SuJok Therapy and Onnuri Medicine is based on the principle that the body is represented in the hands and feet. (Correspondence) Hence whatever is in the body has to be found in the hand or the foot—whether it is a body part, organ, meridian or charka, etc. Sometimes treatment is given at the correspondence level. Here we use
needles (Acupuncture), micro magnets, soft laser, burning of herbs (Moxibustion), massage(Acupressure) ,etc at the pertinent point.

The next level of treatment is the 5-element principle. The body is made up of the five elements which create certain energies which are in a state of dynamic equilibrium. When any one or more of these energies vary beyond a certain range, disease is created in the body. Treatment consists of re-establishing a harmonious equilibrium thus restoring health. At this level , not only the body and it’s physical problems can be treated but persons can also be given stability in the emotion and reason levels of functioning.
