Sujok therapy is a form of alternative medicine that is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine and Korean acupuncture. It involves the use of small needles or seeds that are applied to specific points on the hands and feet to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.
While there is limited research on the use of sujok therapy specifically for anxiety, some practitioners suggest that it may be helpful as a complementary therapy alongside conventional treatments.
In sujok therapy, there are specific points on the hands and feet that are believed to correspond with different parts of the body and emotions. For example, the “heart point” on the palm of the hand is said to be associated with emotions such as anxiety and fear.
Sujok therapy for anxiety may involve the application of small needles or seeds to specific points on the hands and feet, as well as massage and acupressure techniques to promote relaxation and reduce stress. Some practitioners also recommend dietary and lifestyle changes to support overall health and reduce anxiety symptoms.
It is important to note that while some people may find sujok therapy helpful for anxiety, it should not be used as a substitute for conventional medical treatment. It is always recommended to consult with a licensed healthcare provider before trying any alternative therapies.
