(8) Medulla — the serotonin treatment
Deep sleep within a short while — and three refusals with their reasons
On giving (8) Medulla the person begins to fall into deep sleep within a short while. From that one observation the whole of the rest follows: the treatment is held to stimulate serotonin, the chemical necessary for bringing sleep.
Table 6 — Card: (8) Medulla Seated 6 sec Both sides ▲ Take care
| Written | (8) Medulla |
|---|---|
| Applications | 8, both sides of the neck below the ears |
| Site, technique, position | The standing card — Table 2 Seated |
| What is observed | The person falls into deep sleep within a short while |
| What it is held to act on | Serotonin — made in several places, chief among them the hypothalamus, some parts of the CNS, and the enteric neurons of the intestine |
| What serotonin governs | Mental depression — from a shortage of serotonin a person may have sadness, or sleeplessness, and so on |
| The raphe | Serotonin is made not in the medulla of the brain stem but in the part called the median raphe. So by (8) Medulla we can stimulate the brain's raphe, and whatever disease arises from a disturbance of the raphe can be set right by this treatment |
| On the vessels | If we need to increase vascular permeability — the traffic of things inside the blood vessels — then (8) Medulla is to be given |
| On smooth muscle | It helps in the contraction of smooth muscles and increases the secretions of the intestine. Wherever we need to increase the work of smooth muscles, (8) Medulla is to be used |
| Given with | (20) Medulla, for height — dopamine and serotonin both increase the secretion rate of growth hormone |
| What the index adds | For all problems of the ear; and for serotonin, necessary for bringing sleep and for correcting extreme sadness. By it we can correct every disease of the raphe region between the medulla and the pons |
| When it must not be given | Not in the diseases of inflammation. Not in cancer. Not in high BP ▲ Take care |

Four things about serotonin decide how this treatment is used, and two of them decide when it is refused.
What controls its release. Several factors, chief among them stress; not sleeping at the right time; the quantity of glucose in the blood; and exercise. If there is a disturbance in even one of these, serotonin will not be released in the proper amount. Will (8) Medulla give benefit in the treatment of diabetes? This is to be tried.
What growing children need. For growing children, both dopamine and serotonin are necessary. That is the sentence sitting behind the height instruction under (20) Medulla.
What it does at a wound. When haemorrhage occurs, serotonin is released from the platelets, which constricts the blood vessels at that place, so the flow of blood there is reduced. In this way serotonin helps the work of the platelets and helps in healing. So will (8) Medulla give benefit in Injury treatment? This is to be tried. The Injury formula itself, with its substitutions, is Fire and Swelling, "Fire and Swelling".
And what it does to inflammation. In inflammation serotonin acts like histamine, and increases inflammation.
(Haemorrhage is an abnormally large flow of blood inside or outside the body. Blood passing out of the body is external haemorrhage; occurring inside the body it is internal haemorrhage, and when that blood collects inside the body it is a haematoma. Smooth muscles are those controlling involuntary actions, found especially in the stomach, the intestines, the lungs, the urinary bladder, the uterus, and inside all blood vessels and the ducts of the glands.)
Three further notes travel with this member and belong to it.
Where else serotonin is found. Besides the places above, in the hypothalamus, in extra neural tissues and in the gastro-intestinal tract. It inhibits the production of pancreatic juice. Perhaps this is why some people complain of indigestion after sleeping immediately after food?
The banana. Serotonin is found in bananas. This is precisely why Guruji tells people to eat the inner white layer of the banana peel, so that there is no shortage of serotonin in our body.
And one question left open. Whether serotonin is made in the pineal gland is not settled in the physiology this therapy works from — there is no mention of it there. This is to be looked into. The question is left standing here exactly as it stands there.
