ENDOCRINE GLANDS – REGULATORS OF THE BODY
NATURE HAS PROVIDED THE BODY WITH PROPER REGULATORS AND PROTECTORS. THESE ARE THE ENDOCRINE GLANDS. THE KNOWLEDGE SO FAR IN THE WEST ABOUT THESE DUCTLESS ENDOCRINE GLANDS IS VERY LIMITED. HOWEVER THE YOGIS IN INDIA WERE AWARE OF ITS GREAT IMPORTANCE, WORKING AND EVEN BEFORE AYURVED-6000 YEARS AND HS DESCRIBED THEM AS CHAKRAS.
THE MAIN FUNCTION OF THESE GLANDS ARE TO MAINTAIN THE METABOLISM-CONTROL OF FIVE BASIC ELEMENTS OF THE BODY; REGULATES THE FUNCTIONS OF ALL THE ORGANS AND THE BRAIN; ALSO ADJUST AND PROTECT THE BODY AGAINST ANY DISEASE. THESE GLANDS
PLAY A VERY IMPORTANT PART NOT ONLY IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR BODY BUT TAKE A GREAT PART FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR LOOKS AND CHARACTER ALSO.
IF THESE GLANDS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY IT AFFECTS OUR BODY AND AS WELL AS IN OUR NATURE. IF ADRENAL IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY THE LIVER IS AFFECTED AND ONE BECOMES FEARFUL-PEEVISH AND ILL-NATURED; IF SEX GLANDS ARE OVERACTIVE ONE
BECOMES MORE SELFISH AND PASSIONATE; IF THYMUS IS NOT NORMAL ONE BECOMES MEAN MINDED; IF PITUITARY IS NOT NORMAL ONE BECOMES PITILESS, DOER OF CRIMES AND WHICH LEADS ONE TO BECOME A THIEF, A DACOIT EVEN A MURDER.
IT IS THERE FOR MOST NECESSARY TO CONTROL THESE ENDOCRINE GLANDS WHICH CAN BE EASILY DONE WITH THE TREATMENT OF ACUPRESSURE.
THERE ARE SEVEN ENDOCRINE GLANDS IN OUR BODY. THEY ARE INTERRELATED AND
DEPENDENT ON EACH OTHER AND ASSIST EACH OTHER. SO, WHEN TREATING ONE GLAND IT IS NECESSARY TO TREAT OTHER GLANDS ALSO. IN CASE OF ANY PROBLEM FOR 8-10 DAYS YOU WILL FIND THAT THERE IS A PAIN ON THYROID / PARATHYROID POINT. THEY ARE THE
BAROMETERS OF THE BODY. IN CASE OF CHRONIC PROBLEMS YOU WILL OBSERVE THAT POINTS OF MORE THAN ONE ENDOCRINE GLAND WOULD BE PAINTING.
1. PINEAL GLAND:
IT ACTS AS AN ORGANISER AND CONTROLLER OF ALL GLANDS. IT CONTROLS THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE GLANDS AND REGULATES THEM. MALFUNCTIONING OF THIS GLAND
LEADS TO HIGH B.P.; ALSO AWAKENING OF PREMATURE SEX GLANDS RESULTING IN SEX DELINQUENCY. MOREOVER IT CONTROLS THE POTASSIUM/SODIUM BALANCE IN OUR BODY AND SO ITS MALFUNCTIONING LEADS TO EXCESSIVE RETENTION OF FLUIDS IN THE BODY WHICH IS MISTAKEN FOR A MAJOR KIDNEY PROBLEM. IT CONTROLS A PROPER FLOW OF CEREBRO SPINAL FLUID AND THUS KEEPS ALL THE GLANDS AND BODY VITALISED-STRONG AND HEALTHY.
IT IS ALSO KNOWN AS PRIMITIVE THIRD EYE. THE PREDOMINANCE OF THESE GLAND GENERATES A SENSE OF SUBLIMITY-HELPING MEN GROW INTO SAINTHOOD, ENDOWED WITH DEVINE QUALITIES. THESE PEOPLE HAVE GREAT WISDOM AND TENDERNESS OF HEART, ALSO STRONG WILL POWER AND SO THEY ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THE SUFFERINGS OF THE BODY OR SORROW.
2. PITUITARY GLAND:
THIS GLAND, CONTROLS AIR AND SPACE IN THE BODY; KNOWN AS KING OF ALL THE GLANDS AND SENDS ORDER TO ALL OTHER GLANDS. IT CONTROLS WILL POWER, OUR SIGHT, HEARING, MEMORY AND DISCRIMINATION. IT ALSO RECTIFIES THE FAULTS OF OTHER GLANDS.
IN CASE OF PREDOMINANCE, IT HELPS PEOPLE TO BECOME GREAT GENIUSES, EMINENT LITERARY MEN-POETS, SCIENTISTS, PHILOSOPHERS, AND LOVERS OF MANKIND.
AS THIS GLAND CONTROLS THE GROWTH OF THE BODY, SO ITS OVER WORKING LEADS TO MAKE PEOPLE PHYSICALLY LARGE IN SIZE. WHILE UNDER WORKING MAY RESULT IN MAKING THEM DWARFS.
THIS GLAND ALSO GOVERNS THE GROWTH OF THE MIND BRAIN. IT MAY BE DAMAGED DUE TO FEAR OR INJURY OR SOMETIMES, DUE TO TENSION DURING PREGNANCY. THIS ALSO LEADS TO THE MALFUNCTIONING OF OTHER GLANDS. THAT RESULTS IN MENTALLY RETARDED
CHILDREN. TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM A WOMAN DURING PREGNANCY SHOULD TAKE TREATMENT ALL ENDOCRINE GLANDS. WITH PROPER TREATMENT OF THIS GLAND THE PARENTS AND TEACHERS WILL GET AMAZING RESULTS. AS THE PINEAL AND PITUITARY GLAND IS
SITUATED IN THE HEAD IT IS HARMFUL TO HIT CHILDREN ON THE HEAD.
3) THYROID/PARATHYROID GLAND:
THIS GLAND PLAYS AN IMPORTANT PART IN DEVELOPMENT OF OUR BODY. AS IT DIGESTS CALCIUM, PHOSPHORUS ELIMINATES THE TOXINS. IT CONTROLS THE HEAT OF THE BODY AND THUS MAINTAINS HEALTH. MALFUNCTIONING OF THIS GLAND LEADS TO WEAKNESS, DISEASES EVEN TWISTING OF MUSCLES-RICKETS AND CONVULSIONS AND SO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CHILD IS RETARDED, THE CHILD BECOMES FAT AND DULL. SIMILARLY THE OVER WORKING LEADS TO OVERGROWTH, BULGING EYES, GOITER, AND TENDENCY TO BECOME BULLY. EVEN
AFTER PUBERTY IF THE GLAND NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY, IT LEADS TO PROBLEM OF CALCIFICATION-STONE. THE GLAND CONTROLS THE ELEMENT OF AIR AND SO THE LUNGS AND HEART.
IT ALSO HELPS BUILD HUMAN QUALITIES LIKE AFFECTION, LOVE, HIGH THINKING
AND CONCENTRATION, LEADING TO SELF CONTROL BALANCED TEMPERAMENT, PURITY OF HEART AND UNSELFISHNESS, WHEN IT IS DERANGED, A PERSON BECOMES MENTALLY UNSTEADY, TOO TALKATIVE AND UNGRATEFUL.
4) THYMUS GLAND:
THIS GLAND CAN BE CONSIDERED AS GOD MOTHER FOR THE CHILD. IT PROTECTS THE GROWING YOUNG CHILD AGAINST ANY DISEASE IF TREATMENT FOR TWO MINUTES IS GIVEN TWICE A DAY ON THE POINT OF THIS GLAND IN THE SOLES TILL THE CHILD IS ONE YEAR AND THEN ALSO IN TWO PALMS TILL THE AGE OF 12-15 ALONG WITH TREATMENT ON POINTS
OF ALL OTHER ENDOCRINE GLANDS AND ORGANS, THE CHILD WILL GROW AND DEVELOP PROPERLY IN BODY AND MIND.
ONCE THE BODY IS FULLY DEVELOPED THE GLAND SHRINKS AND STOPS ITS ACTIVITIES. HOWEVER, IF FOR SOME REASON, IT BECOMES ACTIVE, ITS PRODUCES DULLNESS AND GENERAL FATIGUE LEADING TO TOTAL INACTIVENESS.
5) ADRENAL GLAND:
THIS GLAND CONTROLS AND REGULATES THE FIRE ELEMENT OF THE BODY AND SO CONTROL SPLEEN, LIVER, AND GALL BLADDER AND ASSIST CREATION OF DIGESTIVE JUICES. QUALITIES LIKE KEENNESS OF PERCEPTION-UNTIRING ACTIVITY THE DRIVE TO ACTION INNER ENERGY AND COURAGE ARE DUE TO PROPER FUNCTIONING OF THIS GLAND. IT ALSO INTENSIFY THE FLOW OF BLOOD; HELPS PROPER OXYGENATION AND DEVELOPS ORGANISING POWER LEADS TO LEADERSHIP. IT PLAYS AN IMPORTANT PART IN CHARACTER BUILDING OF

PRESSUER. SUCH PERSONS BECOME FEARFUL, TIMID AND LOSE VIGOUR TO FACE PROBLEMS OF LIFE.
6) PANCREAS GLAND:
THIS GLAND REGULATES DIGESTION OF SUGAR-GLUCOSE IN THE BODY BY CREATING INSULIN. IN MODERN TIMES DUE TO EXCESSIVE USE OF SUGAR (NATURAL SUGAR FROM MILK, FRUITS, HONEY, IS EASILY DIGESTIBLE) IT HAS BECOME MORE NECESSARY TO LOOK
AFTER THE PROPER FUNCTIONING OF THIS GLAND. OVER FUNCTIONING OF THIS GLAND LEADS TO LOW BLOOD PRESSURE, MIGRAINE, HEADACHE, AND TIMES CREATES MORE DESIRE FOR SWEET FOODS LEADING TO DIABETES AND SWEET DRINKS LEADING SOMETIMES TO EVEN ALCOHOLISM.
7) OVARY-TESTES-SEX-GONAD GLAND:
THESE GLANDS MAINTAIN THE UNBROKEN CHAIN OF PROCREATION. THEY ALSO REGULATE WATER ELEMENT AND SO NERVES, CELLS, FLESH, BONES, BONE MARROW AND SEMEN.
MALFUNCTIONING OF THESE GLANDS IS NOTICEABLE ONLY WHEN CHILDREN START GETTING MATURE; AT THE AGE OF 12-14 GIRLS HAVE PROBLEMS OF MENSTRUATION LATE OR PAINFUL
OR TOO LITTLE, LEADING TO PIMPLES AND EXCESS IN THE BODY; OR SOMETIMES TOO MUCH BLEEDING LEADING TO ANEMIA. THIS LEADS TO RETARDATION IN THE GROWTH OF THE BODY
AS FOR BOYS THEY TURN TO SELF-ABUSE, START GETTING EROTIC DREAMS, BECOME SHY OFTEN DISTURBING THE GROWTH OF THE BODY AND BEARD. MOREOVER THIS CREATES PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS, WHICH IF NOT SOLVE IMMEDIATELY, MANY A TIME BECOME THE ROOT CAUSE OF UNHAPPINESS IN COUPLES IN EARLY MARRIED LIFE.

CHARMING WITH GOOD MANNERS AND AGREEABLE WORDS- AND THEY HAVE A FINE HEALTH. ITS DISORDER LEADS TO MAKE ONE SELFISH ENVIOUS CENSORI-OUS LUSTFUL AND OF ANGRY DISPOSITION.
8) LYMPH GLAND:
THIS IS NOT ENDOCRINE GLAND BUT BECAUSE OF ITS IMPORTANCE IT HAS BEEN INCLUDED HERE. IT CONTROLS THE IMMUNE DEFENCE SYSTEM OF OUR BODY, PREVENT THE FORMATION OF PUS ON ANY CUT OR BOIL ON THE BODY AND QUICKLY HEAL WOUNDS.
THIS GLAND HELPS TO CLEAR THE TOXINS FROM THE BODY AND CLEAR THE DEAD CELLS FROM OUR SYSTEM. BUT WHEN SUCH TOXINS AND DEAD CELLS ARE IN EXCESS IN OUR BODY THIS GLAND HAVE TO OVER WORK AND BECOME WEAK AND TENDER. AT THAT TIME WHEN PRESSING AT THE POINT OF THIS GLAND IT PAINS. IF SUCH PAIN CONTINUES THAT MEANS IT CAN NOT ABLE STOP THE MALIGNANT GROWTH FORMING FROM TOXINS AND DEAD CELLS.

BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE LACK THE
NECESSARY WILL POWER TO REFRAIN FROM SUCH BAD HABITS; THEY OFTEN BREAK THEIR VOWS TO STOP THE BAD HABITS AND SO THEY ARE CONSIDERED UNRELIABLE.
IT IS ONLY THE ACUPRESSURE THERAPY WHICH SHOWS THE PROPER WAY TO CONTROL THESE VITAL GLANDS IN A EASIEST WAY. AS THESE ENDOCRINE GLANDS ARE INTERRELATED IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE DEFECTS OF ONE GLAND IT IS NECESSARY TO GIVE TREATMENT ON
ALL THE OTHER GLANDS. THESE GLANDS ARE SITUATED DEEP INSIDE THE BODY AND SO A LITTLE MORE PRESSURE HAS TO BE APPLIED PREFERABLY WITH THE THUMB IN A VERTICAL POSITION OR AN UNSHARPENED PEN OR PENCIL
