Since last two years “Astha” channel is regularly airing the programme on this therapy.Sujok- the treatment of 21st century consists of five types of therapies: Acupuncture, Acupressure, Magnetic Therapy, Seeds Therapy and Color Therapy. The dreaded diseases like Infertility, Obesity, Migraine, Diabeties, Hypertension, Asthma, Arthritis, Cerical spondylosis, Depression, piles can be treated without any medicine and side effect by SU JOK therapy.The word SU JOK has been derived from Korean words, in which SU means hand and JOK means foot.The hand and foot have the resemblance to the human body; particularly hands are too closely related to the human body in term of shape. All the parts of our body can be defined through our palm. Dr. Park Jae Woo has derived this therapy in 1964. After the introduction of this theory medical professionals and general citizens have studied these theories and recorded outstanding cure effect at home or abroad. These therapies are not very much popular in India but if it became popular every citizen can cure its chronic disease without having any allopathic medicines and side effects. If people use this therapy to cure their diseases, they will not have to go to the doctors regularly. The SU JOK therapy is a collection of natural therapies abstracted from the already developed SU JOK. Dr.J.B.Saini (SUJOK Therapist) at Sunder Lal Jain Hospital says that all diseases can be cured by these therapies. But if an immediate surgery has to be done then these may not be very effective. It can be a slow process, but we should wait for good results.
Acupuncture, a Chinese therapy involves insertation and manipulation of small needles at more than 360 points in the human body. Puncturing the skin with small needles is usually the method but an acupuncturist may also use heat, pressure,friction, suction. It is the most common therapy used in China, United States & Japan, but now it is started in India also. People are turning towards this therapy. This therapy can be used to treat Chronic Pain, Drug Addiction, Arthritis, Ulcer, Hypertension (High Blood Pressure), Appendicitis, Asthma and Mental Disorders/Illness.Heart diseases can also be cured by acupunture. Evidences show that it relieves you from nausea during pregnancy also. In past 40 years acupuncture has become a well-known and widely available treatment in both developed and developing countries According to this theory, diseases are caused by interrupted energy flow and inserting needles restores normal flow. Acupuncture is one of the most thoroughly researched and documented alternative medical practices.
A patient who have been suffering from skin problem for a long period says, “I wasn’t able to cure my skin acne problem from long back, but when I started taking acupuncture I got my skin clear”.
Acupressure, another therapy under su jok. It is the health science of Nature and probably the ‘do it yourself therapy’ which tells us how to send the life currents to all the parts of the body. The treatment is given by the pressure by hand, or with a stick, blunt pencil, pen, matchstick etc. this therapy is capable of prevention, instant proper diagnosis and cure of most of the diseases without cost and side effects. Pain at any point on palms or soles when pressed is clear indication of some problem connected with the corresponding organ. The pain is very different from the pain just due to the pressure. This also helps to locate a developing disease even before its outward symptoms appear.
Magnetic therapy is a method in which practitioner uses magnets at the specific points of hands or foot to cure the diseases. The shape, color & size of the magnet may vary according to the need of the patient.Seed Therapy, Seeds are frequently used as natural stimulators at the different points on the hands. The color of seeds is selected on the basis of the disease. The seeds usually used are buckwheat, apples, millets, radish, beat, peas, beans, pepper, grapes etc.Now we come onto the Color Therapy, which is not at all common to the masses in India but those who know only go for it rather than allopathy. Every type of disease whether Chronic pain, ulcers, backache, diabetes, coldness, problems related to liver, heart, gall bladder, lungs, large intestine, kidney, small intestine, urinary bladder, spinal cord, arthritis, asthma, mental illness can be cured by using color therapy. This theory is all about to apply different colors on different points of the hand or foot. The general colors used in this therapy are green, red, brown, yellow, black & orange. It is preferred by the doctors to use right hand of ladies & left hand of gents for applying the color. Applying of the color is based on the age and disease of the patient. Basically there is no side effect of this therapy but once in millions vertigo, giddiness, nausea could happen then contact doctors immediately & only be effective if taken regularly. According to Dr.J.B.Saini (SU JOK Therapist, at Sunder Lal Jain Hospital) all disease can be cured by color therapy. But if an immediate surgery have to done then it may not be much more effective. It can be a slow process, but we should wait for good results. Deepika was suffering from depression and coldness in the body, take color therapy with yoga and now feels fit. Another patient Amarjeet, suffering from gastric problem & burning sensation in throat says, “whenever I have gastric problem & burning sensation I just apply dark blue color on the point and it effects immediately.” The effects of this therapy can be seen within few minutes. The five basic elements to which the colors are connected with are wood, fire, earth, metal & water: the essence of our body. On asking that in how many days a patient can be cured completely, Dr. saini says that it depends upon the disease and & the duration of the disease prevailing in the body of the patient. There are different colors to be applied for different diseases. Color therapy on the basis of chakras has five elements-wind, heat, humidity, dryness & coldness. If anybody had a problem in kidney or urinary bladder –black color, liver or gall bladder-green color, spleen or stomach-yellow color, heart or small intestine-red color, lungs or large intestine-brown color would be applied on different points of the hand. Its effect is completely painless & has good results. Such therapies are convenient to use in pediatric practice & for patients with hypersensitivity to pain. It can also be done through passing different color laser beam on points. A polycolor light impulse (soft laser) has been developed to provide light therapy according to the method of sujok. In this there is a device that allows selecting the color. When there is a deficiency of any energy, the related color should be used & in case of excess one should choose the color of the energy that calm/ sedates the excessive energy. The principle of color selection depends on the character of morbid processes. In a conversation Dr. Saini said, “ There is very less expenditure involved in these therapies amounting Rs. 200-300. But for chronic diseases the amount can raise to Rs. 500-600.” He further adds that it also depends upon the disease and the duration of the disease prevailing in the body of the patient.SUJOK, as an accessible method of improving health, can become a popular method of treatment.
