Accept Trainees at Kampo Medicine Class
漢方 Kampo medicine is a medical system that was imported from the mainland to Japan over 1500 years ago.
It is said that during the 平安時代 Heian period, the Imperial Court’s medical office taught theories and techniques related to 薬 medicine, 鍼 hari(acupuncture), 灸 kyu(moxibustion), 按摩 Anma, and 咒禁 jugon,jujutsu(incantation).
Since then, it has evolved with the times and continues to be practiced today in the forms of 漢方 Kampo medicine and 鍼灸 Shinkyu.
At 和氣香風 Kakikoufu,
香里 Kaori is responsible for teaching the theories and practices of Chinese medicine(TCM), Kampo medicine, and 薬膳 Yakuzen(medicinal cooking).
浩士 Hiroshi handles the theories and practices of Japanese Shinkyu(acupuncture and moxibustion), 経絡 Keiraku(meridian)and 経穴 keiketsu(or Tsubo=acupoints)theory, Eastern philosophy, 武術 martial arts, and 気功 Kiko(qigong).

Okyu is effective for daily health maintenance, improving chronic conditions, preventing colds and dementia, and post-surgical care. Modern science has increasingly recognized the effectiveness of moxibustion, leading to research in various medical and research institutions, confirming its medical benefits.
Please let me know your preferences. For example, you might want to learn the basic techniques of Japanese okyu, find out effective okyu methods for lower back pain, or try making your own moxa. As the session is only 90 minutes, We would like to accommodate your requests as much as possible.

We also teach traditional Japanese moxibustion techniques. These techniques are beneficial for enhancing immunity, regulating the autonomic nervous system, and utilizing nerve reflexes to improve chronic inflammatory conditions.
Time and content are negotiable.
Professional Course: A Course for Qualified Individuals and Students
This course is designed for those who have at least a minimal understanding of Kampo medicine theory or Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory.
The course targets individuals who recognize Kampo medicine as a form of healthcare, acknowledging that regulations vary by country and region.
Kampo medicine and Shinkyu medicine are regulated by Japanese law, requiring various qualifications for handling. Therefore, it is necessary to understand their effectiveness and risks as medical treatments and to handle them with caution.
We aim to impart our knowledge and experience to those with a background in medical theory, law, and public health, or to students currently attending schools in these fields, so they can deepen their knowledge and skills and apply them in future clinical practice.
The techniques of Shinkyu and other practices conveyed by Kakikofu have been refined over a long period of time. They do not involve numerous techniques or complex theories. These skills are acquired through years of simple and repetitive training. In time, you will come to understand that a single, simple technique can improve many conditions and symptoms.
This is what we teach, so we have no intention of instructing those who dislike this type of training or cannot maintain it. It is not suitable for those seeking novel theories or a wide array of techniques.
We aim to pass down the traditional techniques correctly to those who truly need them and who genuinely want to heal various conditions and symptoms.
Our guidance ensures steady improvement and skill enhancement.
Currently, we are accepting only a small number of trainees, focusing on Shinkyu techniques. Training primarily covers traditional Japanese tube-needle techniques, case studies tailored to specific conditions, non-insertive needles,
techniques using minimal stimulation, training to enhance treatment levels, and other methods as needed. Instruction is only provided to those who are licensed to perform acupuncture in their respective countries.
For those who are particularly eager to learn Kampo medicine, instruction is only available to individuals already qualified in TCM, pharmacy, or as medical doctors. We are not currently accepting trainees for Kampo medicine alone.
Additionally, if you represent an educational institution, government agency, or company and are interested in internships or corporate seminars, please let us know.
-
10,000 yen per hour (excluding tax), with a minimum of 10 hours. You can pay by credit card. - Each day's instruction consists of two 90-minute sessions (with a break in between).
- Courses are held 2-3 times per week.
