The word SU in Korean means the hand, and JOK means the feet. Su Jok Therapy is a
new method of curing diseases by stimulation of the hands and the feet with a combined
use of acupuncture, medical treatment aids like moxibustion, finger pressure therapy and
others. It has been discovered by South Korean professor, Park Jae Woo.
Since the time the Su Jok therapy principles were made public, many people in Korea and
other lands, have learnt the theory of the method and applied it in practice with remarkable
success. Two levels of knowledge are best to be marked out in the Su Jok System: one for
people without a medical education, and the other for medical practitioners who are apt to
employ the therapeutic potentialities of this method more profoundly.
The basic level utilizes for treatment a simple stimulation of the counterparts -
corresponding areas- on the hands and the feet, since that stimulation results in therapy
easy for anyone and successfully reliever of almost all the complaints. There is no
particular need of special medical instruments to work in this level. The target can be
achieved with the help of natural stimulators such as grains, thorns, small pebbles, etc. If
the population gets trained in basics of the treatment to a level that would enable everyone
to help oneself when necessary and provide first aid, many people would not need to apply
to medical institutions in cases of minor indispositions and would live a happier life.
Nevertheless hands and feet are more than just miniature copies of the physical body. They
carry also the likeness of the energy system of the body and its components: meridians and
chakras. Any disease is basically caused by disturbances of the energy balance in the
organism or in a part of it. It has been proved by experience that comparatively simple
methods of stimulating different links of the energy system can produce remarkable
curative effects. The principles of magnetic stimulation of miniature projections of the
meridians (byol meridians) and chakras (byol-chakras) on hands and feet are relatively
simple and can be learned and mastered in little time. Thus, the second step in Su Jok (Six
Ki) treatment is non-invasive treatment by byol-meridians and chakras.
SU JOK TREATMENT
Su Jok Therapy has not contra-indications and secondary effects. It can be used parallel
with every other way of treatment. Thus the disease will be cured faster and the quantities
of the taken drugs (if you take any) and the damages caused by them will be smaller.
Many illnesses do not necessarily require medical assistance. You can practice Su Jok
without medical control with banal, acute or chronic diseases. The method is extremely
effective in wide range of diseases, but there are a number of diseases that are too
dangerous and must be treated only under the control of a doctor or specialist in Su Jok
Therapy.
You must know for sure which the diseased organ is, where the focus of the disease is, to
define correctly the correspondence zone and stimulate the healing Su Jok points. The
nature of disease is not important. The healing impulses directed to the diseased organ
cure it no matter what the disease is. You can not use Su Jok to influence symptoms
directly – vertigo, nausea, high temperature, high blood pressure, etc -. It is important to
know the disease of which organ causes those symptoms and then the organ should be
treated through its correspondence zones.
You can find the pain Su Jok points in the correspondence zones with a simple instrument
called diagnostic probe, or with a proper object at hand. The diagnostic probe serves for
location and massage of the pain points on the hand and foot. It is a stick made of metal,
plastic or wood, about ten centimetres in length. Its both ends are spherical, with roundness
2-4 mm. One of the spheres is with larger diameter and is used on the soft parts of the
hand. The small sphere is used on the areas where the bones are close to the skin.
To create a healing impulse and achieve a healing effect it is necessary the Su Jok points
to be stimulated. It can be done in different ways.
With diseases that are not so serious, a soft way of stimulation of the pain points can be
used. Sufficient is the massage with a diagnostic probe, seed-therapy or magnets.
The more serious, acute and chronic diseases require powerful and lasting healing
impulses, which can be created with moxa, needles or combination of different methods of
stimulation.
The procedures number depends on the nature and seriousness of the disease. They may
be done every day, no matter what time of the day, but not more than 14 in one course of
treatment. Normally, 3 to 5 procedures daily are enough.
The duration of the procedure depends on the stimulation method and the number of the
stimulated pain points or areas.
If you have several diseases, you must select the one affects you the most, because the
distribution of healing impulses among many organs decreases their effectiveness.
Nevertheless it is possible to treat two diseased organs simultaneously by alternating the
healing procedures. If symmetric organs or parts of the body are diseased (for example the
two kidneys or the two knees), you can heal them by alternating procedures for the left and
for the right side.
In some cases it is possible to feel no improvement at the time of the healing course and
the disease can fade away suddenly, several days or weeks after its finish. In other cases,
you might get a disease aggravation in the course of the healing procedures; that is the so
called “healing crisis” and should not worry you.
HAND – BODY CORRESPONDENCE CHART
(Front side)
The human body has the trunk and five protruding parts: the head and four extremities. The
hand, too, has a palm and five protruding parts -the fingers-. When one looks at a person in
a natural upright position that persons head is uppermost; legs are the lowest as they are
on the ground; arms are located in an intermediate position. When one' s arms hang down
freely the thumb is uppermost. It corresponds to the head. The location level of the second
and fifth fingers corresponds to that of the arms, while the location level of the third and
fourth fingers corresponds to the legs.
By using the pit of the human stomach as the center point and rotating the head 140
degrees, the parts of the hand will correspond to particular parts of the body. The thumb
identifies the head and the neck; the chubby part of the palm under the thumb is the chest
and the palm as a whole refers to the abdominal region.
(Front side)
Compared to the hand the foot' s structural resemblance to the body is not as evident.
However, the foot gets stimulated more frequently and much more strongly than any other
part of the human body. It follows that the correspondence system developed in the foot
may be more effective.
The principles of body correspondence structure which apply to the feet are the same as
those of the hands: the big toe to the head and neck, the round shaped pad under the big
toe to the chest and the palm of the foot to the abdominal area. Respectively, the third and
the forth toe correspond to the legs, while the second and the fifth toe to the arms.
Anatomically, the principal difference between the foot and the hand is that the big toe is
not separated noticeably from the other toes. It may be due to the fact that the feet
generally belong to Yin and perform much simpler functions compared with the hands.
BODY CORRESPONDENCE CHART OF THE HAND AND FOOT
(Dorsal sides)
The parts of body related to the Yang (places which naturally are exposed to the sunlight),
i.e. the outside parts of legs and hands, the buttocks, the back of head and others are
represented in the Yang sides: back of the hands and the top of the feet. The treatment of
areas like the shoulders, spine and waist yield excellent results when undertaken on the
Yang sides of the hand and foot.
