Koryo Hand Therapy (KHT)
Koryo Hand Therapy is a unique method that views the hands as a microcosm of the body. By stimulating specific points on the hands, the body's functions can be influenced and regulated.
According to this therapy, there are 14 micro-meridians and 345 acupuncture points on the hands that correspond to the body's internal organs. Master Choi uses hand needles or press-pellets to stimulate these points, helping to balance the body's overall function.
Cupping
Cupping is a treatment technique that utilizes vacuum suction to draw blood to the surface of the skin. The suction on the skin opens the pores, stimulates bloodflow, breaks up obstructions, and creates an avenue to toxins to be drawn out from the body. The cups assist in the release of stagnation and promote a smooth flow of blood and Qi. Cupping helps to release the muscles and nerves, relieving pain and discomfort. Cupping therapy can help with a wide range of disorders, the most common being back pain, asthma, digestive disorders and common colds.
Herbal Medicine
Oriental herbal medicine is a holistic practice that views the body as an interconnected system. By using specific combinations of herbs, the body's balance and health can be restored and maintained. This approach involves natural ingredients that work together to target the underlying causes of health issues. Each herbal formula is carefully crafted to harmonize the body's energy, supporting both physical and emotional well-being. These remedies help to strengthen the immune system, prevent illness, and promote overall vitality.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion involves the heating of acupuncture points with smoldering mugwort herb (known as moxa). Moxibustion stimulates circulation, counteracts cold and dampness in the body, and promotes the smooth flow of blood and qi. This safe, non-invasive technique may be used alone, but it is generally used in conjunction with acupuncture treatment.
