KHT Level 1 Intensive Workshop for Practitioners
KHT Basic Level 1 Course is the first course in a series to master a powerful and accessible microsystem in your hands. There are numerous Microsystems, but the KHT Hand system offers a broader range of applications for treating your patients beyond correspondence therapy. It contains a full map of the body acupoints on each hand. Almost any treatment you do for the body can be applied to the hand, including command points, mu and shu points, meridian therapy, 5-element therapy, and more!

Review Full Course Details
KHT was developed in 1971 by the renowned South Korean medical practitioner, Dr. Tae Woo Yoo. Korean medicine is rooted in the classical Chinese medicine tradition based on the ancient classical texts of the Nei Jing, Nan Jing and Yi Jing. This is why KHT can add a significant impact to your acupuncture practice.
While needles can be used in KHT, you can perform a complete treatment without needles and instead use silver/gold pellets, seeds, and/or moxa. This expands your practice to work with children and patients who may be averse to needles, ensuring that everyone can benefit from. Most of all, you can instruct your patients to apply your recommended treatments at home between appointments.

KHT Basic Course -- Full Details
Course Description:
KHT is a powerful type of acupuncture known as a microsystem, using a body part as a holographic map of the entire body. For pain and common functional problems, tiny noninvasive metallic pressure pellets can be applied to the hand instead of needles. Taking charge of your health, reducing doctor visits, and improving your quality of life can be simpler than what traditional Western medicine, alone, teaches you.

• Personal 30-minute one-on-one Q&A session to address your specific needs
• Complete KHT Travel Kit mailed to you ($40 value)

Student Success Stories:
“I studied the KHT Basic videos and practiced with the kit that arrived in the mail, but the magic happened during my personal Q&A when I had real pain to address. Dr. de la Torre showed me exactly where to apply the pellets for my shoulder injury. Minutes later: pain gone. The complete package – videos, kit, and personalized guidance – transforms learning into actual healing.”
“The best part about the course is that you can utilize the information learned immediately, (especially with Barbara providing an initial starter kit), and experience remarkable, rapid results! I’m especially impressed that Barbara can engage and speak to an audience that has both acupuncturists and people without a healthcare background.“
