Kim Hong-Kyeong is a scholar who studies a traditional Korean acupuncture method called SAAM acupuncture. He has
taught Korean traditional medicine students about SAAM acupuncture since 1984. He has also devised Cheon-Boo
acupuncture method, SAM-BOO acupuncture method, Sam-Tae-Keuk acupuncture method and Soon-Ki-Hwal-Hyeol acupuncture
method by differentiating the basis of identifying the cause.
He summarized the principles of SAAM acupuncture techniques in the form of four-word poetry so that students could
study them easily. This is the so-called ‘KEUM-OH ILCHIMGA’. Let’s take a look at the ‘KEUM-OH ILCHIMGA’ focusing on
SAM-BOO acupuncture he invented.
Kim Hong-Kyung believes it is safe and less side-effects as he uses the SAM-BOO points, which makes up three of the
five elements. It also explained that there is an advantage of being able to treat various causes together because it
strengthens three of the five elements.
So far, SAAM acupuncture has been emphasized differentiation of the six meridians and organs. However, the SAM-BOO
acupuncture is used the differentiation of the five elements. Therefore, the treatment of the patient’s constitution and body
shape is more important than the patient’s organs and symptoms. This not only helps to understand the existing SAAM
acupuncture method, but also allows to study SAAM acupuncture from a new point of view.
