Toyohari - Japanese Acupuncture
Toyohari is a form of traditional East Asian medicine. It is a
refined system of Japanese five phase meridian therapy. Toyohari
is largely based on the practitioner's palpatory skills, ability
to feel Ki (Qi), and specialized needle techniques (many of which
are non-insertive). Its theoretical foundation is derived from
the medical classics: Nei Jing, Su Wen, Ling Shu, and Nan Jing.
Many practitioners of this style in Japan are blind and have
developed extraordinary sensitivity to qi through this
practice.
Because Toyohari is a holistic therapy, the aim of treatment
is not as much focused on the relief of individual symptoms as it
is focused on fortifying vital energy (Qi, chi, or ki) and
rebuilding the physical constitution. Through this process, the
individual symptoms are naturally relieved, along with blood
pressure and body weight abnormalities, ailments due to aging,
etc. Patients develop a smooth, bright overall complexion, and
those who are often prone to illness build strong and healthy
constitutions. In this way, patients find relief from a lot of
day to day problems, and those who come in regularly for
treatment can avoid common colds as well as serious diseases, and
tend to lead long and healthy lives. For most treatments, silver
or gold acupuncture needles are used, and are NOT inserted into
the skin! The Qi is moved without stimulating the nervous system.
Nervous system stimulation can sometimes interfere with removing
Qi blockages. Since, the goal is to promote the healthy movement
of Qi, we use the most effective technique to achieve it.
From an old East Asian medicine saying: "A foolish person gets
caught up in the form, treating the disease that has already
become manifest. A wise person is wary of ki-energy, treating the
disease that is not yet manifest." In other words, waiting for
the appearance of physical forms of disease before attempting
treatment, they are way behind where they could be. On the other
hand, a person can stay a step ahead of disease and thereby avoid
getting sick by keeping healthy Qi flowing, supporting the body's
natural immune system.
This is what makes Hari a powerful therapeutic system for both
preventing disease and maintaining health. Additionally, sudden
and dramatic conditions can be quickly treated, including
emergency techniques for pain relief, alleviating fever, stopping
coughs and diarrhea, etc.
Whether you are looking for relief from a serious illness,
trying to avoid hospitals and surgery, or beset with a problem
you just can't make heads or tails of, you can find relief
through Hari.
