Acupressure

Sujok is a special science, which exclusively deals with acupressure. It is a method to heal the diseases by stimulation of the hands and feet with a combined use of acupuncture, finger pressure therapy or even with a blunt needle or tip of the ball- point pen. It is a simple method and can be learnt within few minutes.

Prof. Park Joe Woo, a Korean by birth is the originator of this therapy '. The treatment involves only hands and feet and hence a simple method to follow and practice.


According to this science the human body is replicated on our palms and feet in a miniature form . It is said that any layman can learn it and practice it without the fear of side effects. It is highly cost effective too.
