The Auto Massage
This comes under the chinese massage. As the name suggests it is done by one’s own hands. It is performed in perticular timings.
It has two goals:
First is improving blood circulation at microcirculation level including head and the ears. This circulatory regularization makes the functions of the brain (and of its nerve centres) and of the ears standardization possible. The effect comes at long term is to reduce the giddinesses.
The second effect is to ensure a good relief, by improving the sleep at night and on by ensuring the form during the day. This is not a treatment which works within fraction of seconds and immediately. But with the regularity and keenness one can get rid of all type of giddiness and worries.
These massages are taught systematically at the centers of neurology in hospitals of Chinese medicine in China. It is believed that they are a useful corollary, even essential medicamentous treatments and with grasses, acupuncture and the tuina.
