Acupuncture needle

Everyone is worried that it may hurt to tighten but acupuncture needle is completely different in thickness from injection burr. In our clinic , we will use elasticity (about the thickness of the hair) of 0.10 mm - 0.20mm in most cases. Although it can not be said that there is no pain at all, it is about the degree of being bitten by a mosquito.

and All acupuncture needle are disposable.

Moxa(moxibustion)

Point moxa is a hyperthermia therapy that puts things made up of moxa about half the size of rice grains on an acupuncture point.

In that case, you do not have to worry about burns because it paints on ointment to prevent burns called Shiunko ointment and puts moxa over it.

The purpose of point moxibustion is to be able to stimulate key points with pinpoint. If there is a symptom accompanied by cold in the place. and  where you feel cold, there is further effect by adding moxa.

It is also very effective for people with chronic symptoms and weak body energy (kyo-sho).

Depending on the condition, we also recommend that you try at home.

Warm moxa

Warm moxibustion is mainly used to take cold of the stomach. Especially, those with chronic symptoms often have cold of the stomach behind them, so we will do umbilical salt moxibustion for improvement.

Moxibustion head needle(kyutoshin)

I use moxa head acupuncture by putting mushiness on the upper part of the needle.

The purpose of moxa head acupuncture is to relax the muscle and stiffness of the muscle. It is also effective in cases of poor circulation. There is a comfortable warmth and it is a very pleasant treatment.

Childhood acupuncture

Childhood acupuncture is about non stabbing used for children.

It treats by stroking or rubbing with various elasticity not stinging. Since child are metabolized vigorously, even a little stimulation increases the natural healing power and is very effective.

Skin needle acupuncture

Skin needle acupuncture is used to encourage sustained effect on acupoints which are considered to be particularly important after treatment.

The tape contains about 0.06 mm in length of elasticity and stick it to the points. I will stick it for about 3 days. Or use it for sensitive places (fingers, toes, face) etc in the body.

Kinesiology tape

Kinesiology tape is used for acute muscle symptoms and sports injuries.

Especially effective for people with knee symptoms. Recently I can see many players who are using even at the Olympics and professional sports.

Electronic warm moxa device

The electronic warm moxa device used in our clinic warms needle and its surroundings by radiating far infrared rays therefrom by applying electricity to the special ceramics.

The purpose is the same as the moxa head acupuncture, but since it can add thermal energy persistently (longer than the moxa head needle for a long time), it is used when you want to convey the heat to the deep part of the body. This treatment is also very comfortable and relaxing.

TDP lamp

The TDP lamp also radiates far-infrared radiation and warms the body. When wishing to apply hyperthermia over a wide range. When placing the needle acupuncture and placing it, place this lamp from above.

Self diagnosis and prevention of problems with tonsils.

Palpation point

Located beneath and behind the bone behind the ear.(This point called Tenyu in japanese)

Push this point with your finger. if you feel pain,a sense of strain or hard section on this point , it can signal a weakness in your tonsils.

Your tonsils are located in the area around your throat. It is what nay be called the "gatekeeper"

Various bacteria and viruses enter your body when you breath or consume food and drink. The role of "gatekeeper" is to block such unwanted intruders. But if your resistance level is down as a result of excessive stress, excessive fatigue , lack of sleep , or heavy drinking and eating, these intruders can enter your body easily.

Many of the common problems such as chronic fatigue , inflammation of the tendons and ligaments, tennis elbow , lower back pain , allergies ,and all low immune symptoms( cold ,cough, sore throat ,etc) please try the following preventive measures should be taken on a regular basis:

1, Rinse your mouth

The best mixture for a rinse is 15drops of liquid echinacea(available at health food store) and a dash of sea salt in half cup of warm water.

2, Apply pressure on the Tenyo palpation point so that feels good. Continue pressing until the pain disappear,or the tension seems to have eased.

3, Have a good good amount of sleep.

Good health is not something that you can gain by paying a lot of money. It is gained through doing and continuing to do simple things regularly.

Palpitation point (called Daiko in Japanese) located
approx. 5 cm to the left and 5 cm below your belly button. (seediagram at right)　Place the index, middle andring fingers of your right handon this point. Place your left　hand on top of your right and
slowly apply firm pressure. If you feel pain or can feel a hard spot, you may have oketsu blood. If you are not sure, do the same thing on the same point on your right side and compare. In Eastern medicine, this impure oketsu blood is considered to be of great importance.

Oketsu blood means the blood is stagnant or has accumulated.
Do you know how blood moves in your body?
The blood carries oxygen and nutrients essential to the body's survival to all parts of the body. It also removes waste material that the body no longer requires and fights invaders like bacteria and viruses that come from outside of the body.
In addition, the blood performs many functions such as adjusting body temperature and arresting of bleeding. Using an analogy with our daily society,
the blood is in charge of transportation, sanitation and policing.

Because of the blood's numerous functions, when it is stagnant in one part of the body,

it is important to this condition called oketsu blood.
The following are ailments that are regarded to be related to oketsu blood: gynecological disorders.
asthma, circulatory organ diseases, urinary tract diseases, depression, chronic pain (lower back pain, stiff shoulders, etc.). Vitiated blood
may be the cause of the above mentioned problems that have past but have not improved and have chronic. Cause of developing oketsu blood include stress, menstrual abnormalities , unbalanced diet , surgery , child birth,blow or hit etc

Prevention methods

1) Avoid all types of junk food

sugar foods such as cake, chocolate, pop and juice. Foods such as these oxidize the blood, increasing the viscosity of the blood (i.e., thickening of blood)
causing oketsu blood.
2) Take daily baths. Soak in baths that are not too hot for 10 to15 min. This helps reduce stress,
a cause of oketsu blood; it also improves blood circulation. Baths are considered one of the
secrets to Japanese longevity.
3) Do daily light exercises
such as stretching and walking.
(intense exercise such as running or aerobics can sometimes have opposite effect of causing oketsu blood.)

4) massage the entire stomach area before going to bed.

Blood is essential to the body. Like a clear running stream. clean ,healthy blood can wash away all your fatigue and concerns.

Location of point: At the sides of your body between the pelvis and ribs (see diagram)
First, lie down on your side with your body outstretched Place a pillow or cushion under-
neath your side for better results. With the thumb of your hand that is on top, slowly apply strong pressure to the Taimyaku point. If you feel pain, or something that feels like a rope in this spot or excessive ticklishness, it may indicate the development of a distortion in balance in your body.
A strong reaction to the Taimyaku point indicatesa
inbalance in your entire body The Taimyaku point is
where three large muscles converge; this area is crucial for maintaining the body's baląnce and posture. In the case of whiplash,  But treatment for whiplash that does not ease the Taimyaku point cannot possibly lead to a complete recovery.

There are many people who may feel pain or a cramp during or after sports. If the pain goes
away after two or three days of doing the sport, it is likely just adjust the balance in the Taimyaku point.
Sports such as golf and baseball that twist one side of the body can cause a deterioration in body balance. Any distortion or imbalance in the body is the root of all aliments. Stiff shoulders, lower
back pain, and headaches all have a great

influence on many internal diseases.

Prevention methods:
1. Continue light exercises such as walking and stretching on a daily basis. However, when playing sports such as golf and baseball that require twisting one side of the body, spend extra time

stretching the side that is not used.

2. Apply shiatsu pressure on the Taimyaku area. Though it may be a little painful, strong pres-
sure is more effective. Apply pressure for five to ten minutes until the pain or cramp has sub-
sided. Distortion and imbalance in your body is the cause of many ailments and diseases. It also
leads to spiritual and mental imbalance. It has been said that highly trained martial arts

practitioners can grasp the competence of the opponent simply by looking at him or her (especially
the posture). A balanced body will have positive effects not onlv on your health but in other realms such as social interactions and business.

Muscle area to check: SCM(neck area)
Location of muscles: see diagram1

and the point above your nose where your eyebrows begin(Diagram 3). These points have
the effect of calming the sympathetic nerve.

2. Before going to bed, practice abdominal breathing. Take deep breaths, filling up your abdo-
men about 10times. This simple exercise will ease the exchange of the sympathetic nerve. New-
born babies all breathe from the abdomern
3. Take baths regularly,preferably every night. Soak in water that is not too hot for 10 to 15minutes. This also limits the excited condition of the sympa-
thetic nerve. If the exchange of the
autonomic nerve is functioning properly, the body is not something that is susceptible to illness.
