JAMMU, Aug 26: Sujok therapy has kindled a “mild hope” of the parents of at least five deaf and dumb students of the School for Hearing Handicapped, being run by J&K Samaj Kalyan Kendra.
Sujok Therapy Clinic is being run at Day Care Centre, Exhibition Ground Jammu by Central Government Pensioners’ Welfare Association (CGPWA) under the guidance of Prof Kewal Krishan Sharma, a retired scientist, researcher, social activist who has been practicing Sujok Therapy at Dehradun after retirement.
Sujok therapy has been credited with cure of health problems relating to nervous system, indigestion, respiratory system, orthopedics, blood circulation, psychological disorder and uro-genital disorders. Sujok therapy is being tested on hearing and speech impaired children in the State for the first time.
In his first session of 20-minutes each, Dr Sharma gave Sujok treatment to nine 12th class students of School for Hearing Handicapped. “Positive” response in hearing was found in four of them, including one girl while another boy showed “a very little” response. First, he treated their thumb to trace the relevant point and then gave Sujok treatment on their ears. There was no response in three other boys, in fact their relevant points in their thumbs didn’t respond to the pressure.
After two such Sujok Therapy sessions, Dr Sharma was very cautious in making any claim of success even though “two of the students including a girl Priya heard the sound for the first time”. He said, “For me, such a positive result in the very first attempt is encouraging”. After trial treatment they could answer Doctor’s call and repeated his”words”. Their parents who were accompanying them were advised to give further Sujok therapy but they would be subjected to advanced hearing and speech tests to evaluate their condition.
Seeing good result of Sujok Therapy on these congenital deaf children, Dr. Sharma said that it would be useful for senior citizens whose hearing faculty gets affected. It has opened up alternate treatment option which has no side effects.
Sujok is unique therapy which is based on a concept of “Healing without Medicines” and natural treatment of all diseases. In Korean language, SU means hand and JOK means foot and this therapy is administered through hand & foot.
