Traditional Healings (no medicine required)

Traditional Healings (no medicine required)


The Chinese and Indian were among the earliest to come out with treatment methods that are still applicable today. Most of us have either use or seen an acupuncture treatment, acupressure, chi treatments, reflexology, herbal remedy and etc. As the title suggest, we will focus more on non medical treatments such as chi treatment, massage, acupressure, acupuncture and etc where no pills or medicine is being dispensed or taken.


The Methods of Healings

There are many methods of healings. Some people take pills and injection with the hope of getting healed. Some people turn to faith healers who do not use any medicine at all other than the blessed water. The Japanese Reiki directs the Chi to the patient hoping the chi will act on the affected area and cure the patient. The mind control method is also similar to the Reiki method. The former two methods have minimal physical contact. Western medicine is not suitable for most of the ailments pertaining to blood circulation and chi since the concept of chi is still not widely accepted in the west. Most Chi Kung, Yoga, Reiki and similar methods will use chi to heal. The results are highly unpredictable and you might need to go several times before you get cured. Sometimes the healer got ill as a result of absorbing the patient‘s Chi.


My method encompassed several techniques such as acupressure, massage, chi treatment, foot and hand reflexology and others. I also used the Traditional Chinese Medicine system.


Traditional Chinese Medicine System

Chinese medicine has been in existence for thousands of years. Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on the Viscera a general term for the internal organs (zhang fu). There are five yin viscera (zhang) and six yang viscera (fu). The five yin viscera are heart, lung, liver, spleen and kidney. The six yang viscera are gallbladder, stomach, large intestine, small intestine, bladder and triple warmer. The viscera are linked by meridian points (nadi for Indian) to help the body function. The Five Yin Viscera main characteristics are to generate and store chi. The Six Yang Viscera main characteristics are to receive and transport food and waste.


The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a system of healing based on Viscera incorporating the Five Element theory, Yin and Yang theory and the concept of Chi.

Chi is loosely translated as energy, air or breath. There are all kind of Chi in our body or around us such as yang chi, yin chi, primordial chi, stagnant chi and etc.

The Yin and Yang theory is the duality in nature as opposite and conflicting yet harmonious and attracting each other. The Chinese since more than 5000 years ago believe in the duality of nature. There is Man and Woman; the Sun and the Moon; the day and the night and etc. The man is by nature masculine while the female feminine. We cannot say which is better as everything in this world serves a purpose. In the ancient Chinese book Nei Ching states that “In Yin there is Yang and in Yang there is Yin”. The Chinese believe that in every male there is also some feminineness and in every female there is some maleness. The male force is called Yang and the female Yin. Accordingly, mankind is Yang and the underworld or ghost is Yin. Instead of using Yin or Yang, we can also substitute them with – (negative) or + (positive). In this context the negative element is the Yin element and the positive element is the Yang element. Even in Chinese Kung Fu there are two streams. You can train in the physical as well as the mental side. In Shao Lin Kung Fu you have the physical training in the various techniques. Of-course when they reached the higher level, mental training is necessary. As Shao Lin Kung Fu is a Buddhist system based on Ta Moa’s Mahayana Buddhist teachings, there should be lots of mental training. Mental training involved breathing exercises and meditation techniques. History has shown us that the weak can triumph over the strong as in David and the Goliath; Samson and Delilah and others. The Chinese has a saying “Hero cannot pass through beautiful maiden’s trap”. It simply means the hero might be strong and valiant but he is no match for the beautiful maiden. In Tao Te Ching (The Way) we find the admiration for water, which is soft but is able to slowly break down the hard rocks that happen to be in its way.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, a person’s Chi of both yin and yang must be in equilibrium in order for him or her to stay healthy. If a person has too much Yang Chi, he/she is short of Yin Chi (such as when a person has fever). The opposite can also happen (such as when a person got cold). At times, our body releases too much yang chi, could not sustain it, causing the fever to change into a cold and vice versa. At certain time our body produce certain type of chi and therefore affects our health when the chi is not in equilibrium.

Each of us has our own equilibrium Chi level above or below which we might fall sick. We cannot have too much chi or too little chi as this will make us unwell. Basing on this, I am inclined to think that as long as we decrease the chi level of those with too much Chi and increases the Chi for those in need for more Chi, most of the Chi related illness can be cured. Of course we must know where to add or subtract or else the patient might get worse. This is where the method of treatments will be most important. Most methods does not need the knowledge of meridian points, chi distribution, blood circulation and etc.





What is Chi / Bio-magnetism ?

Chi is the Chinese term loosely used for all kind of energy and breath. Chi is in abundant everywhere around and inside us. For instance we breathe in Chi all the time without even realizing it. It is in everything (anything living and dead). The walls of our bedroom absorb the chi from sunlight and they have chi in it even though it is not a living thing. Even corpses while decaying have chi in it. When we walk in the hot sun, the energy from the sun is automatically absorbed by our body. We have no control over it unless we can bar the absorption of chi. Masters highly skilled in chi might be able to feel the influx of negative chi but to shut oneself from the chi requires a higher degree of Chi manipulation competency. Similarly, if we mingle in a crowd, our chi will mingle and we absorbed each others’ chi. In winter or in cold weather, we automatically absorb Yin Chi. We needs CHI to survive. The generally held belief is that the more Chi one has, the more powerful one becomes. Many people would ask me to donate Chi to them. I would always reply that I can give them Chi but they might not be able to cope with it. Each of us have our equilibrium and optimum Chi level, above or below which, we might become unwell. Too much or too little Chi will make us become sick. Those familiar with Kundalini Yoga will know the ascent of the serpent from the base of the spine to the crown chakra can be far more dangerous than is revealed. I had nose bleeding and fever for several years despite taking young coconut water and Chinese herbal medicine (Wong lo Kat) every day. With the help of one of my masters, I was able to control the energy. What I lack then was the ability to release the energy from my head as I had more chi than I could handle. Now my body can withstand much more chi.


Chi is an invisible energy that helps us to become healthier, younger and stronger. All of us have Chi and the capacity to harness it. According to traditional Chinese Medicine, the body consists of blood, chi and body fluids (such as sweats and etc.). The blood transports the chi and body fluids around. When the blood flow is obstructed and the Chi cannot reach the area, we will have problem at that area. For instance, if we were to make a habit of sleeping on a certain side, that side of the shoulder would slowly become blocked causing the shoulder and fingers to feel painful and stressed. Over a period of time it will become more and more unbearable. This is due to the flow of blood and chi being obstructed.



Five Elements Theory

There are five main elements. They are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. Wood produces Fire which in turn produces Earth which in turn produces Metal which in turn produces Water which in turn produces Wood. Fire destroys Metal which in turn destroys Wood which in turn destroys Earth which in turn destroys Water which in turn destroys Fire. Fire exhausts Wood which in turn exhausts Water which in turn exhausts Metal which in turn exhausts Earth which in turn exhausts Fire. Any person who is interested in ancient Chinese knowledge such as Fung Shui, Traditional Medicine, Astrology, Martial Arts, Meditation and others should endeavor to perfect their understanding of the Five Elements.

Elements Production Cycle
Wood -------->  Fire --------->  Earth --------->  Metal -------->  Water --------->  Wood

Elements Destruction Cycle
Fire -------->  Metal --------->  Wood --------->  Earth -------->  Water ---------->  Fire

Elements Exhaust Cycle (opposite of the Production Cycle)
Fire -------->  Wood--------->  Water --------->  Metal -------->  Earth ---------->  Fire



The Five Elements can be used on a person body as follows:

Wood = Liver , Finger
Fire = Heart, Blood, Eyes
Earth = Stomach, Spleen
Metal = Lung, Large Intestine, Head, Skin
Water = Urinary Bladder, Kidney, Ears



Meridian points

These are points in our body where the acupuncture and acupressure physician will concentrate on to ensure your blood and chi circulations are in optimum level. The Indian term for meridian is nadi. Blockages in blood or chi circulation can be the cause of many illnesses which remain incurable to a Western trained doctor. I have personally cured an elderly lady who complained of pain near her shoulder. She had been unsuccessfully treated by the western trained doctor. She did not even know how she got the pain or why. It was only on probing further that I discovered she was actually sleeping on that side of the shoulder each night. After unblocking the blood and chi circulation, she was able to sleep peacefully without feeling any pain. I have also successfully cured numerous incurable illness such as tinnitus, psoriasis, severe back problem, arthritis, frozen shoulders and etc. The doctor /medical specialist would always  prescribe painkillers would give you temporary relief. It is not a cure does nothing other than numbing the nerves to deceive the brain to think there is no problem. This was the reason for Bruce Lee's death - ignoring the pain with painkillers. His body could not take it anymore and he went into a coma. He died without regaining consciousness.

In cancer treatment such as radio therapy and chemotherapy, all cells good and bad (with or without cancer) are killed. Most cancer patients died of such treatments due to the weak immune system. With a weak immune system, even a slight fever will kill you. You must build up your immune system with qigong, yoga and etc. When your immune system is stronger your chances of survival is higher.    

I am not saying Western medicine is useless, it is just that it is still unable to cure many diseases.
