However, yogis in India were aware of their great importance and working even before Ayurveda and have described them as chakras.
These main endocrine glands produce 140 types of internal secretions which on getting mixed with blood go to build up the body and maintain it in a healthy condition.
- Yogis have shown that these endocrine glands also mold the mind and character.
- The main functions of these glands are to maintain the metabolism-control of five basic elements of the body, to regulate the functions of all the organs and the brain and to adjust the body against changing environment and thus protect it against any illness.
- These glands play a very important role not only in the development of our body and mind, but also in the development of our looks and even character.
Psychological Effect Of Endocrine Glands:
- From my experience, I have found that even psychological problems are connected with one or the other endocrine glands and the treatment of the same has given wonderful results. Thus these endocrine glands play a vital role in our well-being and happiness.
- If these endocrine glands of our body do not function properly, it affects our nature. For example, if the Adrenal is not functioning properly, working of the liver is affected and one becomes fearful, peevish and ill-natured; if Sex glands are overactive one becomes passionate and selfish.
- If the Thymus is not normal one becomes bad-tempered; if Pituitary is not normal one is pitiless, doer of crimes and which leads one to become a thief, a dacoit – even a murderer.
- It is, therefore, most necessary to control these endocrine glands which can be easily done with Acupressure.
Endocrine Glands
There are seven endocrine glands in the body, which are interrelated and dependent on each other and assist each other. So when treating one gland, it is necessary to treat the other glands.
- In case of any problem which persists for eight to ten days, you will find that there is a pain on points of Thyroid or Parathyroid. They are the barometers of the body.
- In case of chronic problems, you will observe that points of more than one endocrine gland would be hurting when pressed.
Thymus Gland:
- This is a very important gland and can be considered as a godmother for a child. It protects the growing child against any disease.
- The child will develop properly in body and mind, if treatment for two minutes is given twice a day on the point of this gland in the soles till the child is one year and also in the two palms till the age of 12/15 along with treatment on points of all the other endocrine glands and organs.
- Once the body is fully developed, this gland gradually shrinks and stops its activities, its functional tissue being replaced by fatty tissue.
- However, if for some reason, it becomes active, it produces dullness and general fatigue leading to total inactiveness of selected muscles (known as Myasthenia). The point of this gland is situated under point no. 30 and as such deeper pressure is to be applied to reach the Thymus gland.
Thyroid Or Parathyroid Glands :
These glands play an important role in the development of the child’s body. As it digests calcium and eliminates poison, toxins, they assist in controlling the heat of the body and thus maintains its health.
- If these glands do not function properly, it leads to weakness, disease – even twisting of muscles – rickets and convulsions and so the development of a child is retarded – the child becomes fat and dull.
- Similarly, the overworking of this gland leads to over-growth- bulging eyes, goiter, protruding Adam’s apple and tendency to become a bully. Even after puberty if this gland does not function properly, it leads to problem of calcification – stone.
- These glands control the element of air and so the lungs and the heart. It also helps build human qualities like affection – love capacity for high thinking and concentration, leading to self control – balanced temperament, purity of heart and unselfishness.
- When it is deranged, a person becomes mentally unstable too talkative and ungrateful. When these glands are damaged along with Sex glands, women during pregnancy and or after child birth or removal of ovaries, tend to become plumy and put on weight around the abdomen and waist.

- On the 4th day both the patients showed signs of improvement and within 40 days they were completely cured. “As these glands are barometers of the body, there is a hurting on when there is a complaint that persists over 8/10 days.
- When these glands are not functioning adequately there is a deficiency of calcium, so it is also necessary to make up the deficiency of the body by taking calcium-cal. Phos + cal. flour 12 or 30 power (biochemical medicines) 3 pills in the morning and 3 pills in the evening for 45 days.
Ovaries-Testes-Sex-Gonad Glands :
These glands maintain the unbroken chain of procreation and also regulate the water element and also nerves, cells, flesh, bones, bone marrow and semen. Malfunctioning of these glands is noticeable only when the children start getting mature at the age of 12 to 14.
- Girls have problems of menstruation – late or painful or too little-leading to pimples and excess heat in the body, or sometimes too much bleeding leading to anemia. This leads to underdevelopment of the body.
- As for the boys, they turn to masturbation, start getting erotic dreams, become shy – often disturbing the growth of the body and beard. Moreover, this creates psychological problems, which if not solved immediately, often become the root cause of unhappiness in newly married couples.

- Further, these glands secrete sex hormones. Insufficient working creates rigidity and problems during menopause. Sometimes, the root cause of infertility can be traced to the damaged condition of sex glands of the couple.
- ‘A doctor couple had no issue even after 14 years of their marriage. Both of them started treatment on the points of these glands and within 15 months, they became proud parents of a baby girl.’
Pancreas Glands:
- These glands regulate digestion of sugar-glucose in the body by creating insulin. In modern times due to excessive use of sugar (not the natural sugar found in cereals, fruits, milk, honey, which is easily digestible) it has become essential to look after the proper functioning of this gland.
- Furthermore, as per the latest research, it has been. observed that over functioning of this gland leads to low Blood Pressure, Migraine headache, and at times creates more desire for sweet foods and sweet drinks leading to diabetes and sometimes to Alcoholism.
- “Mrs. G, wife of an Income tax officer, had severe migraine since many years. She started taking Acupressure treatment and within 15 days she was completely cured.”
- “Mr. P, an Acupressure’s, observed that this pancreas gland was overworking in all sixty workers who were feared to be alcoholics. He showed them how to take treatment. More than 70% of the workers stopped drinking alcohol.”
Adrenal Glands:
- These glands control and regulate the fire element of the body and so control the spleen, liver and gall bladder and assist in the creation of Biles and digestive juices.
- Qualities like keenness of perception, untiring activity, the drive to action, inner energy and courage are due to proper functioning of these glands.

Case Study:
“A Prince had lost interest in life from the age of 16. He stopped studies in the final year of University and had no interest even in sex. So, he did not marry. At the age of 31, after he unsuccessfully tried treatment under various therapies, he consulted an acupressure’s.
- On examination, his thyroid and adrenal glands were found to be damaged. The acupressure’s told that the cause of all his troubles was some type of deep fear, a severe shock which had damaged his adrenal gland.
- The King admitted that the Prince had at the age of 16 joined him on a hunt and had fallen down from the horse and was miraculously saved from a tiger. Since then he had hallucinations and lost interest in life.

- Thereon that day he came with a smiling face only to inform me that he wanted to live long and enjoy life.” His desire to commit suicide had disappeared, Similarly, thousands of such cases can be quoted.
Pituitary Gland:
This gland controls air and space in the body. This gland is like a master of all glands and sends orders to all the other glands. It controls will-power, sight, hearing, memory and discrimination. It also rectifies the faults of the other glands.
- In the case of its predominance, it helps people become great geniuses, eminent literary men, poets, scientists, philosophers and lovers of mankind.
- As this gland controls the growth of the body, so its over-working leads people to become physically large in size. While its insufficient functioning may result in making them into dwarfs.
- This gland also governs the growth of the hindbrain. This gland may be damaged due to fear or injury or sometimes due to tension during pregnancy. This also leads to the malfunctioning of other glands.
- And that results in mental retardation in children. So if the problem of mentally retarded children is to be solved, the pregnant women should take treatment on all endocrine glands and avoid damage to the fetus.
- Further, it is observed that in those glands and sends orders to all the others. It controls the will-power, sight, hearing, memory and discrimination. It also rectifies the faults of the other glands.
In case of its predominance, it helps people to become great geniuses, eminent literary men, poets, scientists, philosophers and lovers of mankind.
- As this gland controls the growth of the body, its over-working leads people to become physically large in size, while its insufficient functioning may result in their becoming dwarfs.
- This gland also governs the growth of the mind and brain. This gland may be damaged due to fear or injury or sometimes, due to tension during pregnancy.
- This also leads to the malfunctioning of the other glands. And that results in mentally retarded children. The pregnant women should take treatment on all the endocrine glands. This will avoid damage to the fetus.
- Further, those children whose gland is not working sufficiently, tend to become mean, heartless, mischievous and bullies, liars and disobedient.
- They are even led to steal. With the proper treatment of this gland, in most cases the parents and teachers will get amazing results. As this gland and the pineal gland are situated in the head, it is harmful to hit the children on the head.
- This gland could be damaged during pregnancy and childbirth, which can lead to malfunctioning of the other glands especially sex glands which in turn can lead to obesity after childbirth. All these prove the great importance of maintaining this gland in proper working order.
Case Study:
“A 16-year-old girl from a well-to-do family was reported to be stealing petty things from her classmates and no amount of persuasion, scolding or even corporal punishment had any effect on her.
- An acupressure’s found that the point of her pituitary gland was tender and on further examination her sex glands were also found to be damaged.
- On enquiry she admitted that she had scanty as well as painful menses which was the root cause of her habit of stealing. She started taking Acupressure treatment and within 15 days, she stopped stealing and within 45 days, her menses became normal.”
- If the growth of the body and brain is not normal, give treatment on point no. 3 in the middle of the thumbs and big toes, to give necessary stimulation.
Pineal Gland :
It acts as an organizer and controller of all the glands. It controls the development of the glands and regulates them. Malfunctioning of this gland leads to high blood pressure and also premature awakening of sex glands resulting in sexual delinquency.
- Moreover, it controls the potassium or sodium balance in the body and so its malfunctioning leads to excessive retention of fluids in the body which can be mistaken for a serious kidney problem.
- Its less working leads to sweating of palms or soles even in cold weather. It controls the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and thus keeps all the glands and body vitalized, strong and healthy.
- It is also known as the primitive third eye. The predominance of this gland generates a sense of sublimity – helping men grow into sainthood, endowed with divine qualities.
- These people have great wisdom and tenderness of heart, and also strong will-power and so are not affected by physical sufferings or sorrow.
Lymph Glands :
Although they are not endocrine glands, because of their importance, they have been included here. The point of these glands is under in the middle of the wrists.
- They control the immune defense system of our body, prevent the formation of pus on any cut or boil on the body and quickly heal the wounds.
These glands help clear the toxins from the body – clear the dead cells from the system. - But when such toxins and dead cells are in excess, these glands have to overwork and they become weak and tender. At that time, when you press on the point of these glands, it pains.
- If such pain continues, it means that these glands are not able to stop the malignant growth forming from toxins and dead cells. As such the first symptom to detect Cancer even at a very early stage is to find out whether there is any pain on this gland.
- Moreover, it has also been found that if there is a pain on these glands and also on the point of pancreas, it indicates diabetes, increase of glucose in the blood.
- Thus, you will observe that to prevent Cancer and sugar in the blood, it is most necessary to keep these glands in active condition. Further hurting on this denotes possibility of HIV/AIDS.
Increasing Will Power
Our mind has a great effect on these glands. For example, continuous fear damages the pituitary gland and makes one timid. Similarly, tension and worry disturb the pineal gland and so lead to high blood pressure and as pineal gland controls the other glands, it disturbs other glands and the digestive system.
- In modern times, stress, tension or worry have increased and often they disturb these endocrine glands. If these endocrine glands are not treated immediately, it might lead to malfunctioning of the other glands in the body.
- As these glands are interrelated, whenever one gland is disturbed, the other glands are also disturbed. When you press on the points of these endocrine glands, you will observe pain on the points of more than one gland – especially in case of chronic diseases.
- Therefore, it is very important to give treatment on all the endocrine glands and keep them under proper control. Since these glands also control the mind, the will- power.
- So in order to get rid of bad habits like smoking, drinking alcohol, drug addiction or even over-eating, it is necessary to give treatment on all the endocrine glands for at least 15 days.
- Because, these people lack the necessary will-power to refrain from such bad habits, they often break their vows to stop such bad habits and are considered unreliable.
- However, a treatment of 15 days will give them the necessary will-power to stop these bad habits on the sixteenth day. And they will be free from the evil effects of these bad habits.
- “A Government officer had the habit of drinking alcohol every evening. He started Acupressure treatment and drank hot water in the evening. Surprisingly enough he succeeded in getting rid of his habit of drinking.”
“A young man was addicted to drugs. In spite of many persuasions by his mother and brother, he continued breaking vows and taking drugs.
- He was advised Acupressure treatment and so after one month he got himself freed not only from drugs but also from smoking and even masturbation.”
- It has been observed that if children are taught to take this treatment from an early age of 8-10; not only will their physical growth be normal.
- But they will have no problems at the time of puberty and inclination towards delinquency and they will become attractive and will develop a well- balanced outlook on life and will be able to live happily as good citizens.
- If the police department tries this treatment on the juveniles and criminals, it will be possible to reduce the crime rate.
Psychological Problems
Many problems which are considered to be psychological are the result of improper functioning of these endocrine glands. So, with the proper treatment on these glands, such problems can be easily solved, example.
- “A girl with a bright record in school, had at the age of 17, a typical problem. About 45 days before her examinations, her hands would start shivering a few minutes after she started studying and the book would fall down.
- So, she was not able to prepare for the examination and day by day she became more nervous. An Acupressure’s was consulted. He found her adrenal gland to be tender- damaged.
- On further examination her sex glands were also found to have been disturbed. She admitted that she had profuse bleeding before this complaint started. She started taking Acupressure treatment and in due course passed the examination creditably.”
- It has been admitted by allopathic practitioners that by taking unnatural hormones like osteogeny to counter the effects of menopause and osteon paresis, the possibility of developing cancer in the body greatly increases.
- The best way to control hormonal balance, is to take treatment on at least twice a day. That will ensure that this natural phenomenon of menopause passes away without any side effects.
- Moreover, when sex glands are disturbed, thyroid and parathyroid glands are also disturbed, leading to decalcification – leading to fracture or forming of stones. As such, treatment and other endocrine glands is necessary.
It has been observed that in the case of the cancer, as the disease progresses, these endocrine glands become increasingly tender, and because of overworking.
- They become tired and eventually stop secreting the most vital hormones in the body and damage the very metabolism of the body and at this stage this disease is considered malignant, and if proper treatment is not taken, it develops rapidly and becomes deadly.
- Hence, the great importance of controlling all these endocrine glands must be properly realized. If all these endocrine glands are controlled properly and thereby all the organs, the possibility of cancer becomes remote.
- In case of severe damage due to overworking or underworking of any of the endocrine glands i.e. hypothyroid, the same treatment as mentioned for cancer is to be taken.
- It is only Acupressure which shows the proper way to control these vital glands in the easiest way. As these endocrine glands are interrelated, in order to correct the defects of one gland, it is necessary to give treatment on all the endocrine glands.
- These glands are situated deep inside the body and so a little more pressure preferably with the thumb in a vertical position or unsharpened pencil or harder massage on the glands will be necessary.
