Sujok Therapy
Sujok Therapy can be used to provide relief to the eyes. The highlighted area (see pics) are corresponding points for eyes and brain. Press the point with a probe for 4 to 5 minutes, then apply moong seeds. Keep them in place for 2 to 3 hours. This may provide instant relief.
Sujok Therapy and the remedies mentioned are not a substitute for professional medical diagnosis or treatment. Consult a qualified healthcare professional for persistent or worsening eye symptoms.
