Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion Therapy

　　　　　

　　　　Acupuncture is a mild treatment supported by the long history of the Chinese
　　　　traditional medicine. We use the disposable acupuncture made in Japan. It is sanitary
　　　　and safe because it is disposable of every one time. Its thickness is almost the same
　　　　as a hair, so there is nearly painless.

　　　　Moxa we use is calm warmth. We use moxa made of tansies by placing to the skin
　　　　indirectly. Since moxa warms the body from inside, it’s very useful to improve the
　　　　circulation, especially for having a cold constitution. It also helps to improve immunity.
　
　　　　The acupuncture and moxibustion therapy deeply affects the autonomic nervous system
　　　　and the immunity system by promoting the blood circulation and loosening the strained
　　　　muscle, and triggering a natural response of body. The acupuncture and moxibustion
　　　　therapy is expected to elicit natural healing capacity and improve various symptoms.



　　　　Theory of Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion in GEISYUNDO

　　　　Generally, when you hear "Chinese acupuncture", you may think that the needle is
　　　　made in China. But the one we are using is made in Japan. The word "Chinese
　　　　acupuncture" means not indicate the needle itself, but acupuncture treatment based
　　　　on the Chinese theory.

　　　　We have two treatment theories of Chinese acupuncture as follows.

　　　　■Dialectic Acupuncture Method

　　　　　There are two kinds of factors that cause physical disorder.
　　　　　The one is a condition of supranormal excitability in exaggerated response to a
　　　　　stimulus from inside or outside of the body, such as high fever, pain or inflammation.
　　　　　In this case, we use a strong technique like persistent pressure to suppress the
　　　　　exaggerated response. The other is a case of weak response to the stimulus such as
　　　　　chronic debility, weakness both in mind and body, and so on. In this case, we use the
　　　　　mild technique to encourage the physiological response.
　　　　　By these methods, imbalance of visceral function will improve and the vital energy and
　　　　　blood will flow smoothly.

　　　　■Meridian Circulation

　　　　　It is a method to adjust the visceral function and improve the condition by using
　　　　　meridian points which most activate corresponding to that time based on the Chinese
　　　　　theory of time and medical science.



　　　　The feature of Chinese acupuncture moxibustion

　　　　Chinese acupuncture has more than 3,000-years history.
　　　　It may be no exaggeration to say that the stone or acupuncture is one of two pillars of
　　　　medical system in China, along with medicine as the word of “medical stone" has been
　　　　handed down. The Chinese acupuncture has the following excellent features.

　　　　systems, etc and WHO (World Health Organization) also indicates about it as the following
　　　　list. Especially, it is widely used for the treatment of chronic diseases, intractable disease,
　　　　and various painful affections, etc. in the world.

　　　　Moreover, Chinese medicine has a concept that treatment of physical disorder which is
