Korean Hand Acupuncture (also called Koryo Hand Therapy, Koryo Sooji Chim or just KHT) is similar in many ways to the more familiar general acupuncture of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), except that Korean hand acupuncture is performed on only the hand and not all over the body. It is based on the principle that the hand is a micro system version of the whole body and hence all the acupuncture points and meridians on the body can also be found represented on the hand.

Korean Hand Acupuncture works in the same way as whole body acupuncture. By stimulating the acupuncture points where energies are believed to be stuck and hence interfering with the body’s natural flow of energy and balance of health. Stimulation allows the energy to flow freely again.

As with whole body acupuncture, Korean Hand Acupuncture is used as a form of alternative and complementary therapy to benefit many numbers of conditions. These conditions are wide and varied, and include: colds and flu, cough, bronchitis, tonsillitis, high blood pressure, skin conditions, stomach ache, indigestion, nausea, wind, constipation, diarrhea and pre-menstrual tension, to name a few.

Korean Hand Acupuncture can be used on just about everybody because it is easy to administer and is virtually painless, making it particularly good for children.
