Korean Hand Therapy (KHT)

What is KHT?

Korean Hand Therapy also known as KHT, Soojichim, or Seogeum Therapy is a unique and versatile system of micro reflex acupuncture. Founded and developed by the Korean Acupuncturist  Dr. Tae-Woo Yoo between 1971 and 1975, it is now practiced across 50 countries worldwide and continues to grow in popularity, with teaching centres currently in 17 of these countries.  
The entire system of TCM body points is charted and precisely reflected on the hand enabling all systems of traditional acupuncture to be applied. The hand, considered the ‘outer or second brain’ has 15,000 sympathetic nerve fibres, equal to in the rest of the body, allowing for effective modulation of the sympathetic nervous system and a rapid return to health.
