The Korean hand acupuncture is a technique recently developed technique by Dr. Yoo Tae Woo, a trained Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) doctor, and since 1972 it has been conducting further research.

It can also be used in a complementary fashion or in combination with other forms of treatment.

It has the same theoretical basis as the Korean hand–foot acupuncture (Su Jok), but it has a different topography.

Advantages

The hand can be accessed at any time.
The client does not need to get undressed.
It makes possible to achieve a rapid effect.
The effect can be monitored immediately by means of pulse diagnosis and palpation.
The side effects and possible risks of body acupuncture (long needles, proximity to organs) are avoided.
All the rules of point selection from body acupuncture are transferable to hand acupuncture.

Technique

It can be placed up to approximately 20 special hand acupuncture needles (sterile, disposable needles)—which are considerably smaller and finer than body needles—up to 2 mm maximum into the skin using a needle applicator. They are usually left in for 20–30 minutes.

The ideal treatment frequency is daily or three times a week.

Hand acupuncture also uses silver and gold metal pellets, which afford the therapist and patient the opportunity to further stimulate the diagnostically located points themselves on a daily basis, and thus to improve the effect of treatment.

Self adhesive hand moxa is used on the base points for general strengthening.

At this simplest level of treatment, it suffices to locate the painful area of the body in the corresponding hand zone and to treat it by means of pressing, rubbing, taping on metal acupressure pellets, or needling.
