in this very order |
| The caution | If some interchange were made in the order, that person could get severe constipation ▲ Take care |
| Its part in a combination | Part I of NAN |
| Taught with its step table and its route | How a Formula Is Built, "How a Formula Is Built" |
Two things in that card deserve a therapist's attention rather than a student's.
The first is the width of the indication. Anybody, for small and middling ailments — and a healthy person, to keep the body in balance. There is no other formula in this wiki of which that is said. When a patient arrives with a complaint you have not met, when the pain points say the belly and nothing more particular, when you are covering a colleague's Tuesday and the card is unfamiliar — the Normal formula is where a careful therapist stands. It is also, for the same reason, the formula most often given by habit to somebody who needed something else. Examine first.
The second is the last line of the indications. Muscular dystrophy, motor neuron disorders and Guillain-Barré syndrome are named here for these digestive formulas, and they are not small names. Say clearly what is being claimed and what is not: these formulas address the digestion of a person who has one of those conditions, and the therapy records benefit. Nothing on this page says the condition is cured, and nothing on it entitles you to work instead of the care such a patient is already receiving. A person with ascending weakness that is getting worse by the day belongs in a hospital today, and you may treat alongside afterwards.
