Aug 12, 2003 The Ninth Day of Treatment

I was very excited today because doctor promised to teach me to press some kinds of acupoints that were responsible for the health of people's eyes.

It is my curiosity towards the acupoints or my sincere requirement that moved the doctors, they finally agreed to teach a simple method to press the acupoints that care for eyes. First a doctor put his thumb on my temple and scraped my eyepit sharply, which caused pains that hurt me a lot."Stop! Stop!"I cried out with those indescribable pains.

Then he lay his forefingers and middle fingers on the acupoints along side both sides of nose. Surely a souring feeling, sensed by the deep press of his forefingers, marked the correctness on the right acupoints..

Besides these two postures, I was taught another three or four ones. The doctor also suggested me to practice it everyday, which would be helpful to the health of my eyes. Although I couldn’t understand the theory in the acupoints treatments, I tried the methods that I just learned. To my surprise, when seeing the things I felt extremely comfortable on my eyes. I immediately told my experience to the doctors. They smiled and told me that the eye exercise I learned just now named"eye caring exercise"that even pupils in China could do it

In order to improve my correctness, I requested doctors to inspect my acts while I underwent it again. When doctor asked for the reason, I told them I wanted to learn it well and be competent to be a teacher for my family and friends in my homeland to give them a try on this magic Chinese acupoints. And I think they will become interested in it.
