Liv – 3 points — that is, (3) Liv — (1) Liv-3 वाला
In this, without stopping, it is to be done at three places: first near the waist and near the elbow; then on the middle of the arm and the middle of the thigh; and finally near the wrist and near the knee. At each place press for six seconds and release.
| Patient's position | As for Liv Supine |
|---|---|
| Where the feet are placed | Three paired stations, upper limb and lower limb together: (1) near the waist + near the elbow · (2) middle of the arm + middle of the thigh · (3) near the wrist + near the knee Left Both sides |
| Duration and repetitions | 6 seconds at each paired station, taken without stopping; one pass = (1) Liv – 3 points = (3) Liv 6 sec |
| What it is for | As for Liv |
Each application counts as one Liv, which is why one pass of three stations is written both ways: (1) Liv – 3 points and (3) Liv are the same instruction said twice. Reading Liv – 3 points as "give Liv three times in one place" is named in The Shorthand, "The Shorthand" as the commonest misreading in the wiki.
The higher counts, each given whole:
(2) Liv – 3 points, or more. Repeat the pass as many times as the number written; two passes are six applications.
(7) Liv. Give the Liv – 3 points sequence twice, and at the end give once more at the place between the hand and the thigh — that is, the middle station. Six applications, then a seventh at station two. Not "seven presses anywhere"; the entry names where the odd one goes.
(12) Liv. Four complete passes of Liv – 3 points — twelve applications. It is the highest single count the atlas gives for this point, and it has a use of its own: it is very beneficial for dissolving gall stones, of which the therapy's own note says, with the hedge left standing, perhaps it works something like cholic acid; and it is used in the Lactic Acid formula. The full account of what each count is for belongs to Each Point in Use, "Each Point in Use"; the formula belongs to Water and Salt, "Water and Salt".
Why a count is not a quantity of effort
At a chemical point the number in brackets is a dose, and different numbers of the same point have been found to produce different effects — from which it is understood that they make different chemicals. So take care that the pressure is exactly six seconds and is given exactly as many times as is written; let there be no mistake in the count. Otherwise either the effect we want will not occur, or, in some rare cases, the opposite effect may occur. 6 sec ▲ Take care
(3) Liv, (7) Liv and (12) Liv are three treatments, not three sizes of one — and a therapist who gives ten because he lost count at seven has not given a slightly stronger (7) Liv.
Const — Constipation (कोंस्टीपेशन — read aloud as constipation)
Placing both feet one by one in the middle of their right thigh, press for six seconds and release. Do it as many times as the number written.
| Patient's position | Supine, one pillow under both thighs Supine |
|---|---|
| Where the feet are placed | Both feet, one after the other — not together — in the middle of the right thigh Right |
| Duration and repetitions | 6 seconds each, as many times as the number written 6 sec |
| What it is for | Relief in constipation |
From Each Point in Use
The bowel points — MU, CONST, DYS
Table 6 — The three bowel points, and the substitution written for one of them
| Point and variant | What it is used for | When it must not be used | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mu — म्यूकस, mucus | For pain just to the left of the navel. To stimulate the middle part of the descending colon. Good for constipation, and for a blocked nose | It stimulates the mucous membrane from the mouth to the anus. So do not give to those who have a cold, or whose nose is running, or from whose mouth excessive saliva is coming. In its place, (4) Down arrow may be given ▲ Take care | The only chemical point whose prohibition names a substitute. Method: |
| (1) Const / (4) Const | In hard constipation there is pain in the region above and to the left of the navel. This treatment removes that pain, and also relieves the constipation that occurs in hypothyroidism, in bamboo spine (ankylosing spondylitis), in Parkinson's disease and in paralysis | Do not give to those who have loose motions ▲ Take care | The palpation finding comes before the treatment: the tenderness above and left of the navel is what selects the point |
| Dys | Loose motions — but give this only if there is pain in the upper part to the right of the navel; otherwise not. It may be given for a day or two to correct loose motions | Do not give to those who have constipation. And the standing warning: its use must be undertaken only with great thought — because it works against the natural motion, the peristalsis, of the intestines ▲ Take care | Three brakes on one point: a palpation gate, a time limit of a day or two, and a warning about the mechanism itself |
Dys — the most self-restrained point in the therapy
Read the three brakes again, because between them they are a small course in how to hold a powerful treatment.
The gate. Give this only if there is pain in the upper part to the right of the navel; otherwise not. Not if the patient has loose motions — the complaint is not enough. There must be a finding under your fingers.
The ceiling. It may be given for a day or two. A day or two is not a suggestion about how long it takes to work. It is the outer limit.
The reason. Its use must be undertaken only with great thought — because it works against the natural motion of the intestines. Loose motions are partly the body emptying something it wants out. A treatment that slows the bowel is holding that something in. The therapy says this about its own point, in its own voice, and asks you to think before you use it. ▲ Take care
And there is a reason that warning is not squeamishness. The gut carries its own nervous system — a complete network of nerve cells in the wall of the intestine, enough of them to run the whole organ on their own; cut every connection to the brain and an intestine still senses what is inside it, still decides, and still moves it along in orderly waves. Which means a bowel that has speeded up has usually decided to speed up, and something is in it that its own wiring wants gone. It works against the natural motion of the intestines is respect for a second brain that knows more about the situation than the therapist does.
