All acupuncture-points usually found on the body as well as all meridians can be found also in the hand. This was discovered in 1971 by Dr. YU Tae Woo, a korean specialist on traditional healing methods. Meanwhile this method is used in many countries of the world. Hand acupuncture can be done without special preparations because the hands of the patient can easily be treated by the physician. The effects of the treatment are strong and they can be felt very fast, whereas nearly no side effects of the treatment occur.
Hand acupuncture is without any risk of damaging internal organs through needles.
The technique of setting the needles is simple. Hand acupuncture is not only a local therapy but an overall therapy of regulating the organs of the body because all meridians or their corresponding partners can be found in the hand. They are used in most cases. The needles for hand acupuncture are very small and thin and they are put on place by an applicator, not by hand. The needles do not penetrate very deeply into the skin and therefore nearly no pain can be felt.
