SU JOK Healing

Su Jok Therapy was developed by a South Korean scientist, Prof. Park Jea Woo.

The Su Jok Therapy is a new discovery , unknown till now territory of the acupuncture- simple, effective and easy to practise by everybody. It is entirely  concentrated on hands and feet.

Su means a Hand and Jok means a Foot in korean language. Therefore, it is a therapy which makes use of hands and feet for treatment of diseases/disorders.

It has the same theoretical basis as the Korean Hand Acupuncture developed by Dr Yoo Tae Woo, a trained Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) doctor, but it has a different topography.

  

It is a Holistic Science for maintenance of Holistic Health. A holistic Science is one which takes care of the problems completely. i.e. at all levels: physical, mental and spiritual.

The correspondence systems are informative, power producing projections of the organism located on all independent part of the body. Correspondence systems are built in the ears, head, feet, hands, internal organs, tongue, eyebrows and all other parts of the body, even in each cell.
The Su Jok therapy has entirely been created on the basis of the correspondence systems located on the hands and feet. It consists of two levels. The first level is easy to use by people without medical education and includes several healing correspondence system.
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.
