History of Su Jok:
- This brilliant, simple and straightforward therapy was introduced in the 1980s by Korean scientist, Professor Park Jae Woo.
- After years of clinical practice and experience, he discovered that certain areas in the palms and soles of the feet corresponded to particular body parts and organs.
- By applying pressure and firm massage to the hands and feet of a patient, they would state how well and cured they felt of all types of chronic pains and illnesses.
- This Korean therapy highlights how disease and illnesses begins in our mind, causing energy imbalances or blockages in certain organs.
- Su Jok therapy is part of the Onnuri Medicine, an integrated system of treatment comprising of a variety of techniques to return the body to its natural and healthy equilibrium: some of these methods include, magnet therapy, seed application therapy, colour therapy, smile meditations, smile yoga, crystal therapy and moxibustion.
- Only hands and feet are treated because the therapy believes all diseases and illnesses can be cured through these parts of the body.
- Try this – point your hand downwards and place the thumb in the middle of the hand.
- If you were to look closely at this image, you should see how the index and little finger resemble the arms; and the middle and ring finger are the legs.
- The eight fingers correspond to a body part and each globule is a pressure point for a specific organ, which is positioned under the skin.
- When these globules are stimulated, energy waves are passed to the corresponding organ.
- For instance, if you were to press with your free index and middle finger on the corresponding point sends a fresh flow of blood to the problem area.
- For example, for a sore throat press the middle of the left thumb (which represents the face), or for a headache add pressure to the left thumb-nail.
