SEED MASSAGE (SEED-THERAPY) 18

For seed-therapy all kind of seeds with different shape and size can be used, leading to quality mas­sage of the pain points. It is preferable round seeds to be used.

Very appropriate for seed-therapy is the pepper. Its seeds are with a relief surface and the massage with them is excellent. Further more the pepper has an addi­tional warming up effect on the skin.

Put on the pain points you have found a seed of some plant – pepper, a pit of cherry or some other fruit, millet, soy-bean etc. and fix it with a piece of adhesive tape.

Bigger seeds are put on the soft parts of the hand or foot – for instance on the palm or arch.

Smaller seeds are put where the bones are close to the skin – for example on the upper part of the fingers.

If you have the chance use “live” seeds. These are seeds that can sprout. The live seeds’ energy exchange with the pain point is very active and this furthers the more successful passing off of the treat­ment process.

It is very important the seeds to be placed exactly on the pain points. When you press them, you should feel pain. If they are not on the right spot, you won’t feel pain and there will be no healing effect.

The adhesive tape should be of high quality and your hands should be well dried, this is a guarantee for a sta­ble fixation. If the weather is hot and your skin is sweat­ing, dry it with talc or kid powder.

When the pain points are more or form a pain area, make a “carpet” of seeds and cover the whole area with it.

Make the carpet of seeds arranging the seeds on an even surface in the needed shape and press them slightly with the sticky side of a piece of adhesive tape. Then the adhesive tape with the seeds is placed on the pain area and is additionally fixed with a bigger piece of sticking plaster if necessary.

The carpet of seeds should not be bigger than the pain area.

On every three-four hours massage the fixed with adhesive tape seeds for one-two minutes, using pressure and rotary movements of the thumb.

You should massage for 1-2 minutes, not just press the seeds from time to time. When you do the massage, look at your watch. Don’t estimate the time intuitively. Because the massage is quite painful, twenty-odd sec­onds may seem to you like more than two minutes and you can stop before a powerful enough healing impulse is created.

Be careful not to wait too much, because a blister can appear!

When you want to massage with one seed only, move the skin together with the seed to place it on the pain point and then start massaging.

When you massage using a carpet of seeds, change the centre of the thumb pressure until you feel the most painful area under the carpet. Focus the massage on this area.

Change the seeds after 24 hours.

It is considered that for 24 hours the seeds emit their energy and that’s why they must be changed. Besides, they become soft because of the skin moisture.

It is very convenient to put seeds on the feet. There they can’t be noticed and don’t focus attention. In addi­tion, the shoes press them and when you walk they make constant, intensive massage. Thus it is not nec­essary for you to massage the points on every three- four hours.

Choose seeds that do not hurt the leg but can be felt by walking.
