About this trial
There are many alternative methods to increase breast milk. In the literature, studies on Su Jok therapy applications are limited and no studies on increasing breast milk have been found. In Korean language, 'Su' means hand and 'Jok' means foot. Su Jok therapy is defined as a modern acupressure/acupuncture interpretation that utilises the body's independent communication systems on the hands and feet by applying various techniques such as massage, moxa (heating), needles, magnets and seeds to the reflection points on the hands and feet. Su Jok is an integrated therapy that incorporates many tried and trusted methods of oriental medicine
