APPROACH
Comprehensive Care Without Reliance on Medication
Unlike conventional Western medications, Kampo does not simply suppress symptoms. It aims to support the body’s natural healing capacity and restore overall balance. At our clinic, Kampo is combined with exercise programs and dietary guidance to help patients regain a healthy lifestyle without dependence on medication.
Kampo may also play a role in prevention, not just treatment. It may help address everyday complaints such as cold sensitivity, fatigue, stress, and poor sleep — supporting the body before illness develops, with a view to long-term well-being.
SYMPTOMS
Conditions That May Benefit from Kampo
General Fatigue
Digestive Issues
Cold Sensitivity & Poor Circulation
Headaches & Migraines
Oedema & Stiff Shoulders
Gynaecological Concerns
Allergic Symptoms
General Malaise
Kampo may help address these concerns not only on their own, but also more effectively when combined with chiropractic and acupuncture care. For those who have been told “nothing is wrong” by a hospital yet continue to feel unwell, Kampo may offer a new path forward.
FLOW
Treatment Process
1. Pulse & Tongue Diagnosis
To minimize preconceptions, the Kampo consultation begins with pulse and tongue diagnosis before the interview. This allows us to objectively assess the body’s current state and visualize your health condition.
2. Lifestyle Review
After presenting our observations, we conduct a detailed interview covering your daily habits, diet, exercise, and sleep to identify the root causes of your concerns.
3. Bespoke Prescription
Based on the consultation, we propose a personalized Kampo formula and the best overall treatment plan, which may include acupuncture and chiropractic care.
4. Ongoing Support
We provide integrated care including Lifestyle Prescription, medical chiropractic, and IV therapy. Sharing concrete plans and measurable goals, we walk alongside you as you address your condition.
