Su
Jok Acupuncture
Introduction
Literally, Hand and Foot : (Su means a
hand, and Jok means a foot), Su Jok is a form of acupuncture
or acupressure therapy which is highly condensed and
focused on the treatment of diseases and disorders by
concentrating only on hands and feet.
Unlike classical acupuncture treatment by Su-Jok is
accomplished solely on hand and foot which reflects
the name of this method. According to the Su-Jok acupuncture
system, highly active point's correspondent to all internal
organs and parts of body are available on hand and foot.
Stimulation of these points gives normalizing influence
to the function of diseased organs.
The points are composed in a strict anatomical order,
reflecting the structure of the body in a diminished
form. This is explained with the fact that the hand
and foot reflecting principles of hologram repeat the
physical structure of the body, especially in comparison
with its architectonic.
Sujok (hand & foot) Acupuncture not only to treat
hand and feet diseases.
Though Sujok treatment is done only in hands & feet
it is for all the diseases affecting all the systems
& whole body.
Origin
The first information on acupuncture date from the
period of finding stone needles (3,000 BC) that are
nowadays property of the Korean National Museum and
the only direct proof of the assumption that ancient
Korea must have been one of acupuncture cradles. There
is a written record based on these investigations, which
is at the same time the oldest medical book in the world,
the book Nei Ching. In translation it means a stone
needle and it originates from east part of China.
Basic principles
in Sujok therapy
According to the principles of Onnuri medicine and
Oriental Energetic Concepts, diseases occur in human
body and mind are purely due to the imbalances of the
forces acting on them. Sujok achieves cure by bringing
on balance and harmony of the forces in the body and
mind.
Stimulation and Treatment
Su Jok contains many methods of treatment. One method
we experience every day is by walking on our feet and
working with our hands. This gives us constant, random
stimulation on corresponding points; however, purposeful
hand and foot massage (also known as hand or foot reflexology)
is even better. There are many methods of stimulation
besides mechanical pressure, including:
1. Miniature magnets designed both to give both mechanical
and magnetic force stimulation;
2. Moxibustion in the form of: (a) moxa sticks; (b)
moxa the size of rice grains held on the hand or foot
by small holders to prevent direct contact; and (c)
direct thread moxa;
3. Massage rollers to stimulate the hands and feet;
4. Soft lasers;
5. Miniature hand needles; and
6. Colored transparent plastic discs placed strategically
on charka hand points.
Other methods will be developed based on our technological
and biological advancements in understanding on the
physical and quantum levels of human functioning.
