Toyohari is a
specialized Japanese form of East Asian medicine. As a refined system of
traditional Five Element meridian therapy, it is effective and painless. In
this tradition emphasis is placed on the meridians, the five elements, and
yin/yang theory. In addition, using the four basic diagnostic methods, to see,
to hear, to ask, and to feel, the acupuncturist gathers vital information to
arrive at the correct diagnosis. These methods include observing the color and
luster of the skin, assessing the patient's predominate emotion, listening to
the sound of the voice, asking about the patient's history and preferences and,
most importantly, feeling the abdomen and the quality of the pulses palpated on
both wrists. All this information is put together to create the specific
diagnosis for that individual. It is this process of information gathering that
is used to establish the diagnosis that will lead to an effective treatment
plan for that particular pattern of disharmony. The Toyohari practitioner
strives to identify the specific constitutional factor, or root problem,
responsible for the imbalance leading to the patient's symptoms. Symptoms are
seen as a distress signal of the body. For example, pain can be such a distress
signal. If we merely get rid of the pain by masking the symptoms we ignore the underlying
cause of the problem. In this ancient and profound system of medicine,
restoring harmony and balance is the goal of treatment. When this is achieved
the symptoms subside and the patient feels renewed energy and vitality at all
levels of body, mind and spirit.
