In simple language, Hands and feet work as remote control of our body. Sensitive points of all organs and body parts are located on Hands and feet. We can treat any disorder by stimulating these points.
Plotting of our body on hand and feet is based on law of similarity and polarity. As compared to other reflexology and acupressure methods, the points are plotted on hands and feet according to body anotomy so, there is no need to mugging up location of points. The body and it's corresponding points are in connectivity of each other through energy flow. Whenever organ is affected, corresponding points become tender and when that point is stimulated, organ gets healed. This is how treatment trough Sujok Therapy is done.
