[See Book 3, Chart 25]
FIGURE 1 illustrates the head treatment for polarity reflex release of gas pressure in the head. The doctor stands behind the patient and gently places his finger tips under the hair, directly on the scalp. A short, gentle motion is used with light pressure on the scalp. The direction of the move is from one hand to the other, and this is repeated all over the head. Concentrate most efforts on the sore spots found here.
EYE TREATMENT: The center of sight and the motor area of the eye is in the cuneus of the occipital lobe of the brain. Sore spots over the occiput, about its middle region on each side, are polarity reflex areas for the eyes. Marvelous relief can be given to inflamed and watering eyes by this simple therapy. Gas stagnation in this center may be a reflex from the duodenum and the stomach through its mucous membranes. That is one reason why the umbilicus is treated for eye trouble. It is a well-known proverb that "The eyes are bigger than the stomach." This refers to the craving for foods and stimulants.
The treatment may also include draining the head, by tilting it back with one hand on the forehead while the thumb and knuckle of the first finger of the other contact the very sore spots on the middle and lower occipital regions. Hold it a moment, release, then repeat several times. For illustrations of this technique, see chart No. 49 in book II.
FIGURE 2 is a sketch of the soft palate, showing the index finger of the operator hooked under it in a lifting motion to release stagnant gases and polarity reflexes. The contact also raises the uvula, which is the positive pole for stomach and rectal polarity reflexes! This is described in detail in the chapter in this book entitled "GAS RELEASING TECHNIQUES ACCORDING TO POLARITY THERAPY." Rectal dilation is often indicated as a stimulant to activate the negative pole of elimination. As previously mentioned, this should be done with gloved, well-lubricated fingers and not with harsh dilators. Nature responds to intelligent applications; not to force, which it resents and will react violently to it if force is attempted.
FIGURE 3: When the gases have been released and the patient feels comfortable, the general spinal stretch is indicated as the last procedure in this series for stabilizing the relaxation of the entire body. For this particular application the patient lies on the table, face up. It is similar to that shown in chart No. 42 of book II. In this case the contact with the thumbs is on the jaw in order to release the corresponding polarity reflexes. The two middle fingers reach around to the back of the occiput, and the patient's head is slightly tilted forward so the chin is tilted downward. Then a gentle, rhythmic pull and relaxation is repeated again and again, like a rocking motion, until the patient is relaxed. The pull is just enough to move the body of the patient slightly in a gentle stretch. There should be no jerking and no attempt is made at making any adjustments at this time. Whatever adjustment is indicated, takes place automatically while giving this gentle stretch, and that is all that is needed here. IT IS WELL TO REMEMBER THIS POINT IN TREATING ALL DELICATE AND WEAK PATIENTS. To relieve pain by removing energy blocks and pressures is a technique in itself. Structural correction is a physiological procedure for future balance but not for acute pain.
