Japanese Acupuncture
Japanese Acupuncture, or Pulse-based Meridian Therapy (Myakushin-ryu Keiraku Chiryo), is a treatment method rooted in the wisdom of Eastern medicine. It focuses on harmonizing the body’s energy flow to address the root causes of symptoms. Using acupuncture and moxibustion (heat therapy), this technique restores the circulation of “Qi” (energy) and “Blood,” activating the body’s self-healing abilities to regain balance in both body and mind.
My Approach
In Eastern medicine, the body is believed to have energy pathways called meridians, through which Qi and Blood circulate. When this flow is smooth, the body remains healthy. However, any stagnation or disruption in this energy flow can affect the function of the organs (the five viscera and six bowels), leading to illness or discomfort.
How is Treatment Administered?
In Pulse-based Meridian Therapy, practitioners diagnose imbalances in the body by reading the pulse and assessing the meridians. Treatment involves techniques called Tonification for areas with deficient energy and Sedation for those with excess energy. By targeting specific acupuncture points on the arms and legs, practitioners aim to restore the body’s overall balance, encouraging optimal health.
Why is it Effective?
A key feature of Japanese acupuncture is its holistic approach—it doesn’t only treat the symptomatic area but also addresses the whole body. For example, if a patient suffers from lower back pain, treatment isn’t limited to the back muscles alone. The therapy also works on internal organs and the autonomic nervous system to achieve a more comprehensive healing. This method is particularly effective for chronic conditions caused by stress and tension, as it works to restore not only physical but also emotional balance.
A Treatment that Activates Your Body’s Natural Healing Power
Pulse-based Meridian Therapy goes beyond temporary relief of symptoms. Its goal is to enhance the patient’s natural ability to heal, fostering long-term improvement. By restoring the body’s energy balance and normalizing the function of the internal organs, this approach supports lasting health and well-being.
