The power of self-healing in your own hands.

There are many parts of your body that represent body maps (or holograms) for treating your whole body, such as your face, ears, hands, and feet. But your hands are special for two reasons: you can easily reach them and you have a full map on each hand! KHT stands for Korean Hand Therapy, which was developed in South Korea by Dr. Tae-Woo Yoo in 1971.
