Dien Chan defines the bases of face reflexology. The Pr. Bùi Quốc Châu, Vietnamese acupunctor, establishes in 1980 a method to discover energetic points on the face, all different from the already known of acupuncture. Combining the philosophical theories (I Ching, Tao and popular Vietnamese culture) with his observations of similarity of shape, he manages to establish, thanks to clinical checkings on thousands of patients, the map of fixed points of Dien Chan.

Throughout the years, he continues his investigations with the intention of helping the patients to take the reins of his health. In 1984, he manages to leave the needles on having verified that the stimulations of acupressure provide rapid and deep effects. Later, studying the energetic theories of the Dr. Fitzgerald and reflexology system of the Dr. Nogier, he verifies that his fixed points on the face describe diagrams of projection of the whole body. He draws then more than 25 diagrams that allow multiple combinations to obtain very fast results so much in the relief of the pains than the treatment of chronical disorders.

Because every patient is different and no method is universal, Pr. Châu continues investigating to improve the results and to adapt Dien Chan to the majority.

Being based in the philosophical beginning of yin and yang, we use multireflex tools that allow to obtain an energetic and fast reequilibrium.

Dien Chan is multireflexology because it combines yin and yang effects of the tools on the diverse diagrams of projection. Also, the map of fixed points allows us to complement the treatments and to consolidate the results.

This book has been written for our courses and contains all the information that Professor Bùi Quốc Châu collected during the process of creating his method. We have been adding to these notes during the course of our studies with the professor and his team at the Việt Y Ðạo Centre in Saigon. You can complement the study with the Faceasit application that helps you to practice and design protocols.

Multireflexology - Dien Chan

Preface

Since 2001, we have been working in close collaboration with the Việt Y Ðạo Centre in Saigon, the Dien Chan clinic of Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu in Vietnam. In this time, we have set up the clubqc called now: Escuela Internacional de Multirreflexología - Dien Chan (EiMDC, International School of Multireflexology - Dien Chan). We have created the training programs for each level, adapting all of Professor Châu’s notes and teaching to a Western educational system. Only four levels are necessary to understand, learn and practice the original method of Dien Chan. Beware with dilutions.

In addition to publishing the complete book of Dien Chan in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Italian, with the help of this new 21st-century support, we now offer the definitive multireflexology application called Faceasit. Since it was created, the technique has continued to evolve, and we want to share these advances with our students and followers. For the occasion, we have redrawn all the Dien Chan projection diagrams according to the historic tradition of the technique and accumulated experience. All those new diagrams of projection are included in this book as well as the corrections of the map of fix points.

The club Dien Chan

Organized into a group of accredited trainers, we propose certified courses in Multireflexology - Dien Chan in various countries in Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean, Polynesia and Africa.

All our students receive the same full program, with no simplification of its fundaments or the original multireflexology method. Our integrated courses are also hosted by leading international institutions and schools in the field of natural therapies.

We will soon teach in Canada, Australia and USA to answer the demand of serious courses of the original facial reflexology method.

From level 1 of a Dien Chan course, students are members of the EiMDC club, created to support and accompany them as they learn. The club offers a private online space with teaching materials and guidance to complement your professional treatments. +info on the EiMDC web site: www.multireflexology.com

Introduction

Introduction

The Việt Y Ðạo centre is the charity clinic were Pr. Dr. Bùi Quốc Châu receives and treats patients. He found this health centre to help poor people to learn how to treat themselves. Nowadays, his sons and other Dien Chan therapists are ruling the centre and treat average 70 people a day. Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu organizes every year courses in Vietnamese for his patients in the Việt Y Ðạo school. He also teach Vietnamese massages and dietetic as well as philosophy.

D

ien Chan is a method of facial reflexology established by Professor Bùi Quốc Châu, a Vietnamese practitioner and teacher of acupuncture, in 1980. It deals with the various pressure points on the face and which are different from those already known to acupuncture.

By combining the theories of I-Chin1, Tao and popular Vietnamese culture - and relying on detailed observation of similarities and differences in facial shape, plus clinical trials on thousands of patients – Professor Châu created a map to show the fixed points of his new system, Dien Chan.

In 1984, after several years of research into ways to help patients manage their health, he proved that pressure point stimulation has rapid and profound effects.

As a result, he no longer needed to use acupuncture needles in his treatments.

Later, after studying Dr. Fitzgerald’s energy theory and Dr. Nogier’s2 reflexology system, Professor Châu verified that certain parts of the body are “reflected” in fixed points on the face. As a result, he created more than 25 diagrams to show various ways to achieve rapid relief from pain, whether caused by structural problems or chronic disorders.

Knowing that every patient is different and that no single method works in the same way for everybody, Professor Châu continued his research with a view to improving his results and adapting Dien Chan to suit the majority of patients.

Based on the philosophical principle of yin and yang, his methods quickly produce a profound balance in the body and its surrounding energies.

Dien Chan is multireflexology because it exerts yin or yang effects on the various fixed points seen on the map, thus complementing the treatment and consolidating the rebalancing effect.

1 The I-Ching, Yijing or I King (in traditional Chinese: 易經; in simplify Chinese: 易经; in pinyin: yì jīng) is an oracular Chinese book. The I Ching and its hexagrams were thought to pre-date recorded history, and based on traditional Chinese accounts, its origins trace back to the 3rd to the 2nd millennium BC. Modern scholarship suggests that the earliest layers of the text may date from the end of the 2nd millennium BC, but place doubts on the mythological aspects in the traditional accounts. Some consider the I Ching the oldest extant book of divination, dating from 1000 BC and before.

2 Paul Nogier is a notable French and inventor scientist of the scientific auriculotherapy. According to his experimental certain zones of the surface of the body and of the outer ear have correlations and affinities with certain frequencies of the light laser.

The authors

Patryck and Anna offered all their royalties to Professor Châu to thank him for sharing his teachings. Anna Roca is now the director of the Dien Chan International School of Multireflexology EiMDC. These days, she is in charge of coordinating a team of teachers while actively continuing her own research. She is also creating new opportunities and organising courses in Central and South America.

Patryck Aguilar Cassarà met Professor Châu in Barcelona in 2001. He immediately became enthralled with Châu’s work and decided to help him spread the word about Dien Chan in Europe. His first task, an enormous one, was to gather together all the teaching materials available and provide a structure for them.

These materials were published in his book Dien Chan Facial Therapy. He then organised, for the first time in Barcelona - Spain, a course with Professor Châu who, along with one of his sons (a therapist from the Việt Y Ðạo centre), has been invited back every year since then.

The clubqc1 was established in 2002 for all of Professor Châu’s students worldwide. Patryck Aguilar also formed the first team of qualified teachers of Dien Chan in Europe at that time.

Residing in Barcelona and serving as president of the International Dien Chan School of Multireflexology, Patryck continues to work in the development and dissemination of the method. He brings together experienced trainers and therapists in a community built around this method, one that is very much alive and constantly evolving.

He then established the club of Dien Chan (club EiMDC) for former students of the Escuela Internacional de Multirreflexología - Dien Chan (EiMDC) and organised courses throughout the world, supported by a team of qualified teachers and applying the original methods without simplification.

Anna Roca Carrasco, foot reflexologist, acupuncturist and Bach flower therapist, discovered Dien Chan in 2005. Impressed by the method, she became actively involved in spreading news of Dien Chan and helped to organise courses given by Professor Châu and Patryck Aguilar. In 2006, after returning from her first trip to Vietnam, she and Patryck wrote a number of essays on Dien Chan and updated the manual used on the course.

1 Was set up by Patryck Aguilar Cassarà in 2002 as all of Professor Châu’s students worldwide. Since 2009 and because we cannot organise everything for everybody, we call it the club of Dien Chan or club EiMDC. From level 1 of a Dien Chan course with certified teacher from EiMDC, students are members of the club, created to support and accompany them as they learn. The club offers a private online space with teaching materials and guidance to complement your professional treatments.

Purpose

Purpose

The purpose of this book is to give people the chance to study Dien Chan. The book includes a number of diagrams and a complete map of pressure points plus detailed advice on how to use the method tools. It also includes an explanation of Dien Chan theory.

The book provides illustrations of the various treatments to help you treat yourself, your family and friends. As therapists, we strongly recommend that you follow the course with a certified teacher and learn the movements and stimulation techniques (which are not always easy to describe in written form). The first manual was first published in Spanish in 2003 (Facioterapia - Dien Chan) and then we publish in France in 2009 l’«ABC du Dien Chan» (Edt Grancher, Paris) to offer 100% of royalties to Pr. Bùi Quốc Châu for his generosity sharing all his knowledge with us during all those years.

A good therapist or teacher is not always easy to find. However by reading a great deal and making inquiries in your local community, you should be able to locate one. A good therapist or teacher must be able to explain, in detail, the reason for using each of the bqc·points, the meaning of the diagrams and how to design treatments.

An easy reference source of treatments with illustrations will help you to start treating yourself, your family and friends.

Multireflexology - Dien Chan

Professor Bùi Quôc Châu

Born on April 3, 1942 in Vinh Long, he has an infancy with long episodes of disease and lives in the bosom of a humble family. The young person Châu remains at the age of seven an orphan of mother. Of fragile health, thanks to his family doctor he manages to end his basic education. His interest for his health leads it to studying the traditional Chinese medicine under the guardianship of his master-doctor.

At the age of 23 he joins the university of Law, Philosophy and letters without many motivation and four years later decides to devote fully to his passion; the medicine.

From 1964, Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu is passionate by ancient medicine, the popular Vietnamese tradition and the traditional Chinese medicine. In 1977 he is hired as specialist acupuncturist in the drugadiction centre of Binh Trieu in Saigon.

The medical team in which he takes part ask him to apply acupuncture protocols to the thousands of patients brought together by the new Vietnamese health system. On having finished the war of Vietnam, these centers for drug addicts were trying to attend to the thousands of affected by the consumption of opium.

The Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu took full advantage of those six years as practitioner in the centre to develop and to check clinicaly his theories.

In 1980 he is aware that he is discovering a new therapeutic method that does not correspond with the traditional acupuncture. He is discovering a new network of energetic completions on the face of his patients. He obtains surprising results in the relief of pains and common pathologies due to the opiates consumption.

He starts having disciples who are interested in studying his method and establishes his private surgery in 1983.

Since 1970, the Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu publishes in Vietnam manuals of self-help for health, develops his Yin-Yang Qi-kung’s own method and wrote handbooks of Dien Chan.

Since 1988, the Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu is invited in several countries to teach his method in conferences and other congresses. In Vietnam, he teaches Dien Chan to his patients who want to take care of their health. He wants the patient to become his own healer.

Since 2002, invited by Patryck Aguilar, he starts teaching professionals practitioners in Barcelona and other European cities.

He continues receiving patients in his charity centre Việt Y Ðạo of Saigon and he gives classes with the help of his sons, now in charge of the clinic.

Dien Chan therapy and multireflexology

What is Dien Chan

The study of the human face is not recent in society with a medicine of long tradition because the face is given certain importance in comparison to the rest of the body. Feeling, psychological and physiological behaviour as well as the body conditions can be indeed perceived in the face. It could be seen as the reverse of the brain, which is the most powerful organ in our body.

T

he face, with its vast network of blood vessels, nerves and acupuncture meridians, is a highly sensitive part of the body.

Oriental medicine considers the face to be the focus of yang energy.

Older methods of treatment position several acupuncture points on the face and use these to treat certain diseases. Later Chinese documents show the development of facial acupuncture to the stage at which there were twenty-four points used to treat disease. However, in practice you are not limited to these twenty-four points.

Dien Chan therapy is different from acupuncture. Instead of using meridians, it relies on a multireflexology system comprising 100 reflex points, 20 of which are found on the face. Ancient and modern medical methods (including acupuncture and clinical experience) have detected close links between parts of the face and corresponding areas of the body. Certain conditions can thus be diagnosed and a system drawn up to show these links.

Dien Chan therapy and multireflexology

There are already several therapies in world medicine that are based on the principles of projection and which may, at first sight, look similar to Dien Chan. In traditional medicine these include diagnosis through observation.

In Chinese medicine they involve iridology1, endonasal 2 reflexotherapy and facial or nasal acupuncture.

Each of these therapies has its own ways of showing which points on the body correspond to others in terms of diagnosis.

Although Dien Chan therapy is also based on the reflexology principle, it is multi-directional in nature. Traditional reflexology, on the other hand, is unidirectional. This is why we use the term Multireflexology - Dien Chan when we refer to a study of the diagrams created by Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu.

1 Iridology, also known as iridodiagnosis or iridiagnosis is an alternative medicine technique whose proponents claim that patterns, colours, and other characteristics of the iris can be examined to determine information about a patient's systemic health.

2 Bonnier, Otolaryngologist of recognized prestige, was the first doctor who raised the possibility of a global representation of the body to level of the nasal zones.

Origins of the Vietnamese tradition

These conclusions led Prof. Châu to carefully consider the importance of the face and its links with the body as a whole.

Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu is an expert on the relationship between the face and the rest of the body. This is due to in part to his in-depth knowledge of eastern medicine and acupuncture, western medicine, and the work of well-known Vietnamese doctors such as Tuệ Tĩnh, Hải Thượng Lãn Ông and Nguyen Dai Nang.

Professor Châu became aware of the importance to the ear of the inverted fœtus diagram (essential in Paul Nogier ear acupuncture), and this inspired him to carry out research into equivalents with the face. Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu was fortunate enough to work at the Binh Trieu Drug Addiction Centre (Saigon) where he had the opportunity to pursue his investigation into the face.

He practiced facial acupuncture, which enabled him to check the relationship between points on the face and areas on the rest of the body and thus prove his hypothesis. This helped him to provide different answers to those of his predecessors to a number of questions related to acupuncture of the ears, hands, feet and cranium.

Professor Châu's scientific knowledge enabled him to continue his research using the materials he had collected since 1980.

Dien Chan therapy is a living technique that is constantly evolving, and this is the reason why combining it with other types of medicine can provide very good results.

Most of the western Dien Chan therapists trained by the International School of Multireflexology Dien Chan (EiMDC), apply this knowledge when diagnosing, relaxing or treating the patient.

Multireflexology - Dien Chan

Note on terminology

It is essential, when it comes to a new invention or discovery, to be able to explain and communicate new concepts. To help the reader understand the terms used in this book, some definitions follow.

Initially, Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu called his discovery:

Diện Chẩn – Điều Khiển Liệu Pháp which literally means “Facial Diagnosis and Cybernetic Therapy”.

T

he literal translation of the Vietnamese concept into English is —Face diagnosis-cybernetic therapy—. Shorter versions of this are used in the west; names such as —Facythérapie—; —Facialthérapie—; —Facioterapia— or even —Vinamassage—. Another name —Dien Cham— (acupuncture of the face) is a misrepresentation, because it is not based on the correct methods.

—Cybertherapy— has recently been used to define this discipline and includes both treatments: that of the face and of the rest of the body.

When first writing about his discovery, Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu used the concept “reflexology multi-system”, but the term “multireflexology” is better for expressing both meanings of the concept. First, it involves a multifaceted (mathematical) correspondence with the organ reflex in a body; and second, a multiple reflex (as in geometrical optics) that involves a correspondence with two or more reflex points of an organ.

The concept of the “living point” (sinh huyêt in Vietnamese) is used instead of “reflex point” (dinh huyêt - fixed point - in Vietnamese) each time the reflex point becomes hypersensitive due to a reflex organ condition. The coordinates of this living point are slightly different from those of the coordinates of the fixed point, i.e. the bqc·point.

bqc·points

These are the fixed points on the face that Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu discovered and which form the basis of Dien Chan. The map shows both vertical and horizontal axes, which allows for precise coordinates.

These bqc·points are used in numerous treatment formulæ and have been numbered in chronological order, according to the date they were discovered.

At the start of his search, Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu gave each point a Vietnamese name relating to its effects. However, the large number of points soon made this system unmanageable. Professor Châu then decided to number the points,

Facial diagnosis

There are various techniques of observation to identify signs on the face based on different skills of observation. We can seek for a point or a painful zone with the help of a detector, to touch the skin in order to estimate the change of texture and the different signs like spots, marks that are going to allow to realize a diagnosis of the origin or the reasons of the imbalance.

Based on clinical experience and in-depth knowledge of the Dien Chan diagrams, you can see signs of past, present or future weakness. Illnesses from which the patient suffers (or has suffered in the past) show up on the face.

The mental state of the patient is reflected in the face and will help you find the cause and make a more precise diagnosis. It can suggest a possible diagnosis to us and thus us rule the best treatment.

There are no specific rules here. There is neither an order nor a norm at the moment of doing a facial diagnosis. But the experience of one itself does that we project first a few schemes of reflection before that different, while we observe the face and we look for spots, marks or warts.

We recommend to begin with the projection of the diagram of the internal organs on the face. Many disorders have their origin in the internal imbalance of the viscera. Common sense, experience and observation may bring to mind one diagram over another. Finding the correct diagram of projection on the face allows us to take advantage of the new therapeutic vision that Dien Chan offers.

History of Dien Chan

History of Dien Chan

The principles on which Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu based his discoveries of reflex points and diagrams originated in the philosophy, literature and linguistics of the east in antiquity.

T

he theory he used to establish the positions of points on the face (and the concept of the non-painful point) was influenced by the saying: “There is no yang without yin and no yin without yang”. The meaning of this – found in I-Ching and Nôi-Ching books – is that yin and yang always exist together and cannot exist in isolation, because each contains the essence of the other.

This led Professor Châu to conclude that each painful point carries a non-painful point within it. This was merely a theory at the time but was later proven in clinical trials. He arrived at one of his first conclusions when treating a patient who was complaining of pain at a specific point in the backbone.

The principle of corresponding shapes gave him the idea of building the Dien Chan reflex schemes. (For example, the bridge of the nose corresponds to the spinal column.) Professor Châu did not yet know where the points corresponding to the neck and sacrum might be located but was convinced he would be able to find a pain reflex point in his patient’s spinal column. After doing some research on the bridge of the nose, and thanks to acupuncture, he found this point. Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu then decided to apply the I-Ching principle – “there is no yang without yin and no yin without yang” –, which led him to the above-mentioned idea of a non-painful point being within a painful point.

He applied an acupuncture needle to a patient’s painful point. The patient felt immediately relieved and stated that he did not feel as much pain as before. He noticed that the pain in that area gradually disappeared. To confirm the objectivity and impartiality of his theories, Professor Châu tested them on several patients with similar conditions.

He could always find patients with these same symptoms among the large number of drug addicts at the centre where he worked. He also asked his students to carry out a number of tests and obtained the same results.

During this period, Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu did not number his points but instead gave them Vietnamese names. Later, when he started teaching, he decided to number them, sorting them by chronological order of discovery. This is how he came up with point 1, located on the bridge of the nose. From this hypothesis (which he later proved), he developed the yang diagram of a red man facing down.

The nose corresponds to the spinal column; the eyebrows to the arms; the lip area to the legs; and the chin to the feet. He discovered similar phenomena in

Theoretical foundation of Dien Chan

Dien Chan therapy is an easy-to-use and reliable diagnostic method. It is complementary to both modern and traditional methods. Many therapists combine Dien Chan with other methods and use their knowledge of reflex diagrams to arrive at a diagnosis.

L

ike other “light” complementary therapies that do not use medicines, Dien Chan therapy achieves best results in the treatment of nervous, circulatory and endocrine diseases. We have also observed outstanding results where joint and muscle problems are involved and with infection and inflammation. However, the most serious illnesses or those that are terminal in nature are not within the scope of Dien Chan.

As the full name of this method indicates (facial diagnosis and cybernetic therapy), the face is considered the centre for information on and control of all bodily functions. Each reflex point represents transmitter and receiver for the corresponding organ. The reflex point intervenes in both treatment and regulation.

It is important to understand that each reflex diagram or point has no direct link to the organ or zone in itself but rather to an area of the brain. The stimulation of a reflex zone activates a process of auto-regulation of the corresponding organ in that area. This is why a zone can be sensitive even though an organ has been removed or a part of the body amputated. Phantom limb pain can be relieved with Dien Chan stimulation of reflex zones or points. Dien Chan theories of facial diagnosis apply in the same way.

As a start, you need to look for a positive response from the patient, to verify that you have chosen the correct technique for the corresponding zone and are using the appropriate tool. If more than 80 percent pain relief is achieved, treatment can be paused. Chronic pain tends to reappear a few hours after a first treatment. Treating the patient a second time not only provides relief but, as previously mentioned, helps to reactivate the process of auto-regulation and therefore recovery.

A number of disorders can be treated with repeated Dien Chan sessions or simply when they reappear. To better understand the method, we need to introduce some complementary concepts.

Theory of synchronic painful points

When a disorder is present, there may be pain in an organ and pain at the sites of various reflex points at the same time.

The intensity of pain, swelling, cramping and other similar sensations is directly related to the gravity of the disorder. When the intensity of pain diminishes, so

31/07/14 02:20

Dien Chan theory Dien Chan theory

Vital energy flows toward the weaker points

The treatment of each reflex point will affect only the diseased organ and not healthy organs. This is because the disease activates the reflex. The patient will feel the effects of treatment on the diseased organ or zone when the therapist stimulates the active reflex point. The stimulation of bqc·points or areas acts on the brain of the patient, activating his capacity for auto-regulation and treatment. You should have no fear of affecting other organs; the brain knows what to do.

Affinity and hostility

The concepts of affinity and hostility refer to the relationship between active reflex points or between a fixed point and a certain illness.

For example, bqc·points 26 and 6 are hostile to each other and cannot be used together or the effects will be neutralized. Bqc·points 34 and 124, however, show affinity. If you use both of them at the same time, treatment will be more effective. Bqc·point 127 cannot be used in the treatment of diarrhoea caused by a cold. Bqc·point 26, which has an anti-hypertensive effect, cannot be used in the treatment of drunkenness.

Professor Châu and our team of therapists have treated thousands of patients and therefore been able to prove these effects. All these concepts help to understand the Dien Chan technique more fully and to use it more effectively.

Eight Dien Chan principles

Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu has established a program based on eight essential principles of reflexology. All of these principles need to be memorized, although they do not need to be applied in the same order as that given here.

They should not be used at the same time. The fact that they complement each other will produce the greatest relief from pain. You may use them on both the affected areas and the reflex zones according to the diagrams and bqc·points.

We will now explain the eight Dien Chan principles based on the treatment of a common disorder, an aching right elbow, with the introduction of techniques and tools. Constant communication between patient and therapist is essential and will help you remember each of the principles and know when to stop treatment (as soon as the objective has been achieved).

1· Local principle

You can work on the painful zone using several different Dien Chan tools.

A simple massage, using the moxa1, roller or small hammer tool 2 can produce great results. If the pain is too intense and cannot be treated locally, then proceed to the next principle.

Going back to the example of elbow pain, apply the yang roller with the spike ball to the elbow for one minute or, using the small hammer, gently tap the elbow 50 times.

2· Close to the pain

This principle enables you to work around the pain point and is very effective when pain is intense. Treat the peripheral zones of the arm and forearm using a yang tool or, in cases of intense pain, the yin roller.

With our elbow pain and according to this second principle, we treat the peripheral zones of the arm and forearm. We veer round 1 minute with a yang tool in case of dull pain or swarming, or a yin roller if it is a question of a very sharp pain.

1 Sticks of artemisia with a pleasant smell and the ash of which does not fall. Its very high-temperature

allows to mobilize Qi by exercising a constant sweeping in three phases without ever burning the skin. Used in Dien Chan, the multireflex moxa is also appreciated in many other technics that use moxibustion.

2 Equipped with a rubber yang end and a yin end with small spikes, for beginners this little hammer is the best alternative to the detector. Flexible and lightweight to easily stimulate multi-reflexology areas and set points. The hammer effect of the yang end of the little hammer allows in-depth stimulation without damaging the skin. The little hammer can be used like the detector to stimulate areas and set points on the face. The hammer effect provides in-depth stimulation without damaging the skin. With the small spikes of the yin end, very gently tap the area in question for about 3 minutes. With the rubber yang end, tap gently and continually for 2 minutes on each area or point. High quality and handmade using sustainable methods, they produce fast, complementary results for both health practitioners and natural beauty specialists.

Eight Dien Chan principles Eight Dien Chan principles

8· Use of diagrams

The last principle uses all the previous ones but focuses on the reflex diagrams of the face.

The more knowledge you have of Dien Chan reflex diagrams, the easier it will be to treat the patient. From a medical point of view, the Dien Chan tools (whose action on the epidermis is merely mechanical) control the circulatory and peripheral nervous systems.

They also stimulate the lymphatic system and increase immunity. When we stimulate a reflex area on the face related to an organ or a limb, we are communicating with the brain. There is no direct relation between the area or the reflexology point and the limb or the brain. We believe that our brain has the capacity to reactivate the flow of energy (the Qi) and that using reflexology serves to stimulate this process. The multireflex tools are also used directly on the body, giving fast relief from pain, offering in-depth treatment and improving micro-circulation.

Those principles are basic for the good use of the diagrams of reflection, of the multireflex tools and of the bqc·points. Once understood one to one, Dien Chan invites us to combine them to obtain lot of ways of treatment. These combinations arise with the experience and a good observation sense.

The short distance by treating the face, authorizes a more precise look of the texture and of the relief as well as the grimaces of the face.

Accompanied by a dialogue with the patient, these observations are an inspiration to apply one or other of the eight principles.

Better you know all the Dien Chan diagrams of reflection, more agility you will have treating.

Multireflexology - Dien Chan

Dien Chan is multireflexology

Dien Chan is a technique, a multireflexologic method. That means that we cannot pretend to cure all diseases. The fundamental principle is to re-balance the body and provoke our auto-regulation natural process.

More we study about human body and other techniques, better results we will obtain. Dien Chan is an excellent way to take the reins of our health for profane and an amazing vector to combine our knowledges for professionals.

D

ien Chan originated with techniques to be applied to the face. Diagrams covering the rest of the body were later drawn up. There are a total of 257 fixed bqc·points on the complete map of the face 1, and the reflex diagrams for the whole body are based on them.

A network that embraces the circulatory and nervous systems along with acupuncture meridians enables you to diagnose and treat conditions depending on the sensitivity of facial bqc·points. This is the basis of Dien Chan.

Like acupuncture meridians, the circulatory system can be compared to a landline telephone network. In contrast, connections in the Dien Chan method are more akin to those in a mobile phone network.

Each time you stimulate a bqc·point in a reflex zone based on one of the reflex diagrams2, you send information directly to the brain. The brain is responsible for the self-regulation of the affected zone.

Although Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu has shown how to discover points on the body, the Dien Chan student must acquire in-depth knowledge of all the facial reflex diagrams of projection as this will help him to understand and remember all the points and shows the meaning of the bqc·point.

The student can learn the theory, with written or visual support but there is nothing like practice. Contact with patients and learning from the experience of other therapists will lead to better understanding of the Dien Chan technique.

Observing how Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu, Dr. Bùi Minh Tâm, Bùi Minh Trí, Bùi Minh Luân and other Dien Chan expert therapists in Vietnam combine techniques, diagrams and tools we manage to become more open-minded with less preconceived ideas. All our students receive the same full program, with no simplification of its fundaments or the original multireflexology method.

Our integrated courses are also hosted by leading international institutions and schools in the field of natural therapies.

1 Though the bqc·point with higher number is 633, the map presented by Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu uses 257

points. Not all the points exist, some of them that were taking number originally of the discovery were eliminated for not having always precise coordinates and they are considered to be alive common points but not bqc·points with exact coordinates.

2 We talk about “diagram of treatment“ or “graph of treatment” to refer to the bqc·points map that indicates the position of every point of the formula.

Micro-systems of multireflexology

Thanks to many clinical studies Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu and his therapist students have created this list of reflex micro-systems. All multireflex tools can be used in these micro-systems in order to obtain the expected results.

M

icro-systems show that the application of Dien Chan 8 principles can be both easy and difficult at the same time!

The following list includes the most frequently used and tested micro-systems. This list is not definitive, as everyone can participate in research into new micro-systems but they are real examples and follow Dien Chan criteria. Theories as to different reflexes are continually being studied and tested by our research teams in Vietnam and Europe. From a Dien Chan point of view, theory is confirmed by practice. The outstanding effectiveness of these diagrams still surprises us. The laws of universal mutation, the unitary nature of monism and relative modernity are the strengths and allure of the Dien Chan system.

Heel: head.

The top of the middle finger: top of the skull. bqc·point 26: the occipital bone.

The back of the hand: occipital bone and the nape of the neck.

Brain reflexes Forehead: frontal lobe.

Philtrum1: medulla oblongata.

Chin: cerebellum, occipital lobe.

Right palm: left cerebral hemisphere.

Left palm: right cerebral hemisphere.

Hand lines: furrows in the brain.

Nose: central sulcus2 of the brain.

1 The vertical groove in the median portion of the upper lip of the mouth. The horizontal line ‘IX’ of the

Dien Chan map is leaning on bqc·point 63 that is in the middle of the philtrum. Be careful with points 7, they are not exactly on the philtrum lines but just under the middle of the nose hole; which is not necessary on the philtrum borders.

2 The central sulcus is a fold in the cerebral cortex in the brains of vertebrates. Also called the central fissure, it was originally called the fissure of Rolando or the Rolandic fissure, after Luigi Rolando. The central sulcus is a prominent landmark of the brain, separating the parietal lobe from the frontal lobe and the primary motor cortex from the primary somatosensory cortex.

The Dien Chan map of fix points

Before studying and using the complete map of Dien Chan bqc·points it is important to know that face is divided in two sides.

T

ai Qi sketch illustrate the meaning of this matter. Points stimulated on the right side produce a yang effect and are marked in formulas by a plus sign (eg: 300+ for right kidney; yang effect). The yin effects points are on the left side on the face and are marked in formulas by a minus sign (eg: 3- for left lung; yin effect).

The Dien Chan map we present here is complete and all points have a meaning, indications and effects. We never simplify the original method of Prof.

Bùi Quốc Châu because we believe that in such a new technique it is important students have access to the pure genuine information to be able to continue investigating and discovering new combinations.

Each line on the Dien Chan map depends on the anatomy common to all faces.

It is important that you learn to read the map correctly if you are to carry out a treatment. Before proceeding with treatment, find the right lines on the face and the appropriate bqc·point by reading the coordinates Activating pain points is also part of Dien Chan and consists in stimulating the reflex zones pertaining to a particular diagram. If you want to use the bqc·points formula, with its inherent strengths, you must able to read and use the official map.

Imagine a head submerged in water. Lines on the surface of the water show the shape of the face in relief. All the lines are horizontal except ‘0’ which follows the root of the scalp. On the map, Roman numerals (I, II, III, IV…) refer to horizontal lines, and Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, 4…) are used down the side to facilitate the use of the coordinates page.

For example, the vertical line ‘G’ transects the centre of the pupil of the eye, while the vertical line ‘B’ transects the centre of the nostril, irrespective of the size of the nose. Lines ‘H’ and ‘E’ are the external and internal vertical tangents of the iris.

The vertical lines ‘D’ and ‘K’ touch the corners of the eyes and bisect horizontal line ‘V’.

The horizontal line ‘II’ divides the forehead into two parts. The horizontal lines ‘I’ and ‘III’ divide these two halves into quarters.

The horizontal line ‘VI’ passes the top of the nose (bqc·point 189) and bisects the horizontal line ‘VII’, where bqc·point 1 on the nose is found.

The horizontal line ‘IX’ crosses bqc·point 63, which is situated in the centre of the philtrum.

The Dien Chan map The Dien Chan map

The horizontal line ‘XI’ crosses just above bqc·point 127 (situated in the centre of the mental protuberance) while the horizontal line ‘XII’ passes between that line and the tip of the chin, going through bqc·point 87.

It is not easy at first, unless you have a teacher experienced in detecting these points and we recommend studying the diagrams to help you understand the map.

It is important to give a meaning to our treatments to understand them without need to remember them as simple tricks. Using the diagrams, the points, the 8 principles, the effects of the tools and the micro-systems, we obtain coherence and clinical logic. Hereby, we can establish cards with comments that allow us to follow the evolution and to quantify the improvement of the patient.

With this reasoning, we have developed a pedagogic and professional tool; an electronic manager of protocols. The interactive application Faceasit’clinic puts to disposition a database of the patients history and the possibility of modifying or creating totally personalized protocols. It is not a catalogue of pathologies or of formulæ, but of a real therapeutic calculator. Faceasit allows us to construct the treatments departing from the anatomical affected zone. As when we consult with a practitioner, we locate our problem and expose our symptoms. Then the therapist interprets with his knowledge what happens to us. We place the disorder on the body and choose the most exact symptom. Faceasit calculates in reflex zones or bqc·points all the possibilities. Then, we keep the zones or the most sensitive points to design our treatment.

“Each point is a flower and our face is a medicinal herb garden.”

—Prof. Châu, inspired by the forest in which we walked, Savoy year 2006—

T

he bqc·points listed here correspond to an organ or part of the body (i.e. these are not formulas or treatments). These points are found in the Dien Chan reflex diagrams. Their effects and indications have been tested

by Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu, by his team of therapists, and by all our students in Europe during the last ten years. bqc·points in bold are considered the most important in the body zone concerned. The symbol (-) next to the number of a point means yin (left side of the patient) and the symbol (+) means yang (right side of the patient).

The Qi refers to the type of energy surrounding a body.

Multireflexology - Dien Chan

Multireflex tools

All multireflex tools are based on their effects. The tools produce yin and yang stimulations. They help to activate the microcirculation of blood and lymph in the areas treated and activate the self-regulation process.

W

hen we stimulate a reflex area on the face related to an organ or a limb, we are communicating with the brain. There is no direct relation between the area or the reflexology point and the limb or the brain. We believe that our brain has the capacity to reactivate the flow of energy (the Qi) and that using reflexology serves to stimulate this process.

The tools are also used directly on the body, giving fast relief from pain, offering in-depth treatment and improving micro-circulation. Yin tools are used to calm, dissipate, cool, hydrate and relax. We tend to use tools with yin effects when irrigation and drainage of the affected body part are required to mobilize body fluids, preventing stagnation or dryness.

In the case of hypersensitivity, we recommend starting with yin stimulation. Whenever possible, local combined with facial work produces the most intensive and lasting results. Experience and ongoing study allow the therapist more easily to identify the yin or yang needs of a disorder.

If there is any doubt, the body knows best; the sensation considered most pleasant is decisive in choosing which end of the tool to use.

To quickly re-balance the body, Dien Chan tools manage to compensate for the lack of yin or yang with simple stimulations both on the body and on the face.

Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu designed his first tools over many years in practice. At first, he deployed his theories with acupuncture needles and micro-needles and developed techniques that produced quick and effective results but demanded great skill. We should not forget his objective, which was to offer a simple treatment technique for people too poor to have access to traditional medicine and without the money to pay for a doctor. He realized that it was possible to achieve stimulation simply by pressing on some of the points he had discovered. This led him to a number of interesting conclusions. He then started investigating types of stimulation and the tools to be used.

After experimenting with various materials, he managed to design a stainless steel detector. He found that applying pressure by sweeping reflex areas was very effective. However, results were not conclusive when using traditional Chinese

Multireflexology - Dien Chan

The yang tools The tools that allow to stir into action, to warm, to canalize and to dry, provide effects considered like yang. Ergonomic, they adapt perfectly to the contours of the face as of the body. Their spike balls allow immediate results to never damage the skin or to provoke allergies. The detectors as well as the “brushes” provide also yang effects. All the tools provided by spike balls are yang. But also the rubber end of the hammers. The effects of a yang tool can be emphasized if it is used in an upward movement while rolling or while stimulating points in a treatment formula.

In Chan’beauté, the therapeutic-æsthetics method, we use the yang tools to strengthen and to shape the body. Most of the treatments in Chan’beauté begins with a yang stimulus to reach deeper and lasting results.

We consider yang the stimulations provided by the heat-patches and the moxa.

These consumable “tools” are detailed later.

The yin tools Yin tools are those with stainless steel prongs, rollers or brass cylinders, the spikes on the side of the small hammer and the rubber cup on the big hammer. Yin tools with a brass cylinder cool while prongs and rollers scatter.

The yin tools are used for calming, for dispersing and refreshing as well as abating. We tend to use the tools with yin effects when we need to irrigate or drain the affected part of the body. The simple application of a yin tool mobilizes the corporal liquids preventing the stagnation or the dryness. In case of hypersensitivity of the face, we recommend to begin with a yin stimulus.

In Chan’beauté, we use the yin tools to irrigate, to hydrate and drain.

They are in addition very effective when we want to treat a disorder that deals with heat. For example, to erase wrinkles and scars, we are in the habit of preparing the skin with a yang stimulation of 1 minute. Later, we nourish and drain with the yin tool. The effects of a yin tool can be emphasized if it is used in downward movements while rolling or stimulating a bqc·point in a treatment formula.

Tool techniques and use

Tool techniques and use

Dien Chan therapy involves constant creativity in the use of the diagrams and tools. When beginning a treatment, you must listen to the patient’s description of his problem and consider the options for treatment.

This dialogue with the patient will help you choose the direction to follow. You should avoid relying on only one or two techniques or treatments.

It is preferable to vary the techniques and the multireflex tools used depending on the patient’s condition, and important to refer to the reflex diagrams and follow the tips provided.

To use the tools effectively and know where to apply them, you must first search on the reflex diagram for the most sensitive points or zones.

After identifying these, stimulate the same point continually until the pain decreases and eventually disappears. If you do not have time to treat all the points in the treatment diagram, just focus on the hypersensitive points in the reflex zone or in the affected zone.

Therapists who know about traditional Chinese medicine do not always need to be influenced by the yin and yang theory but can apply the tools according to the disorder. The main objective is always to achieve a balance.

A patient’s comments on how the disorder makes him feel can help the therapist to know whether the problem is yin or yang in character. For example, if the patient feels hot, the therapist can choose a yin tool to refresh him. If the pain is located at a certain point, the therapist may use a yin tool to scatter the pain. If a patient complains about mild pain or feels cold, the therapist should try treatment with a yang tool first of all.

Some therapists use kinesiology1 to decide which tool is the most appropriate.

If the expected results are not achieved, then perhaps the therapist should not follow treatment parameters quite so strictly. What is important is listening to the patient and combining that dialogue with flexibility as regards Dien Chan principles, tools and stimulation techniques.

Whenever possible, local combined with facial work produces the most intensive and lasting results.

Experience and ongoing study allow the therapist more easily to identify the yin or yang needs of a disorder. If there is any doubt, the body knows best; the sensation considered most pleasant is decisive in choosing which end of the tool to use.

1 Kinesiotherapy is defined as the application of scientifically based exercise principles adapted to

enhance the strength, endurance, and mobility of individuals with functional limitations or those requiring extended physical conditioning. It is a specialized area of medicine in which exercise and movement are used as the primary form of rehabilitation. It is typically used in the treatment of amputees.

Multireflexology - Dien Chan

In this section, you will learn about the following techniques for using multireflex tools: Rolling Gently hold the roller by the handle at an angle of 45-degrees. Make a rolling movement while applying minimal pressure. It is best to increase the pressure gradually until the pain disappears. Choose the ball model according to the surface of the zone. The spike balls produce yang effects. Stainless steel rollers or brass cylinders are yin tools. Stainless steel cylinders are used for less sensitive zones like the scalp. The prongs improve skin perspiration and dissipation of pain.

Hammering Hammers are classified according to their size and the contact surface. Rubber cones are yang surfaces. The seven spikes of the small hammer or the single rubber pad on the big hammer are yin. The small hammer with the single rubber cone is used to stimulate active reflex points.

The elasticity of the steel handle is useful for tapping the skin. However, if you tap too hard you will need to stop after every five taps to avoid local bruising. If you tap gently, you can do it 20 or 30 times without stopping. Precision in tapping is important if the patient is to feel the results. Otherwise, he will not feel anything.

The big hammer with multiple cones is also used to tap the back, shoulders, buttocks, hips, thighs and larger joints. The part with the pad is used for tapping fleshy parts and activating the circulation. It relaxes the muscles and produces elasticity in tendons.

We believe that our brain has the capacity to reactivate the flow of energy (the Qi) and that using reflexology serves to stimulate this process.

The tools are also used directly on the body, giving fast relief from pain, offering in-depth treatment and improving micro-circulation.

Combing There two types of comb, both of them used as yin tools. Keep the comb firmly perpendicular to the skin. Do horizontal and / or vertical movements, in any order, depending on the comfort of the patient. Maintain regular pressure, especially in the most sensitive areas. Both areas with and without hair may be combed. Combing the scalp gently during 5 minutes is an excellent way to start treatment, relaxing deeply the patient.

Multireflexology - Dien Chan

The “comet” (tool nº133) is a multireflex tool for detoxifying and recreating balance. Its thick detector can be used for stimulation in the case of delicate skin and its triple detector has a cooling effect. Its larger diameter serves to stimulate points on the face without damaging the skin, as it is less incisive. On the reflexology areas of the skull, it allows precise stimulation without digging into the scalp. The two different ends of the “comet” are used to carry out reflex-drainage (also called «6 zones massage»). To obtain a yang effect with this protocol, we use the thick detector. In the event of a higher body temperature, the triple end allows us to apply the protocol with yin effects. The reflex-drainage preserves a big similarity with the way of the manual lymphatic works. It is important to use both directions of ways of massage not to cause high blood pressure or low blood pressure. There is no possibility of creating a lymphatic blocking, because it acts only on the lymphatic system, at a cerebral level.

Applying heat and oils Apply the adhesive part of the heat patch to the active points identified by the detector. You can apply them in an attractive pattern. You must not apply heat patches for more than three hours during the day. If you apply them in the evening, they can be left on the skin all night and removed first thing in the morning.

In general, the patches are used more often for long-term or chronic diseases. In the case of acute disorders, best results are obtained after applying the patches three times on the same day.

Apply the patches to the skin and leave them in place for three hours. Remove the patches and wait for at least three hours before applying new ones.

Apply the oil several times to keep the active reflex point warm or massage the zone gently with the yang ball. The use of natural essential oils helps to obtain faster results. We use biological oils bottled in flasks of dark violet glass. According to Dien Chan therapy, it is better not to use liquid essences because solutions like these may make the skin colder as they evaporate.

To avoid catching a cold, the patient is recommended not to shower for at least two hours after the application of patches or oil. You should not use this tech-

Taking care of the tools

To keep the tools clean, wash them with water and soap or a mild alcohol solution. This will prevent infection and the spreading of illness.

A copper tool may lose its shine with use but you can restore it by rinsing it in lemon juice. Horn is natural, so be careful with strong alcohol solutions and hot liquids. Using warm water and soap is usually sufficient.

Usually, you should ask the patient to wash her face before treatment starts, although there may be cases when a female patient does not want you to disturb her makeup. If the skin is very dry, consider using natural oils for your treatment. If the skin is very dry, you might consider using natural oils in your treatment. Take care if a rash, eczema or psoriasis is present, especially if you are not experienced in dealing with skin problems.

If you cannot work on the face, remember the scalp diagram. The scalp is easy to reach and patients derive a number of benefits from its treatment.

To keep your multireflex tools clean, brush them with water and soap or with a solution of soft alcohol. The brass tools (so called “yin copper”) can lose their sheen. Immerse them a few hours in a dilution of water and sodium bicarbonate.

Then, brush with fresh lemon drops to recover their colour and sheen.

The horn used in the manufacture of the multireflex tools is natural; be careful with strong solutions of alcohol and very hot liquids. The utilization of the lukewarm water with soap, is in general sufficient. We dissuade the use of disinfection machines because the heat can deform and damage the tools.

A few tips on the use of multireflex tools

In order to use multireflexology tools correctly, look for the most sensitive reflex zone. The patient’s pain will guide you to it. For optimal use of the tools, it is important to communicate with the patient while stimulating and to check for improvement, between massages, in his condition. The detector may be yang or yin, depending on the way it is used. If you need to sweep a zone, use it as a yin tool. If you need to press or scratch (sweeping with more pressure), use it as a yang tool. Simple stimulation is a matter of yang. Stimulating a point on the right side of the face produces a yang effect while simulating a point on the left of the face has a yin effect.

There are a number of different multireflex tools, and you should select which to use depending on the patient’s disorder. The use of each tool must be studied carefully. The spike balls, the prongs rollers, the brass cylinders, the detectors, the hammers and the massage tools enrich the method and allow to adapt us constant to the sensibility and reactions of our patients.

A few tips on the use of multireflex tools

The numbers in brackets are the references of other tools that also take these completions. The underlined reference indicates the number of the illustrated tool. Here, we will describe only what they are made of and their structure: Small spiked balls (tools nº 103; 206 ; 307) The small yang balls are often used to treat stiff necks, fatigue and joint pain. They can also be used on the face to treat spots and for massaging, smoothing and softening wrinkles and expression lines.

The small yang ball stimulates and may be used for stress-related migraine. If, after using the yin rollers, there is no improvement in the patient’s symptoms (insomnia, nerves, high blood pressure, influenza, colds and throat inflammation) then the spike balls, as they activate blood circulation, are recommended.

Large spiked balls (tool nº 410 ; 432) Large yang balls help to eliminate abdominal fat and water retention. They also work well for numbness, circulatory problems, muscle fatigue, kidney inflammation, constipation and diarrhoea. The spike balls are used to treat backache, organ fatigue, stiff neck, vertebral osteophytes (bone spurs), insomnia, haemorrhoids, toothache, migraine, indigestion, hypertension, frequent urination at night and cold feet. For painful menstruation, massage the inner part of the left forearm, near the bend in the elbow.

Due to its large size, the yang ball is suitable for neck; shoulder and arm massage as it produces a stimulating and relaxing effect.

Yin rollers with prongs (tools nº 206 ; 308 ; 411 ; 433) Tools with small yin rollers are used for treating migraine and insomnia when the patient feels feverish. They also work on nerves, influenza with fever; excessive perspiration of the hands, feet and face and joint pain.

All yin rollers help to keep the face toned and eliminate adolescent spots. The yin ends are used to cool, drain and relax.

For example, spasms between the shoulder blades can be quickly eased by rolling the most pleasant end of the tool over the space between the eyebrows for about 2 minutes.

Multireflexology - Dien Chan

Brass tools (tools nº 207 ; 219 ; 252) Large brass cylinders work well for treating backache, heartburn, kidney inflammation and constipation. Since they are yin tools, they relax the body and lower temperature. They help to disperse local pain and make massaging large areas, such as the back or legs, far easier due to their size. This tool is ideal for gentle massage along the acupuncture meridians, rebalancing them in the case of yang disorders. The rollers are also very effective in achieving relaxation, calming and lowering temperature, and treating menstrual pain when the patient feels feverish.

Brass tools are very useful for controlling temperature and for treating nightmares and general problems with the nervous system. They are also effective for muscle contractions and organ pain.

Rakes (tools nº 219 ; 416) Rakes or combs are considered to be yin tools because they facilitate to calm the nervous system. We use them in case of sciatica, to slacken the back contraction and to fight against alopecia.

Rake with the tool nº416 allows to regulate the blood stream in zones of the face and of the cranium.

We use it as a beginning protocol on a stressed or depressed patient, starting from the forehead towards the nape. We manage this way, a rapid sensation of tranquillity. To normalize the nervous system before the Dien Chan treatment obtaining forceful results. Approximately 4 minutes later, we apply the formula of points. A gentle massage (50 times) on the left side of the forehead is also effective against nightmares.

The small rake of the tool nº219 allows yin stimulations in small zones of the face. On the reflexion zones of every internal organ, we rake approximately 50 times to nourish, to hydrate and to calm.

A few tips on the use of multireflex tools

Direct massaging tools (nº 101 ; 133 ; 424) The natural horn smooth sphere allows to detect sensitive zones and to realize small massages with biological oils.

Both in children and in elderly persons or in patients with the very delicate skin, the top of steel of the detector nº101 can be aggressive. In these cases we realize the stimulations with the smooth sphere, treating the zone achieving equally good results.

You can use the massage stick nº424 to treat hypertension or nodes on the back of the neck. Foot reflexologist and other healers use the multireflex massage stick to avoid tiring their hands.

These tools are also used for the reflex-drainage. The triple detector of nº133 is in used in case of corporal high temperature and makes possible a yin reflex-drainage.

Detectors (nº 101 & 133) A detector is a basic multireflex tool, used to identify and stimulate points on the face. The thick detector is used to treat patients with weakened skin or those sensitive to pain caused by the thin detector. It may also be used to massage the affected area directly.

Communication with the patient must be on-going in order to gauge the amount of pressure to be applied in each case. A triple detector is used in the “reflex-drainage” when we need stimulation to be yin in character. This is because massage with the big detector is mainly yang.

Detectors with a spring may be found in specialized shops. However, these are not recommended in Dien Chan treatment, as they do not allow for accurate measurement of the applied pressure.

Concave tool (nº 207) The concave roller of natural horn of the tool nº207 turns out to be very practical for specific massages in curved or cylindrical zones. We use it to treat contractions in the fingers, the ankles, the wings of the feet and the nape. The smooth sphere of brass allows us to treat the ocular tension as to deflate the “bags” under the eyes. Also we use it in Chan’beauté to work the fallen eyelid and the double dewlap.

Hammers (tools nº 128 ; 430) The large hammer nº430 has both a yin part (the pad) and a yang part (rubber spikes). It is used to treat joint pain, sciatica, spinal fatigue and muscle conditions. Moreover, tapping the affected area for three minutes works on the feet, hands and shoulders and is really useful for tight back muscles.

The small hammer also has two sides, yin and yang, and is used to complement the detector when stimulating points.

The yin side (stainless steel spikes) has to be used gently, tapping lightly. The yang part is composed of a rubber pad (black, red or yellow depending on the manufacturer) and is excellent for stimulating points on the face.

The small hammer may be used to stimulate for longer than the detector (1 minute per point). Very good results can be achieved by using the small hammer to stimulate points where heat patches have already been applied. This tool is especially useful to treat tingling in the arms, throat inflammation, and ear, nose and throat (ENT) disorders.

The small hammer is ideal for relaxing the nervous system, the trapeziums muscle and the shoulders (working on the reflex zone of the eyebrows). It is very practical for gently tapping reflex zones on the forehead or cranium. Gently tapping the temples with the spikes of the small hammer (nº128) works in treating migraine and headaches.

Moxa sticks (ref nº 642) The multireflex-moxa is more rigid and denser than those found in a traditional medicine shop.

It does not have a strong smell and can reach a very high temperature: 700ºC (1300ºF). The moxa sticks are practical for the stimulation of reflex points on the face, but a sound knowledge of Dien Chan is needed before they can be used. They can be used for treating problems in the ears or the throat and the rest of the body.

A few tips on the use of multireflex tools

Heat patches (ref nº 644) Heat patches contain camphor and menthol and produce and maintain heat on the points. These are often used in the treatment of chronic disease. Heat patches should be used in place of essences because liquids evaporate and cool the skin, undermining the expected results.

There are several heat patch brands of different sizes but our clinical tests indicate the “Salonpas™” patches are the most effective. The patches should be cut into small squares, 7 mm x 7 mm (approximately 0.3 in x 0.3 in) and applied to the treatment points. The patches can be left on for three hours during the day or, if applied in the evening, all night.

Complements for consultation (ref nº 751 ; 908) This practical book should be kept at hand as it shows all the reflex diagrams and main reflex points in pictorial form. It is 11 cm x 11 cm, printed in high quality colour and laminated, which makes it easy to use in the treatment room. The official MiniBook of Diagrams includes the latest designs and all the brain diagrams and points of the viscera. We have corrected a few small errors on the map that were confusing students. For example, points 17 and 29 are not on the line but on the vertical where the edge of the mouth begins. Point zero is not on the line but on the imaginary horizontal tangent of the pinna.

We have also adjusted the colour of the gall bladder to make it and all the viscera stand out more clearly. Following Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu’s guidance, we corrected the connection between the knee and the elbow, as seen on the diagram of the skull.

Large posters, 40 cm by 60 cm (15.75 inches by 23.6 inches) show all the main reflex diagrams and a map of Dien Chan points. Students and therapists use these both for reference and for decoration. We have corrected a number of small errors regarding coordinates on the diagrams and have added various points on the side map to help students find them easily.

The interactive application Faceasit Faceasit is the pedagogic, didactic and playful application to design multireflexology treatments of Dien Chan.

We wanted to offer a tool both of study and of auto-treatment that allows to design the disorder from the anatomy and to evaluate it thanks to a list of associate symptoms.

The proposed protocol is described in facial zones of reflection. These “reflex zones” are those that we have to stimulate with the proposed tools and following the advices of use.

The Faceasit’pro version, beside offering the results in zones of reflection, allows to visualize on the face the precise bqc·points implied in the treatment.

The section dedicated to the diagrams of reflection and to the fixed points converts the app into the best allied to begin the study of the method.

Our great experience, collaboration, practice and knowledge of Dien Chan, has allowed us to correct several details to facilitate the reading and the learning of the method. The map, totally updated, presents new lines of coordinates in colour leaning on relief of the face. Each of 257 bqc·points has a detailed tab that offers the complete information reorganized in “anatomy” and “symptoms”; what turns out to be complementary and practical at the moment of treating.

Faceasit is a real therapeutic calculator able of returning the exact location of every bqc·point and of constructing formulæ based on the anatomy and the symptoms of the patient. The Faceasit’clinic version has turned into the therapist favourite because it offers in addition the possibility of creating and storing personal history cards. It is possible to modify and create protocols, add and remove points, add comments on the procedure, manage the cards of the patient and consult his history as well as share the resultant treatment. From the International School of Multireflexology Dien Chan we believe that to share enriches our experience and for this reason we develop pedagogic tools using the new technologies and we continue publishing the advances of the Dien Chan.

Dien Chan protocols

Some very simple protocols can become important treatments. It is necessary to know them perfectly to be able to teach them to patients and friends.

T

he primary goal of Dien Chan, when it appeared soon after the Vietnam War, was to help the patient become his own healer. The Vietnamese were very poor and had been badly affected by the conflict. Prof.

Bùi Quốc Châu wanted to help his people by providing simple methods to help them treat themselves. Today, both in Vietnam and in many other countries, therapies and medicines of all sorts are available; to the point where there occasionally seems too much.

Dien Chan is a perfect method by which to regain control of your health and avoid taking too many prescription medicines for common disorders. While you are studying the Dien Chan method, you should carefully observe your own body on a daily basis and learn to recognise how you feel.

We recommend you share massages with your family and friends as well as with your patients. This will help them to get the most out of facial stimulation.

The Dien Chan method is easy-to-follow and an invitation to help the community. Sharing is our way of nourishing a natural need to participate in the happiness of others.

During our classes at the EiMDC we teach the following protocols and massage treatments, amongst others, so the student learns the basis of Dien Chan and can apply the diagrams to any face.

By understanding Dien Chan principles and the diagrams, we can transfer and adapt other techniques and protocols to multireflexology. It is a process of innovation and discovery to find new ways of treatment and increase favourable results.

Professional beauticians use Chan’beauté 1 to treat wrinkles, scars and many other unattractive signs. Angela Liste and Anna Roca transfer their knowledge of æsthetics to multireflexology, combining the yin and yang effects of the tools with natural oils.

The protocols presented here are simple and can be used by anyone at any age.

An important point to remember is to listen to the body and to stop if you feel too hot or suffer from other side effects. From experience and awareness of the beneficial effects of he therapy, you will learn how and when to apply these protocols, depending on the season and your mood.

1 Chan’beauté is the Dien Chan method serving æsthetic treatments. A new way to transform beauty

care into therapeutic treatment. Much more information on www.chanbeauté.com 90

Twelve morning massages

Twelve morning massages

The 12 facial massages become really useful to maintain health and youth, to prevent illnesses and to generally reinforce tonicity. Practicing those massages in the morning help us maintain a preventive attitude and a life philosophy based on self-regulation.

M

any of these massages are also used in Tai-Qi and other oriental techniques but Dien Chan gives meaning to those massages by explaining their actions and effects based on reflex sketches. The experience of Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu’s students, patients and all students has helped him to present them in a logical order. These 12 massages should be used between 15 and 30 times each, depending on the patient’s physical and mental condition. The important thing is not the amount of time devoted to each massage but whether the patient feels warmer as a result.

A yin patient will need more massages than the yang patient to achieve the same results. If the patient feels warmer very quickly, then you may conclude this is a yang person, so you should begin each massage with the right hand (yang) and finish on the yin side (left) to ensure balance.

Anyone can develop an alternative method such as wetting a towel in hot water and using it to rub the neck, back of the neck and face, for example.

It is very important to practice the massages on a daily basis, listen to the body, and be aware of its response.

Each patient should remember which massages to use according to his own needs and apply them in the mornings.

For those who are not as diligent or do not have time in the morning for all 12 massages, the two main massages are massage n°7 (yang) and n°12 (Yin).

These two massages are complementary and rebalance the body after waking up.

In general, teenagers will not need the 12 morning massages as often as adults, except in winter to prevent colds (massage n°7) or before a stressful or difficult situation such as an exam or oral presentation (massage n°9).

Propose and teach these 12 massages to your patients and friends. They have changed many people’s lives by helping the body to find the strength for natural auto-regulation. To help you to communicate and promote the 12 massages, we offer a file (pdf format) that you can download from the official web site of Dien Chan in the “Advice and Treatment” section.

Some of the massages previously described can also be practiced at night.

However, some of them may interfere with sleep. Therefore, we suggest two massages to be given at night.

1| Heat your hands by rubbing them together for several seconds and then place them over your eyes. This clarifies the vision and works on your ovaries and testicles.

2| With your two middle fingers, massage your face in circular movements from the tip of your nose towards your eyebrows and around the eyes. Then tap your skin with your hands in the same way as when massaging. This corresponds to a massage in the vagina. Other benefits include treating visual problems, treating impotence and prolapsed uterus, and preventing rhinitis and sinusitis.

3| Massage your face with your palms in circular movements from the chin to the forehead but without touching your nose.

This warms and relaxes your body. It is good for the skin and treats fatigue.

4| Place your palm on your face with your forefinger under your nose (pointing your thumb upward) and give a horizontal massage. This warms your body and massages your internal organs. It stimulates your endocrine, digestive and reproductive systems.

5| With your fingers from both hands rub your face from the tip of your nose towards your hairline. You should always finish the massage on the top part of your face to prevent erection problems. It corresponds to a massage along your backbone and legs. It is beneficial to your reproductive system.

6| Strongly massage your forehead in a horizontal direction, first with your right hand and then with the left. This corresponds to a massage of your back and internal organs. It works on wrinkles, relaxes your nervous system and stimulates your brain and memory.

Reflex-drainage or 6 zones massage

skin because it activates circulation and improves microcirculation by preventing liquid retention.

The lymph is a milky liquid, rich in white blood cells that work against infection. It circulates through a network of conduits and finally reaches the bloodstream. It releases oxygen and nutrients and enables residual metabolic activity.

Most reflex therapies improve irrigation and increase the amount of oxygen and nutrients delivered to the area treated. Good results have been obtained when giving this massage on the patient’s face. Reflex-drainage is based on the extremities reflex diagram (red man on the face) and consists of six steps. The lymph nodes are strategically located along with the lymph vessels. Each reflex zone is massaged about 30 times, twice per day (or up to four times if necessary).

You can give this massage with your fingers but better results are obtained when using the thick detector (tool n°133) or the smooth sphere of detector n°101 (be careful with non-natural horn spheres that can burn the skin).

The reflex-drainage system is very similar to that of natural lymphatic drainage (NLD). It is important to massage in both directions to avoid hyper- or hypotention.

These massages work upon reflex zones without causing lymphatic collapse because they work only on the area corresponding to the reflex zone of the lymphatic system in the brain.

You must begin on the left side (yin) with both hands. If you need to emphasize the effect, apply heat patches along the way and leave them in place for at least two hours.

The Dien Chan reflex-drainage follows the path of the cranial nerves and has no contraindications because it is a reflex massage.

Multireflexology - Dien Chan

Dien Chan treatments

We consider some bqc·points as essential for their multiple effects and indications reported and tested. The catalogue of bqc·points effects extends with time thanks to the increasing quantity of Dien Chan therapists that confirm these particularities. Treatments that are on a cardboard are main formulæ that we have to complete with the particular treatment of the affected zone.

W

hen learning these massages, follow the instructions and recommendations as written. The order of steps is important in emphasizing a yin or yang effect. For a yang effect, stimulate the points in an upward direction from the bottom of the face to the top. For a yin effect, to calm and refresh, do the opposite.

Convert bqc·points into zones and use the rollers and balls if you find it difficult to work with the detector or if the patient is suffering too much pain.

When we stimulate a reflex area on the face related to an organ or a limb, we are communicating with the brain. There is no direct relation between the area or the reflexology point and the limb or the brain.

We believe that our brain has the capacity to reactivate the flow of energy (the Qi) and that using reflexology serves to stimulate this process. The tools are also used directly on the body, giving fast relief from pain, offering in-depth treatment and improving micro-circulation.

Tools that help to revitalize, heat, channel and dry produce effects that are considered yang. They are ergonomic and adapt perfectly to the curves of both face and body. Their spiked balls, hand-carved in natural horn, produce immediate results without damaging the skin or causing allergies. The detectors and brushes also create yang effects, whereas the rakes produce very relaxing effects.

Chan’beauté uses yang tools to remodel, mobilize body fluids and tone the skin.

They are used to treat complaints that involve cold. Most Chan’beauté treatments begin with stimulation using a yang tool to achieve deeper, longer-lasting effects.

High quality and handmade using sustainable methods, they produce fast, complementary results for both health practitioners and natural beauty specialists.

The natural horn is recovered from animals working in farming. No animals are harmed or bred for their horn.

Whenever possible, local combined with facial work produces the most intensive and lasting results.

Experience and ongoing study allow the therapist more easily to identify the yin or yang needs of a disorder. If there is any doubt, the body knows best;

100

Multireflexology - Dien Chan

by the patient. After having detected the zone where the response is a bearable pain, you can stimulate that same zone for about one minute. You must ask the patient to judge the improvement on a scale of 1 to 10 to determine if the severity has changed. From this dialogue with the patient, you will gain important knowledge and feedback.

Dialogue with the patient provides valuable insight

For example, a pain reduction of approximately 30% (i.e., the patient tells you that the result is approximately a 7-point improvement on the scale) indicates that you should continue stimulating the same zone for about one more minute.

After that time, you should ask once again whether or not the pain has decreased.

If yes, then you should continue treating that zone until the patient indicates you have achieved a significant improvement. For example, if the patient indicates at the start of treatment that the pain is important, you continue treatment until he or she indicates the improvement is 80% (a 8-point on the scale), this is considered a significant improvement, and is the time to stop the treatment.

Overstimulating a reflex zone can often produce the opposite effect to that desired; it may even intensify the pain.

If there is no improvement (or very low ±3-point on the scale), you must leave that zone and seek out an alternative reflexion of this ailment in another diagram. However, if you got results in the first zone, you can try another tool.

The success of a Dien Chan treatment lies in the art of being able to combine diagrams and tool stimulation techniques. You will learn from experience that this diagram-tool combination is based on observation and continuous dialogue with the patient. The patient’s response is key to letting you know if you are using the correct combination for relieving the pain. Dien Chan will improve as the therapist gains in knowledge and experience. The use of reflex diagrams lets you stimulate the reflex zone of the ailment. However, pain does not always reveal itself in the pain zone or organ of origin. It may be a remote sign of the disorder.

Among the most complex cases, the therapist who combines his knowledge of eastern and western medicine will have more resources for an accurate diagnosis and, therefore, be able to offer better treatment.

For example, a patient with particular pain on the inner side of the knee was at first treated on the knee reflex zones of all the reflex diagrams but without success. Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu relied on his knowledge of Chinese traditional medicine and acupuncture and recalled that the spleen meridian goes across that particular zone (inner side of the knee). This information allowed him to stimulate the spleen zone in the patient’s face (viscera diagram). The patient confirmed he felt better immediately.

Notes

T

his textbook has been written for our courses and contains all the information that Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu collected during the process of creating his method. We have been adding to these notes during the course of our studies with the professor and his team at the Việt Y Ðạo Centre in Saigon. Even though these notes on effects and indications were just the starting point and a way for the professor to get his ideas (inspired by Chinese medicine) down on paper, we continue to divulge them in the same way.

However, as a result of many years of teaching and for pedagogical purposes, we have sorted all the points into two columns: Anatomy and Symptoms.

Our application Faceasit helps you to study Dien Chan and the 257 bqc·points, divided into these two columns.

Caution: Beware of those who suggest there are 500 bqc·points. This is not true.

Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu gave the bqc·points numbers after realizing that it was difficult to remember their Vietnamese names. He did not fill in missing numbers, and after completing his list, eliminated the ones he had repeated. This explains why the complete Dien Chan map may appear to have 633 points when, in fact, it has only 257.

The International school of Multireflexology - Dien Chan (EiMDC), organizes training courses every year in various countries and languages, which are imparted by qualified teachers. Our courses are intended for people who are worried about their health and want to heal themselves.

Dien Chan is a form of complementary therapy and a method of diagnosis and treatment for the use of health professionals. It is also a means of adding a therapeutic dimension to beauty treatments. We call this new technique Chan’beauté. The word “chan” in Vietnamese means treatment and diagnosis at the same time and “beauté” is French for beauty.

Dien Chan defines the bases of face reflexology. The Pr. Bùi Quốc Châu, Vietnamese acupunctor, establishes in 1980 a method to discover energetic points on the face, all different from the already known of acupuncture. Combining the philosophical theories (I Ching, Tao and popular Vietnamese culture) with his observations of similarity of shape, he manages to establish, thanks to clinical checkings on thousands of patients, the map of fixed points of Dien Chan.

Throughout the years, he continues his investigations with the intention of helping the patients to take the reins of his health. In 1984, he manages to leave the needles on having verified that the stimulations of acupressure provide rapid and deep effects. Later, studying the energetic theories of the Dr. Fitzgerald and reflexology system of the Dr. Nogier, he verifies that his fixed points on the face describe diagrams of projection of the whole body. He draws then more than 25 diagrams that allow multiple combinations to obtain very fast results so much in the relief of the pains than the treatment of chronical disorders.

Because every patient is different and no method is universal, Pr. Châu continues investigating to improve the results and to adapt Dien Chan to the majority.

Being based in the philosophical beginning of yin and yang, we use multireflex tools that allow to obtain an energetic and fast reequilibrium.

Dien Chan is multireflexology because it combines yin and yang effects of the tools on the diverse diagrams of projection. Also, the map of fixed points allows us to complement the treatments and to consolidate the results.

This book has been written for our courses and contains all the information that Professor Bùi Quốc Châu collected during the process of creating his method. We have been adding to these notes during the course of our studies with the professor and his team at the Việt Y Ðạo Centre in Saigon. You can complement the study with the Faceasit application that helps you to practice and design protocols.
