Also called: 9 Gal, Gal for anger, (9) गॉल
(9) Gal is a named form of the gall bladder point Gal, aimed not at digestion but at temperament. The teaching uses it to reduce excessive anger, and especially to settle hyperactivity and restlessness in children.
(9) Gal belongs to the Gal family — the point named for the gall bladder, the small bag under the liver that stores bile. The bracket number does not make Gal 'stronger'; it names a separate treatment with its own purpose.
It is the one entry in its family aimed at temperament. The teaching's reason is short and old: anger spoils the gall bladder. In everyday Hindi, too, an angry person is said to be full of bile — and the same link between bile and a hot temper runs through Indian and Greek medicine alike.
Exactly where Gal is given: you lie on your back with a pillow under both thighs, and the work runs down the front of the left thigh, from just below the hip to just above the knee. The left thigh is used because the Neurotherapy (LMNT) map crosses — the left limb answers the gall bladder side on the right.
It is given like Gal, with the soft middle of the therapist's sole travelling down the left thigh, the therapist's weight held through the arms on chairs. What makes it (9) Gal is the named form written on the card. For a very restless child, the teaching records a variation inside the New Gal formula. The exact method is taught hands-on in the course, under a trained teacher.

The teaching's claim is about temperament, reached through the gall bladder. It is offered from clinical experience; it is not a medical treatment for a behavioural or mental-health condition.
(9) Gal is a member of the Gal family; Gal's cautions stand for it.
Only after examination, and only where Gal itself is not barred.
The New Gal formula, given first to restless children whose mother had bile trouble in pregnancy.
“Neurotherapy (LMNT) treats according to the condition of the body.”
No. The number names a separate treatment with its own purpose — temperament — not a bigger dose of the digestive Gal.
Only after a trained therapist has examined the child, checked the Gal bars, and planned light treatment — and alongside any care the child's doctor advises.
The teaching says anger spoils the gall bladder, and works the link in reverse. Science has not tested this link; it is offered from the therapy's own experience.
The English word choleric, meaning quick to anger, comes from the Greek cholē — bile. Ancient Greek medicine linked yellow bile with a hot temper, much as Ayurveda links excess pitta with irritability.

The nerve network in the gut wall uses many of the same chemical messengers as the brain — serotonin and acetylcholine among them. Gut and mood are more closely wired than most people think.
