Medication can only treat symptoms like fever and prevent secondary infections. Only the body\u2019s immune system is capable of fighting and destroying a virus. We already know that a balanced diet with all the necessary vitamins and minerals helps to maintain a strong immune system. However, there are also some methods used in traditional medicines that have been found to be highly effective in boosting immunity and can be seen as chronic disease management methods Two of these methods are colour therapy and acupressure. Both these methods have been used for millennia in different cultures to treat a variety of ailments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Colour therapy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Colour therapy is also called chromotherapy and involves using colours to treat different ailments. The therapy uses six colours that are associated with six Chakras of the body as well as the colour black. Each colour is effective in treating certain ailments. For example, indigo is used to regulate sleep cycles, while yellow is used for digestive problems.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To use colour therapy to boost immunity, you need to locate three chakra points on the back of either hand. Here\u2019s what you should do:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-54759 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/colour-therapy-2.jpg\" alt=\"Colour therapy for immunity\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep your pointer and middle finger together and separate them from your ring and pinkie finger.<\/li>\n<li>The point on the webbing between the middle and ring finger is the Root Chakra or first point.<\/li>\n<li>Mark it with a non-toxic black sketch pen.<\/li>\n<li>Measure halfway between this point and the centre of your wrist to find the Sacral Chakra and second point.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, the centre point of your wrist is the Solar Plexus Chakra and the third point.<\/li>\n<li>Each mark should be the size of a regular shirt button.<\/li>\n<li>Mark the points in the night and keep them for 8-10 hours. Do this for three months for the best effect.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Acupressure therapy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Acupressure follows the principle that energy flows through the body along with a network of meridians. All ailments can be linked back to a block in energy flow at certain points called acupressure points on these meridians. Applying pressure to these points helps to release the block and get the energy flowing again. With an unobstructed energy flow, the body heals.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-54721 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Acupressure-therapy.jpg\" alt=\"Acupressure therapy\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are three pressure points on the hand and forearm that can be used to boost immunity which you can use to protect yourself from Covid-19, here\u2019s how to find them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make a thumbs up sign. With the index finger of the other hand trace a straight line from the base of the thumb to your wrist. The point on the wrist is the pressure point.<\/li>\n<li>The second point can be found on the back of the forearm, about two fingers\u2019 width from the wrist and just between the two bones.<\/li>\n<li>The third point is just above the webbing between the thumb and index finger.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Apply gentle pressure on these points for a few minutes each day to help prevent illness.<\/p>\n<p>Reading more such article on our wellness and lifestyle articles and following these traditional medicine practices can help boost your immunity without any harmful side-effects.
