Minju Seo Acupuncture

I have grown up experiencing Traditional Acupuncture as based on Korean Medicine (KM) as a way of life since I was a baby and this is certainly also true for most Koreans. But KM has developed without the constrictions posed by the Cultural Revolution in China, which consequently led to a distortion of the medical landscape of how Eastern physicians would look at the person in relation to body, mind and spirit as a whole. Emotional issues for example would not be acknowledged in the communist climate of the time.

I worked as a teacher in Korea and travelled to different continents for many years. It was then, at last, that I decided to embark on a journey as a professional acupuncturist through studying a BA (Hons) degree at the College of Traditional Acupuncture in Leamington Spa where the approach in acupuncture is based on the "School of 5 Elements", a system that has only in Korea been preserved in its purest form.
