Originating approximately 400 years ago, SAAM acupuncture is a relatively new system of acupuncture that has its roots firmly planted in the great classics of Chinese Medicine. SAAM acupuncture utilises the Five-Shu points of the 12 main meridians in 48 basic combinations of “four predetermined acupoints.” It draws on the full breadth of classical Chinese acupuncture tradition and theory to address the mental, emotional and physical aspects of illness.
SAAM Acupuncture (Korean Five Shu Points)
SAAM Acupuncture is a unique Korean method that is about 400 years old, founded by the hermit Saam and discretely handed down. This method involves stimulating points below elbows and knees, and regulating meridians.
SAAM Acupuncture regulates meridians through the Five-Shu points. Five-Shu points is located below the elbows and knees at 12 meridians. There are 5 points at each meridian. As it is located below the elbows and knees, it is believed to be a relatively painless procedure.
