Sujok is hand and foot acupuncture

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

Sujok (Su meaning "hand" and Jok meaning "foot" in Korean) is a form of acupuncture in which all acupuncture points are located on the hands and feet and which is designed to treat people on both a physical and metaphysical level.



Introduced by Prof Park Jae Woo in the year 1987, Sujok is a drugless and natural form of healing. Professor Park Jae Woo a South Korean scientist concluded after many years of research that Su (hand) and Jok (feet) have corresponding similarities to the human body. He has outlined his research work as a total synthesis of body, mind and spirit bringing into perspective the miniature and most powerful correspondence acupuncture system existing today. Sujok is a pluralistic system of treatment that has two dimensions, the physical and the metaphysical. It is aimed at harmonising the imbalanced energy in the body, tissues, cells and organs. *The big toe represents the head and the neck. nThe second toe and little toe represent two hands. *The middle and ring finger represent the two legs. nThe third and the fourth toe represent two legs. *The bulged portion of palm represents the chest. *The other part of the palm represents the abdomen. The body has five projections, so do the hand and foot. The arms and legs fold in only one direction and so do the fingers. Advanced Sujok therapy uses needles to balance the energy by methods/theory known as the Six Ki treatment and Tri-origin acupuncture treatment. Results in direct stimulation of the PNS via the A delta fibers which then feeds into the ascending sensory nerve pathways of CNS. Chronic muscle damage is often seen at sights known as trigger points, roughly 75 per cent of acu points coincide with trigger points. Acupuncture relies on the use of color micro-needles, Byol magnets, micro stimulators, heat, pressure and laser light at specific points that effect the flow of vital energy. Short training course can allow the technique to be an effective tool in every dentist's hands.
