From Uncommon Problems

After the treatment is over

Re-check, write the plus and the minus, and get her up slowly

The atlas closes and the session does not. What happens in the last ten minutes decides whether the patient comes back, whether you can tell next week what worked, and — occasionally — whether somebody goes home safely.

Key teaching

Re-check every pain point, and write it down

After the treatment, check again for pain or stiffness at all the pain points, and write it in the proper place on the card.

If before the treatment he had extreme pain at Pan, then write Pan⁺⁺⁺⁺. After the treatment, check again. If the pain has become somewhat less than before, then below the place where four plus was written, write two plus — Pan⁺⁺. If the pain became considerably less but a little remained, write Pan⁺. If the pain went away completely, then below where Pan⁺⁺⁺⁺ was first written, write a single minus — Pan ₋.

Written on the card	What it means
Pan⁺⁺⁺⁺	Extreme pain at the point, written before the treatment
Pan⁺⁺	The pain has become somewhat less than before — written below the first entry
Pan⁺	The pain became considerably less, but a little remained
Pan ₋	The pain went away completely — a single minus

Along with checking the pain, also show or tell the patient at which places, and by how much, the pain has decreased. Guruji gives two reasons for that instruction, and the second is the one students underrate.

"By showing or telling them in this way that the pain is decreasing, their faith in this therapy increases greatly. They feel that this is magic!

Apart from this there is one more principal use — sometimes patients, after taking two or four days of treatment, do not come for many days. When they have trouble again, they come and say that they got no benefit from the treatment, because their pain came back just as it was. In this therapy, removing or finishing the pain of the pain points is the main aspect of the treatment. In such a situation, by looking at their card from the previous day — which point has a + and which has a – before the treatment and after the treatment — we will come to know whether the patient really did benefit from that day's treatment or not. Then we can decide whether the old treatment is to be given again, or a different treatment is to be given. The thing to note here is that so long as any treatment reduces the pain of the pain points, there is no need to change it and give another."

That last sentence is a decision rule, and it is worth learning by heart. The card decides whether the plan continues, not the patient's memory of how last month felt.

Getting up, and going home. After the treatment is over, tell the patient to turn onto their side and get up comfortably, and to gather their things. If it is a pain patient, tell them to walk about a little, and then ask how the treatment felt — certainly they will say that they felt good. Then tell them that they may eat food after half an hour. And give them the assurance that if they keep taking treatment regularly and observe the dietary restrictions, they will feel very well indeed.

If the patient feels giddy. If, during the treatment or after getting up, the patient feels somewhat giddy, do not be alarmed. It means that by the treatment the digestive system has improved so much that insulin has come out from the pancreas, on account of which the quantity of sugar in the blood has become less. This is momentary. Sit them on a chair, and stand near them giving support until their nervousness has gone. If need be, dissolve a little jaggery in half a glass of water and give it to them to drink, and tell them to rest for some time and only then to set out for home.

If the head feels heavy. Some people, because the flow of blood in the forehead has increased, may feel the head heavy for a little while. If this happens, tell the patient not to be alarmed. Sit them on a chair, place your palm behind their neck like a cup, draw the muscles and nerves backward for a second or so and release them slowly — the heaviness of the head will go.

The telephone. Only after doing all this may you, or they, talk to anyone on the mobile — not before this. If you yourself observe the rules, the patient too will observe this rule, and from that the feeling of respect towards you and towards the therapy will increase.

Before the next patient. Clean the mat below and spread the pillows properly again, so that no dust, dirt or any unwanted fold remains in it.

Getting up	Turn onto the side and get up comfortably; gather their things
A pain patient	Walk about a little, then ask how the treatment felt
Food	After half an hour
The assurance to give	Regular treatment and the dietary restrictions kept — and you will feel very well indeed
If giddy	Do not be alarmed. Sit them on a chair, stand near them giving support until the nervousness has gone; if need be, a little jaggery dissolved in half a glass of water; rest before setting out for home
If the head is heavy	Sit them on a chair, the palm behind the neck like a cup, muscles and nerves drawn backward for a second or so and released slowly
The mobile phone	Only after all this — yours as well as theirs
Before the next patient	Clean the mat and spread the pillows properly again — no dust, no dirt, no unwanted fold

TAKE CARE

What giddiness must never be mistaken for

Most post-treatment giddiness is what the material describes and is managed exactly as the material says: sit, support, jaggery water, rest. Two things must be told apart from it, because they are not treatment reactions at all.

Giddiness with a drooping face, one-sided weakness, slurred speech, sudden loss of vision, or the worst headache of a person's life — an ambulance, at once. Minutes matter.

Chest pain, breathlessness, palpitations or a collapse — the same.

And do not walk a giddy patient to a chair. Sit or lie her down where she is; the five steps are where people fall. In a patient on medicines for diabetes who has come fasting, sweating and trembling with the giddiness deserves the jaggery water at once and a word with her doctor about timing before the next session. Giddiness that does not settle within a few minutes, or that comes every session, is a reason for medical review, not a stronger formula.

The rest of the atlas on one sheet. The article as one poster in five bands — how it is arranged, the three pairs that must not be swapped, every count at a glance, the shared set-up of the two forceful points, and what must follow what.

WHAT TO CARRY AWAY

This article is arranged by problem, not by region, because these treatments were not discovered by region. Every entry carries its own position, its own tool, its own count and its own rule about sides. Nothing carries across from the entry above it.

Lower shoulder blade pain — prone, elbows bent, palms facing the sky; left palm beside the spine, right palm drawing the arm's muscles to the elbow, then the left palm dragged shoulder joint → elbow, then both palms across the wrist to the fingertips; the whole of it three times, then the same on the right side too. Upper shoulder blade pain — prone, elbows bent, palms facing the ground, arms raised; both feet sliding along both arms shoulder → elbow, then small close steps elbow → palm, drawing the muscles inward. After these two treatments, BAFA is of great benefit in cervical problems.

Down arrow: sit at the head, palm under the neck, middle of the palm over T1, pressing slightly inward, slide down to L5; may also be given seated on a chair; for dizziness when the fluid in the ear increases — Meniere's disease. Up arrow: must be given lying down; sit at the waist, palm over L5, pressing somewhat firmly, slide up to T1; for dizziness when the fluid in the ear decreases — vertigo. The signs are a circle with an arrow leaving it downward and a circle with an arrow entering it upward.

Hydrocele point: for swelling or itching in the scrotum; such persons have great pain in the calf, four to five inches above the ankle joint — heel, from the side, press and release two to four times, one leg or both, together or separately, according to the pain.

Prolapse point, also P point: for women whose womb has moved from its place — the heel on the middle of the thigh with an upward jerk, left thigh first, then the right. Immediately after it, (6) WD — then the descended womb sets into its own place and the necessity of an operation can be avoided.

T8: press and release all around the thoracic T8 vertebra — but the pressure should not be so much that the pain increases further.

Rocket point: after a blow to shoulder, neck or arm so that the muscles come down and the arm cannot be raised — the base of the palm from the wrist up to the shoulder, three times; then the tip of the thumb, quite strong pressure, on the tissue of the back part of the ear, pushed upward. Seated or lying down.

Gal–Spl ghisai: supine, palms hard on the chairs with the full weight on them, only the soft middle part of both soles, on the outer side of the pelvic bone, both sides at once, from inside outward, 6 times, no weight onto the bone. For blockage in the lymph nodes and swelling in the leg — especially in those who wear tight trousers.

Abdomen setting: supine, the knees the handle — butterfly ×3; knees joined, heels at the buttocks, three to the right and three to the left; one leg straight, the other knee inward to the ground, three on both sides; face one way, both knees the other way to the ground, three on both sides. For those whose stomach is very bad. Nothing touches the abdomen.

Opposite point: the opposite of the right hand is the left leg; the opposite of the left leg is the right hand — press, and rotate clockwise and in the reverse direction, according to the affected limb. The rule to reach for when the limb that hurts cannot be touched.

Superfast: for sharp groin or waist pain when the leg has suddenly slipped. Whichever side the pain is on, do it on the other. Soft mid-soles, close overlapping steps, inner muscles drawn downward, thigh → ankle; then the knee turned over onto two or three pillows; then outside of the thigh → side of the calf → back up to the heel. Three or four rounds.

Katka: prone, back relaxed, neck straight — soles from L5 upward to T1, three times, for relaxing the spine; feet turned sideways, outer edges, force both sides of the spine, a jerk; sometimes a slight sound comes — then the vertebrae are setting; neck left: the jerk again, and without stopping, immediately slide shoulder blade → elbow; neck right: the same.

Motor neuron point: weight on the hands through the chairs; heels one by one on both sides of the C7–T1 joint, toes not pressing the skull, foot at 90° so pressure does not come onto the cervical vertebrae; standing straight, pressure for a few moments, release — ordinarily only five times.

The note both of them share: four pillows — three under the chest and one under the chin — and a three-finger gap at the throat, checked with your hand. Only a mild jerk. More force can cause the patient a great deal of trouble. Use both points only after much thought.

Paralysis clockwise: fingers gathered, rolled clockwise. Inner side downward, outer side upward — arm: shoulder → elbow → wrist, then wrist → elbow → shoulder, then lift the muscles behind the shoulder; leg: thigh → knee → heel, then heel → outer knee → side of thigh, then lift the muscles behind and above the waist.

Shukla: on both the affected hand and the affected leg. One palm fixing the wrist so the forearm does not move — or holding firmly at the heel bone — the other hand's fingers interlaced in fingers or toes; up-down, right-left, clockwise, anti-clockwise, 6–6 times each, at both. Not to be given to osteoporosis patients — it may increase the pain.

Vasanti: supine, standing between the legs, soft mid-sole, very softly, heel → knee, both sides of each leg in turn; then prone, the back of the calf from below upward, 15 to 20 times. For numbness in the limbs, especially in diabetic patients; for numbness in the hands, fingers → elbow.

Feather touch: the finger tips only, stroking with a very soft touch, like a peacock's feather — for sending impulses through the whole body; very beneficial in paralysis, stiffness, pains and in all diseases of the brain. The one treatment available to the patient who can be given nothing else.

Ton 'P' and Ton 'T': the same three rubs in the same order, palm flat, palm flat, palm edge, left side first. Counts — cheek 12 / 6, below the cheek 6 / 12, side of the neck 3 / 3. Ton 'P' is not given to women who wish to become mothers. Immediately after Ton 'T', Sangam points.

Sangam points: below the elbow, at the confluence of C6, C7, C8 — press and release 6; the junction of thumb and first finger — press and release 6; just below the heel bone where the pulse beats — light pressure with the side of the heel, rubbing downward, 12. Also useful in cough, or in any problem of the throat.

Ankle point: fingers rotated clockwise all around the skin of the ankle, outside first, then inside, so that the tissue underneath becomes loose, on the leg which has the problem.

And when the treatment is over: re-check every pain point and write it on the card — Pan⁺⁺⁺⁺ before, then Pan⁺⁺, Pan⁺ or Pan ₋ beneath it — show or tell the patient where and by how much the pain has decreased, and remember the decision rule: so long as a treatment reduces the pain of the pain points, there is no need to change it. Never repeat yesterday's treatment from memory when the card cannot be found. Turn onto the side to get up; walk about a little; food after half an hour; sit and support the giddy; the cupped palm behind the neck for a heavy head; no telephone until all of it is done; and clean the mat and lay the pillows again before the next patient.

Above all: whether or not the patient gets immediate benefit from our treatment, let no harm reach him through our carelessness.
