Abstract:

Although acupuncture has been used in clinical practice for a long time, there are still opinions and pros and cons of its effectiveness in various theories and treatments. Koryo hand acupuncture therapy will be a new guideline for new acupuncture medicine or integrated medicine in the 21st century because it demonstrates the well-defined principles and theories of diagnosis and treatment. It is difficult to reach the goal of standardization or modernization without understanding the characteristics of acupuncture. We will have opportunity to understand the overview of Koryo hand therapy and the clinical application. Korean Hand Acupuncture Therapy (KHT) micro-meridian and gold meridian acupuncture have been developed since 1971. Micro-meridians in the hands reflect the corresponding points of the body, gold meridians in the body correspond to the micro-meridians of KHT. There are 14 meridians and 404 acupuncture points. They have unique theories and diagnostic and therapeutic methods comparing with traditional acupuncture. It is simple to learn and to practice without side effects. For them, only newly developed tools of KHT are used. They will be new candidates in clinical practice and research in the acupuncture world.
