Introduction

What is the basic idea of the Traditional Oriental Medicine to cure the disease?
In the Traditional Oriental Medicine, the human bodies consist of "Qi". "The root of birth and change of life is Qi; all the myriad things of heaven and earth all obey this law. Man's possession of life is completely dependent upon this Qi." So a biased Qi causes the various symptoms of the body, and acupuncture can set them right, after that, the man's body recovers from his illness by himself. That is the theory of curing from illness in the Oriental Medicine and philosophy.

Do you know the Japanese Acupuncture & Moxibustion?
Nowadays many people know and have experiences of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment. Because of its tenderness, none of side effects and an Eastern philosophical manner, the acupuncture has been accepted all over the world. Over two thousand years ago, the Oriental traditional medicine originated in the Qin dynasty, China. Since then, it has lived on as a treatment of the emperors and the people of China, Korea, and Japan. And the method of acupuncture has developed in different ways in each country. Especially in Japan, the method of acupuncture has developed uniquely. More delicate technique and less stimulation by using a thin needle than in other countries are practiced today.

My Diagnosis and therapy.
In making patient's diagnosis, I feel the pulse. Feeling the pulse is the most important aspect of diagnosis. Then I examine the abdomen (in Japanese, "HARA"). The abdomen reflects the internal status of your entire body as well as the pulse. Then I start to treat, usually use a very short and thin needle, which is used only once, and give you a moxa treatment, on the appropriate points on his limbs, abdomen and back. Just a slight stimulation of a needle on your skin moves "Qi" in the body, and finally it reaches the organs and the spirit. Usually, the therapy takes about one hour.
