Blue Water technique: Mode of meditation advanced by Lawrence LeShan, Ph.D., in Meditating to Attain a Healthy Body Weight (Doubleday, 1994). It involves using one's consciousness to search one's body for the source of hunger or pain. The meditator locates the source and, three times, visualizes blue water slowly filling the area and then draining from it.

Watsu (Water Shiatsu): This specific form of bodywork developed by Harold Dull combines traditional shiatsu pulls and stretches while floating the patient in a pool of warm water. Because of the support of the water, practitioners can often work with patients whose physical disabilities may preclude the use of normal shiatsu.

cupping (cupping method, cupping therapy; called the horn method in ancient China): Variable method akin to moxabustion.

The practitioner may use a cup made of glass, metal, or wood (notably bamboo) and burn alcohol, alcohol-soaked cotton wool, herbs, paper, or a taper therein. Before or after the burning is complete, the practitioner applies the cup upside-down to a relatively flat body surface and leaves it in this position for five to ten minutes. Results include erythema (reddening of the skin due to capillary expansion), edema (excessive fluid accumulation in tissue spaces), and ecchymoses (purple discoloration of the skin due to rupture of blood vessels).

The above description relates to fire cupping (the fire cupping method), which has several forms. Other forms of cupping include the acupuncture cupping method, the air pumping cupping method, and the water cupping method.

dowsing (divining, questing, water witching): means of gaining insight into the diagnosis and treatment of physical and emotional health problems (see radiesthesia.).

Dowsing encompasses forms of remote diagnosis: one involving a recent photograph of the subject, another a stand-in (proxy) for the subject. Elementary dowsing tools include the forked branch (divining rod) and the pendulum. Dowsing's principle is that human thoughts transcend human bodies, species, and spacetime as usually conceived.

hydropathy (water cure): Near-panacean, purificatory use of water internally and externally. Silesian farmer Vincenz (Vincent) Priessnitz (1791-1851) originated hydropathy early in the nineteenth century in Germany. Msgr. Sebastian Kneipp (see kneipping) revived it in the same century. Hydropathy survives mainly in the context of kneipping.

lemonade diet (lemon cleansing, master cleanser): One of the three major components of a theistic system of self-healing developed by Stanley Burroughs and expounded by him in Healing for the Age of Enlightenment (1976).

Lemon cleansing is a mono-diet variation wherein one ingests daily, for ten to 40 or more days, nothing except 60 to 120 ounces of a drink that consists of lemon (or lime) juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper (red pepper), and water.

Its main principle is that lemons and ripe limes have unique anionic properties to create the energy necessary for health maintenance. Another of its principles is that Nature creates infections to assist in burning one's surplus wastes.

Astringent

Air & earth increases vata and mitigates increased pitta and kapha. It cleans the blood and causes healing of ulcers. Like bitter, it too dries up moisture from fat. It absorbs water, causing constipation and hindering digestion of undigested food. Its excess use causes stasis of food without digestion, flatulance, pain in the cardiac region, emaciation, loss of virility, obstruction of channels and constipation.

Synergy Dance: blend of Qigong, World dance, yoga, and the subtle energy awareness and elements (earth, air, fire, water, and ether) of Polarity Therapy. Polarity therapist Charmaine Lee, born in South Africa, created the method and in 1987 founded the Synergy Dance & Healing Arts Center, in Washington, D.C.

diet #7 (Diet No. 7): Healing regimen recommended by George Ohsawa (see macrobiotics) in Zen Macrobiotics: The Art of Rejuvenation and Longevity (1965). It principally involves restricting dietary intake (including water) to brown rice and particular kinds of tea (as little as possible) for a period of one week to an indefinite number of months. The objective of diet #7 and the nine other diets of Zen Macrobiotics is to maintain balance of yin and yang.

Haoma (Avestan) Hum (Pahlavi) Homa (Persian) The Tree of Life; there are two haomas: the yellow or golden earthly haoma, which when prepared and used as an offering for sacrifice is the king of healing plants, the most sacred and powerful of all the offerings prescribed in the Mazdean scriptures. This haoma is equivalent to the Hindu soma -- the sacred drink used in the temples, and is said to endow he who drinks it with the property of mind.

The white haoma (or hom) is called the Gokard, the sacred tree of eternal life created by Ahura Mazda which grows up in the middle of the Farakhard ocean (unbounded ocean or the waters of space), surrounded by the ten thousand healing plants, created by Ahura Mazda to counteract the 99,999 diseases created by Angra Mainyu. By the drinking of the Gokard men will become immortal on the day of the resurrection, according to the Bundahish. From the white haoma was also cut the sacred baresma of the Mobeds.

In later esoteric Persian literature, Simorgh takes the place of haoma at the top of Mount Alborz. It finally becomes the mythical bird that brings happiness and good fortune to those he protects.

The fruit of the haoma was the fruit of the tree of knowledge and wisdom (later transformed into the forbidden fruit), similar to the apples of wisdom and the pippala.

radiesthesia (clairvoyant healing, medical dowsing, medical radiesthesia): Method of ostensible diagnosis and treatment selection. The word radiesthesia is the anglicized form of radiesthesie, an apparent euphemism for dowsing coined by the Abbe Alex Bouly in 1927. It literally means perception of radiation. Dowsing (see above; also called biolocation) is a clairvoyant art centered on finding water, minerals, animals, missing persons, lost objects, or hidden treasure, usually with an instrument such as a pendulum or divining rod (a forked rod or tree branch, or a bent wire).

Radiesthesia may refer to:

(a)   all forms of dowsing;

(b)  medical dowsing specifically;

(c)   dowsing and radionics; or

(d)  the ability to detect biological radiations.

Bouly and two other French priests - the Abbe Alexis Mermet and Father Jean Jurion - pioneered medical dowsing. Mermet's hypothesis was threefold:

(1)  everything emits radiation,

(2)  some kind of current flows through human hands, and

(3)  holding appropriate objects renders them revelatory tools.

There are two basic diagnostic modes of radiesthesia: In one, practitioners detect and diagnose illness simply by passing their hands over the patient. In the other, they hold an instrument (see pendular diagnosis) over the patient or over a sample of tissue or body fluids, a photograph of the patient, or one of the patient's belongings (e.g., an article of clothing). In the latter form of radiesthesia, practitioners base diagnosis on the movements of the instrument.
