Acupuncture developed by Dr Yoo Tae Woo, a trained Traditional Chinese Medicine
(TCM) doctor, but it has a different topography.

From practical point of view the most important are two of them:
- Main correspondence system.
-"Insect" correspondence system.

Correspondence points are various points on Hands and Feet which correspond to various organs and part of the body. Stimulation of these correspondence points help cure a disease.
The body
parts and their correspondence points work in unison continously. When an organ
of our body is malfunctioning, its correspondence point becomes tender
(sensitive) and painful to touch. And when this is stimulated, it normalizes the
pain as well as the affected organ.
Some tools
* Uses
jimmys, diagnostic probes, etc to diagnose and stimulate.
* Various
kinds of magnets.
* Uses seeds
on the correspondence points.
* If nothing
is available, it can use any stone, pebble or anything which is not much
pointed, for stimulation of the correspondence points.
* It uses needles for acupuncture effects.
* It uses
moxas sticks on the hand for giving energy.
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.
Su Jok
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.
