Mr.Sunil Dutt, Actor and MP had been our One of successful and satisfied patient.

Acupressure is one of the several modalities of Acupuncture such as Moxibustion, Press Tags, Hot Needle, LASER and Electro Acupuncture. Acupressure is absolutely safe and follows the TCM paradigm of 5 Elements & 10 stems with palpation as a main diagnostic modality. It uses the meridian channels and points to tonify or disperse Qi and Blood. The basic pattern recognition and balancing Yin and Yang applies to acupressure. The beauty of Acupressure is that a TCM Acupuncturist Doctor can teach a few pressure points to the patient for home treatment especially in cases with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Tourettes and certain chronic pain cases.

The ancient Indian custom of Ear Piercing is an example of Auricular Acupressure on the Ear. It boosts the brain power and re-balances the Yin & Yang in a child. The idea stems from the discovery of Homunculus structure of the body in the Ear by Dr. Nogier of France considered to be the father of modern auricular acupuncture.

Interestingly there are points in the Ear that can be used to Jump Start the brain such as Jerome Point is for relaxation that boosts performance. This can be suitably used by students before taking a competitive exam without taking any designer drug. Even race horses respond well to Jerome Point and win races! Certain addictions can be treated with Ear acupressure to stop the craving. In many states in the US people convicted for Addiction are given two options - Option 1 - Acupuncture or Option 2 - Jail.

My congratulations to Mr. Singhal and his team for the good work and humane services that they extend to patients. My suggestion will be to include all modalities of Acupuncture to be a full service TCM clinic.
