LU11 Acupressure Treatment for Students Unable to Understand Lessons – A Natural TCM Method

Difficulty in understanding lessons, poor concentration, weak memory, and confusion while studying are common problems seen in students today. Many children and even adults complain that they attend class or read a chapter but still fail to understand or remember the topic. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Sujok Therapy, this condition is often linked to the imbalance of Lung Meridian energy, especially weakness in the LU11 point, located at the corner of the thumb.

Understanding the Problem

When lung energy becomes weak or scattered, the mind loses clarity. In TCM, the Lung controls “Qi” (energy) distribution in the body. If this Qi becomes disturbed, the brain does not receive proper energy flow, resulting in:

• Difficulty understanding lessons
• Slow comprehension
• Poor concentration
• Lack of interest in studies
• Unable to retain learning
• Mental tiredness and cloudy thinking

Such children often say:

“I study but I don’t understand anything.”
“Teacher teaches but I can’t follow.”
“I forget everything after reading.”

This is not a sign of low intelligence but of energy imbalance that can be corrected naturally.

What is LU11?

LU11 (Lung 11) is the last point of the Lung Meridian and plays a major role in clearing the mind and improving cognitive functioning. It is located:

At the radial corner of the thumbnail (outer nail corner).

In Sujok Therapy, stimulating LU11 helps improve oxygen flow, energy movement, and brain activity, resulting in more focus and understanding.

How LU11 Helps Students

According to TCM, stimulating LU11:

• Clears mental fog
  Improves concentration
  Boosts comprehension
  Strengthens memory
  Reduces anxiety and overthinking
  Helps the student stay calm and focused

This point is especially useful for:

• School-going children
• Students preparing for exams
• Individuals with learning difficulties
• People who read but cannot understand
• Adults with fatigued brain function

How to Use LU11 – Treatment Protocol

1. Acupressure

Press LU11 gently using a probe, finger, or a rounded pen cap.

Apply pressure for 1 minute each time, 2–3 times daily.

Both hands should be treated.

2. Seed Therapy

Use black pepper or mustard seeds.

Tape one seed on LU11 using micropore tape.

Keep for 6–8 hours daily, preferably during study time.

3. Magnet Therapy

Use a small yellow magnet (for tonification).

Place on LU11 using tape.

Treat for 2–6 hours daily.

4. Color Therapy

Apply yellow color with a sketch pen on LU11.

Yellow helps improve intellectual clarity and thinking speed.
