GOLD ACUPUNCTURE MODEL AND
MIRCO-MERIDIAN ACUPUNCTURE
MODEL OF KORYO HAND
ACUPUNCTURE
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.
