Protocol C

Psoriasis & Skin Barrier Soothing

A clinical protocol designed to clear systemic "heat" and inflammation, calming dry plaque, itching, and flaking.

Ear Apex: Premier anti-inflammatory point; clears heat and calms acute itching.
Adrenal Gland: Stimulates endogenous anti-inflammatory cortisol response naturally.
Lung Zone: Restores skin hydration and cellular moisture retention.
Shen Men: Breaks the itch-scratch stress cycle by cooling nervous agitation.

Calm & Focus Protocols

Immediate neuro-somatic regulation. Downregulates the sympathetic fight-or-flight response while keeping the mind alert and clear.

Protocol A

Acute Panic & Overwhelm Grounding

When physical overwhelm peaks: tight chest, shallow breathing, or rapid nervous agitation.

Shen Men: Triggers release of endorphins and quiets sympathetic alarm signals.
Sympathetic Autonomic Node: Immediately dilates constricted vessels and slows breath.
Heart Point: Relieves feelings of dread and stabilizes pulse rate.

Protocol B

Composed Executive Focus

Designed for high-demand work days, negotiations, and exams. Sustains sharp attention without restless jitters.

Brain / Forehead Reflex: Clears mental fog and sharpens task focus.
Subcortex Point: Filters out background emotional reactivity.
Point Zero: Sustains mental endurance through long work sessions.

Protocol B

Physical Stamina & Workout Recovery

Strengthens muscular recovery, boosts physical stamina, and combats systemic morning fatigue.

Adrenal Gland Point: Enhances cellular energy synthesis and physical resilience.
Kidney Reflex: Governs core stamina, lower back support, and post-workout rebuild.
Thalamus Point: Promotes deep cellular recovery and reduces post-exertion soreness.
