A Brief History of KOSA Acupuncture

While acupuncture boasts a rich history spanning thousands of years, the full utilization of its underlying theory, encompassing Yin, Yang, and the Five Elements, remained elusive for much of that time.
Approximately 400 years ago, Saahm, an ascetic with roots in Korea, made significant contributions by formulating key theories. Regrettably, this knowledge was lost until the early 1950s when the esteemed Great Great Master Rhee rediscovered Saahm’s book. He dedicated himself to studying, treating patients, and passing on this invaluable wisdom to his apprentices.
The mantle of knowledge was then passed to The Great Master Kim, succeeding his father, who not only preserved but further enriched the profound work of his predecessors. Through meticulous study and practical application, The Great Master Kim demonstrated that Saahm’s thesis was not merely an academic concept but an unparalleled healing system of great efficacy.
