It is believed that acupuncture treatments and moxabustion have been used for well over 2,500 years with written confirmation over 2,000 years old. The original acupuncture treatment needles were made of stone.
Over the centuries Chinese medicine has surged ahead or floundered according to the whim of the ruling emperors. With the open door policy of China since the 1980's, there have been huge advances and scientific validation of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatments and practices. With more and more research, TCM is becoming an increasingly important component in world medicine.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) philosophy is based on the principle of Yin and Yang which explains the balance of life, ie, there is no night without day or hot without cold. To fully understand this relationship is a life long study. This principle can be used in all aspects of life and the balancing of Yin and Yang in the body is necessary for optimum health. The essence of TCM is the "life force" known as Qi (energy). Chinese belief is that Qi flows in all things, including our bodies in "Channels" or "Meridians".
TCM has a holistic approach to health and embodies the' four levels' which include the physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual planes.
To make a TCM diagnosis, the practitioner takes an in depth case history and closely analyses current signs and symptoms as well as feeling the pulse and examining the tongue. The pulse reveals how the Qi is flowing in the Channels and the levels of Yin and Yang in the body. By examining the tongue, the practitioner can determine the quality of the Qi in the organs.
Once a diagnosis has been made, your acupuncturist will place very fine needles in the acupuncture points most appropriate to ensure the free flow of your Qi and to balance Yin and Yang. Once the Qi flows smoothly, good health returns. Acupuncture is best used in a course of treatments to ensure continued and lasting results.
Moxabustion (Moxa) is the art of applying a burning herb in various ways to the appropriate points on the body. Moxabustion (Moxa) can be used alone or with acupuncture and is very commonly used for children and widely used as a home remedy in various countries in Asia. Moxa is a common herb/weed and can add Qi to the body and improve circulation.
Acupuncture is a proven, non-pharmaceutical treatment which can be used for a wide range of conditions and which has an excellent success rate as well as being an incredibly relaxing experience.

"The sage does not cure the sick only when they are sick, but prevents the illness from arising. In the same way he does not put right upheavals in the body politics, he prevents them from ever taking place. Surely it is too late to administer drugs after the illness has declared itself or to try to suppress a revolt after it has come about. Is it not like beginning to dig a well when one feels thirsty, or starting to manufacture weapons of war after the battles have begun?"
The Yellow Emperor's Classic of InternalMedicine
The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine is one of the traditional writings used by acupuncturists world-wide. It is believed to be at least 2,000 years old. Its edict is simple. For a long and healthy life we should live in moderation and according to the patterns of heaven and earth. If we don't, we become ill. It is through these observations of why we become ill and what to do to prevent it that Traditional Acupuncture methods are based.
Toyo Hari is a type of traditional acupuncture that is relatively new to Australia. It is a refined system of Japanese meridian therapy. It is different from other forms of acupuncture in that it uses more delicate and often non-inserted acupuncture techniques often using needles made of gold and silver. A Toyo Hari practitioner's aim, like other traditional based acupuncture methods, is to restore balance and harmony back to the individual through the treatment of the meridians or channels of the body to harmonise the balance of 'ki' (also known as 'qi').
Fukushima Kodo was the founder of the Toho Hari Medical Association which has trained sighted and non-sighted acupuncturists around the world. Toyo Hari trained acupuncturists are taught to use a more hands-on method of evaluation and feedback to treatment. This is called the Kozato method and is used in study groups by Toyo Hari trained practitioners to refine their skills.
As a client receiving treatment you would expect to feel better after each session. You may or may not feel the needles. You may or may not feel something happening, but less pain is always the best feedback to a correctly given treatment. How many sessions required usually depends on many variables that are discussed with your practitioner during your consultation.
The initial consultation will take a little longer, sometimes up to an hour to allow time for questions to be answered. As treatments progress the sessions will often reduce to 30 minutes dependent upon the individual.
All treatments are scheduled at one price of $70 per treatment.
