Sujok Therapy is a type of alternative healing technique that uses the hands (Su) and feet (Jok) to diagnose and treat various health conditions. It was developed by Dr. Park Jae Woo in South Korea. 🖐️🦶
How It Works
- Sujok therapy is based on the idea that hands and feet reflect the whole body, similar to reflexology.
- Specific points on the hands and feet correspond to organs, glands, and body systems.
- By stimulating these points, you can supposedly:
- Relieve pain
- Improve circulation
- Boost energy
- Support organ function

- Seeds / Beads Therapy
- Small seeds or beads are taped to points to provide continuous stimulation.
- Colored Therapy
- Uses colors to stimulate or calm specific points.
- Magnet Therapy
- Small magnets applied to points to influence energy flow.
- Needle Therapy (Sujok Acupuncture)

- Back and joint pain
- Digestive issues
