There are many styles of acupuncture that have developed in Asia over the last several thousand years, and this evolution is still proceeding. This book presents an in depth introduction to one of the newest styles, Koryo Hand Acupuncture, which was developed by Dr. Tae-Woo Yoo in 1971 in Korea. Koryo Hand Acupuncture is based on all the tents of traditional body acupuncture as expounded inn the classic, but uses a much less invasive treatment technique in which tiny needles are inserted from 1 to 3 mm into points on the hands.

The theoretical base of this style of acupuncture rests firmly on the theories of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the 12 viscera and the meridian system of energy flow. This volume covers both basic theory and the practical guidelines for learning Koryo Hand Acupuncture. It includes material that should be of interest to any student of traditional oriental medicine, being written by one of the master practitioners of our time.
