Payment<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Can I use the health insurance card?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

We are sorry the treatment is not covered by health insurance at this moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can I pay?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Payment can be made by credit card, touch payments, cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acupuncture<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Is the acupuncture treatment really effective?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

NIH (U.S. National Institutes of Health) has announced that acupuncture is based on medicine with evidence.
I have experienced with acupuncture such as reducing low back pain and headache, recovering from hearing loss from sudden deafness, feeling better from allergic rhinitis, reducing symtoms of the long-covid as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many acupuncture treatments does it take to release the symptoms?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

It depends on the individual\u2019s body condition and symptoms.
We will tell you approximate number of treatments needed after the first interview and treatment.
We won’t compel you to come without a clear purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What kind of acupuncture do you use?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

All needles are made in Japan and are sterilized and disposable. The needles are used only once and then disposed.
There is acupuncture preparation for children as well. It is a technique of touching or rolling the skin with special acupuncture, not using needles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there a chance of getting a blood infection from other patients?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

No, there is no chance of getting any infection from other patients. We use disposable needles for each patient and each point. You can come without any worry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the acupuncture painful?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

There are individual differences between sensitivity of the pain.
Contrasting injection and acupuncture, it causes slight pain or no pain.
We use very fine, painless needles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I take a shower bath after acupuncture treatment?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

You can take a shower on the same day after waiting 1 hour after the treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I drink alcohol after an acupuncture treatment?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Drinking alcohol decrease benefit for treatment, so it is not recommended when having treatment at same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Is there any side effect?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes you will feel tired, sleepy or dizzy right after the treatments up to next day. This depends on the quantity of stimulus from the treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I ask for a single treatment for acupuncture, moxibustion, anma massage and shiatsu?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

You can make a request and I’ll advise the best recommended combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shall I bring spare clothes?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

No need to bring spare clothes if your clothes are relaxing ware.
We have clothes for the treatment which are washed and clean for each guest.
You may bring workout clothes, if you want to change your clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I ask you to change reservation if I’m not on time?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Your time may be changed if there is no reservation.
Please call us if you have an accident.
If there is not enough time for treatment, you may be asked to make a new appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
