To create a healing impulse and to achieve a healing effect it is necessary the su jok points to be stimulated. In essence the su jok points are acupuncture ones. To activate them are used traditional ways of stimulation that are also practiced in the traditional acupuncture. Most often are used:

Moxa stimulation (moxa);

Cold stimulation (criotherapy);

The cold stimulation is quite unpopular but is nec­essary in particular cases. It can be used instead of moxa when the disease includes high temperature of the whole body or of the diseased organ, or when the weather is too hot. In these cases the moxa use is not recommended. It’s better to put ice on the traditional or su jok points. For the purpose you can use ice made in pieces and put in a nylon bag, trying to lay it only on the traditional point or on the area with the pain su jok points.

You can also use a test-tube or other appropriate glass vessel filled with ice.

Special plastic forms, which can be used for mak­ing of ice “cigars” – cigar-shaped ice pieces, are also manufactured.

You can make an ice “cigar” by yourself as you freeze water in an appropriate tubular plastic bottle.

The duration of the process is the same as for the moxa stimulation.
