SELECTION OF THE CORRESPONDENCE ZONES

The first and most important condition for a suc­cessful single-handed practice of su jok is the correct medical diagnosis.

Before you start practising su jok, you have to know for sure what your disease is and which the diseased organ is. If you don’t have the opportunity the nature of your disease to be determined medically, you can follow your sensations but in principle you should not start a su jok therapy treat­ment without exact medical diagnosis of the disease.  Otherwise it is possible you to go wrong and to stimulate the zones of other organ, not the diseased organ’s zones. This won’t do any harm to you but neither will help. This way you will be disappointed of the method without a rea­son. That is why it is so important a specialist to examine you and to define the exact location of the disease. You should not (save you are forced by the circumstances) try to find the focus of the disease on your own, judging by the location of the pain you feel. Pain is a symptom that could be misleading.

Example: You have pains in your waist and you may decide that you have problems with the spinal column but in fact your pain could be caused by a kidneys disease. It is evident that if you stimulate pain points in a correspondence zone of the spinal column instead of a zone of the kidneys, you won’t have success.

After the diseased organ or part of the body is defined you must choose several of its correspondence zones which you will use for its treatment.

Each organ or part of the body has numerous cor­respondence zones on the hands and feet. The brain  for instance, has forty correspondence zones. To achieve a healing effect it is not necessary to stimulate the pain points in all correspondence zones. Depending on the seriousness of the disease it is enough to choose from one to four of them as you have in mind the following:

• The correspondence zones in the Main system and in the “Insect” correspondence system have the same effec­tiveness.
• The correspondence zones on the feet are more effi­cient than the zones on the hands.
• The primary correspondence zones are more effi­cient than the secondary correspondence zones.
• The combination of zones on the hands with zones on the feet is more efficient than the combination of zones only on the hands or only on the feet.
• When a large body area is affected it is better the smaller correspondence zones in the “Insect” system to be used.

You can find the zones after you see the relevant page of this technique. Carefully compare the spatial posi­tion of your hand and foot with the illustrations in the manual so not to confuse the correspondence zones of the organs, located in the left body half with these locat­ed in the right half.  If you make a mistake by the defin­ing of the correspondence zones against the axis line, there is a danger if your left eye is ill you to stimulate a correspondence zone on the right one and thus not to get the desired result.

Outline the correspondence zones that you’ll use with some harmless colouring agent (marker).

At least in the beginning it is necessary to do this. Thereby you won’t deviate when you look for the pain points in the zone and you’ll find them easier.
