According to him. nature has provided in
human body an in-built mechanism' to
maintain its functioning. The science of
health which makes use of this ‘in-built
mechanism’ is popularly known as
Acupressure.
Dr Gandhi considers this therapy to
be the most precious gift to mankind by
the Creator himself. Acupressure is a
science of nature which teaches us the
technique of how to send the current
(cbetand) to all the desired parts of the
body along the lines.
Acupressure therapy was known in
India 5000 years ago (Sushruta Sambitd).
Unfortunately, it was not preserved
properly and went 10 Ceylon in the form of
Acupuncture. From Ceylon, this therapy
was taken to China and Japan by the
Buddhist monks or nomadic Aryans and at
present China is teaching Acupuncture to
the world. This therapy was known to Red
Indians (nomadic Aryans who later settled
in the USA) way back in the sixteenth
century. In the twentieth century,
researches done in the USA have
contributed greatly to the development of this
therapy. It is practised by many allopathic and
naturopathic doctors there. Now the World
Health Organisation too has paid attention to
this simple and easy treatment.
The word Acupressure is related to
acupuncture. 'Acu' means a needle and
■puncture’ means to pierce. Acupuncture
means the art of treating diseases by
piercing specific points in the body.
Acupressure means the art of treating
diseases by applying pressure on specific
points with the help of one’s thumb or
unpointed things.
According to Acupuncture, Shiatsu or
Pointed Pressure therapy, there are about
900 points all over the body. Puncturing is i
done or pressure is applied on these points 1
to cure illness or pain or to create an
anaesthetic effect. However, this requires a
good deal of study and skill and so, a
layman cannot do it.
Swati (aged seven years), a polioaffected child could hardly stand on her
feet. Her parents, say that merely after 15
sittings with Dr Gandhi. Swati started taking
steps with little support. That speaks amplv
about the doctor's acumen.
Patients, reportedly cured by Dr
Gandhi include people of all age groups.
They all speak ven* high of Dr Gandhi’s
mode of treatment. Said a 70-year-old
patient Sheela Thapar, “I have almost
recovered from spondylitis and high blood
pressure through this miracle treatment.
However what impressed me most was
that no medicine was used.” ■
