How to Cure a Cold (or Sore Throat)

I have been fortunate to have avoid getting a significant cold or sore throat for nine years using this simple technique derived from the ancient art of Thai Massage. There are ten main energy lines, called Sen Lines, in Thai Massage. These lines are different than Meridians in Chinese Medicine. Sen Lines are compressed and lengthened through the entire massage.

Almost ten years ago after I had recently taken a course in Thai Massage (By Margie Meshew with Universal Touch Inc.), I woke up about 3A.M. with a severe sore throat and sinus congestion. I cringed in pain every time I swallowed, and could only breathe through my mouth because of my congestion. This was possibly the worst sore throat of my life.

I remembered that my Thai Massage instructor had mentioned that a Thai Massage is still a medical treatment in Thailand. The class was my first massage seminar and I was still a massage student in school. So I bought every poster, chart, book and video that she had to offer. I immediately found my book and frantically searched for which Sen Line would treat my sore throat and congestion. Once I found it, I started treating it.

I wasn't even half way up on my first pass and I swallowed with very little pain. Then my sinuses opened one at a time. After treating Sen Lawusang, I moved to the other side and treated Sen Ulangka. Five minutes later there was no trace of any cold or sore throat symptoms! Since then I have treated both lines and have treat others with great success. Here is my quick sketch of the two Sen Lines and a little bit of information on how to treat them.
