Let’s start...

TAWAS:[LDR1] Traditional Alternative/Asian Wellness Analytic System

Our ancestors are well-known when it comes to wellness massage.

TAWAS is a Filipino Traditional spiritual diagnostic system used by Hilot in

determining the cause of illness of the patient.

Nowadays, PJHA re-develop TAWAS as Hilot modality in determining

illness through Traditional Alternative/Asian Wellness Analytic System.

Hilot Wellness Modern Tawas consist of the following:

a. Palpation of hot and cold syndrome (Pagkapa)

Hilot Pagkapa [LDR2]is done with the palm at the surface of the hand palpating
the body surface of the patient in determining balance of hot and cold.

knotting of muscles and tissues. The objective of this procedure is to
palpate parts of the body for presence of lumps, protuberances, swelling.

Massage Pressure Areas

Learning the basics

You don‘t need to be a massage therapist to give a massage. You can use
simple touch techniques to help heal and soothe your friends and loved ones –
and even yourself and relieve pain, to give pleasure or simply to
express love.

Basic Massage Pressure Areas

The hand chart below shows in detail the different reflex points for the
various parts of the body and is based on the Zone Therapy and Ingham Method.

The body parts and organs follow how it is positioned in the human body
- going from the top of the head to the organs in the torso.

Certain body parts may seem out of place in the order of things as with
the spinal column which is along the edge of the hand below the thumb.

Another point to remember is the reflex points on the right hand

corresponds to the left side of the body and vice versa.

Here are basic steps to doing a hand reflexology massage.

1. Make sure to wash your hands to avoid skin irritations or transfer of

infections.

Use massage oils or lotion for easier and smoother manipulation of the
fingers and hands.

Use consistent pressure in a circular motion for 3 to 5 seconds before

moving to another area.

Refer to the reflexology hand chart for reference to the body part or area
you would like to focus on.

2. Start by rubbing your thumb on your palm in wide circles starting from the
center of the palm and working your way to the edges. Using a straight
motion, rub your thumb pad starting from the knuckles to the wrist. Use
light pressure as this move is to help you relax.

3. Grasp a finger and rotate at the joint in a counter-clockwise motion. Do this

for all the fingers.

4. Activate your hand pressure points by pressing the ends of each finger
between a thumb and forefinger.

5. With your thumb and forefinger, rub counter-clockwise circles starting at

the base of each finger to the tip.

6. Use gentle pressure to rub all over the palm, the pads of the fingers, and the
back of the hand working your way down to the wrist.

7. Drink water after each hand reflexology session to aid in expelling the wastes
and toxins in your system.

 HAND REFLEXOLOGY FOR RELIEF OF TENSION HEADACHE

 Target the solar plexus reflex, the spinal column reflex, and the pituitary
gland, and the eye reflex. Refer to the reflexology chart to locate the
correct pressure point.

 Apply pressure using a thumb crawling motion and circular movements

on the reflex points.

 Start with relaxing the body by working 7 to 10 circular motions with your
opposite thumb on the solar plexus reflex, just under the ball of the
middle finger.

 Do the other hand as well.

 Next, crawl your thumb on the opposite hand using even pressure on your
spinal column reflex on the side of your palm.

 Start at the base of your wrist and continue all the way to the top of your
thumb. Do this 4 times for each hand.

 Follow this up by applying pressure on the middle part of the thumb, the
pituitary reflex.

 Use your opposite thumb and press firmly 7 to 10 times for each thumb
pad.

Massage all over the thumb starting from the knuckle going to the top of
the thumb and going around the sides, the pads, and the nail bed with
quick thumb movements.
Do this for both thumbs.

Finally, ease the tiredness from your eyes by pressing on the fleshy part of
the balls of the pinkie and ring finger.

Use thumb crawling motions and make 4 passes over these two reflex
points.
Do this for both hands.
