What treatment methods does South Korean Medicine, ‘Sujok’, offer?
Sujok is a combination of two Korean words: namely “Su” meaning hands and “Jok” meaning feet. The majority of Sujok treatments are via hands and feet and can occasionally be extended to the whole body, using twist and spiral motions.
Sujok acupuncture is a natural therapy of healing without drugs or medications. The treatment method is chosen to suit the condition and to restore overall balance within the individual. It uses acupuncture, acupressure, massage, magnet, light, colour and seed therapies.
All treatments have a holistic approach to the well-being of the individual and are performed predominantly on hands and sometimes on feet.
What conditions does Sujok therapy treat?
Sujok therapies treat a variety of conditions in all body systems: skeletal, nervous, muscular, respiratory, endocrine, immune, cardiovascular/circulatory, urinary, integumentary (skin, hair, nails, exocrine glands), reproductive, and digestive system.
It is effective in reoccurring conditions, resolving pain conditions, addressing “mystery” pains and aches and more conditions that modern medicine may be mystified about. Often combining both modern Western and Korean medicine is also beneficial.
Depending on the condition, treatments can have an immediate effect. In general, it requires several weeks to support the body and mind to adjust to the restoration of balance and to support the readjustment period activating internal healing processes.
What will the treatment be like?
Physical Dimension: The practitioner will use fingers and special rounded, pointed tools to identify the corresponding point of the body to be treated with Sujok methods. The practitioner may apply pressure, twist massage, miniature needles, light, colour, seeds or magnets. Sometimes clients will be given seeds or heated plasters to apply at home to continue the healing process between sessions.
Meta-Physical Dimension: This system uses Byol points, energy centres and meridians within hands and feet, which corresponds to full body meridian system and chakras popularised in Indian yogic practices. During the diagnosis, Sujok defines Six Ki or Triorigin energies and emotional constitutions and tailors the treatment formula to the individual and their current condition.
