Thank you for visiting the Michiyo Acupuncture Clinic website.
Like you, I am one of the many people wondering why there are still so many sick people despite the huge advances in medical technology in recent years.
In particular, I am very disturbed by the rapid increase in the number of people with cancer,
and I am deeply committed to the prevention of this disease. (Cancer has been the most common cause of death in Japan since 1981. In 2005, cancer killed 325,885 people, which is almost double the number of deaths due to heart disease [the second most common cause of death].)
I am quite certain that Oriental medicine, which has a history of more than 3000 years, will bring new light to the coalface of modern medicine in the 21st century. This is because I know through experience that Oriental medicine can relieve physical and mental suffering and provide well-being and happiness by paying close attention to the anguish and pain felt by patients, and by providing treatment in the literal sense of the Japanese word, which is teate, meaning “to put hands on.”
I hope this website can give you more than just a sense of healing, but also a sense of the wonder of real acupuncture and moxibustion.
