Oriental Medicine
What we do
What the Oriental Medicine Department does:<診療内容＞
Our departement brings out your own "power to improve."
All animals have "power to keep themselves in good condition" (homeostatic maintenance power). Whether it's hot in summer or cold in winters, day or night, sea or mountain, you can live a healthy life, and even if you get injured or get sick, you can overcome illness or injury and return to a good condition. It is the power to try.
Human beings have this power, of course, and that helps us stay healthy.
Even if it is not possible to cure it by our own power, the progress of modern medicine is remarkable, and many diseases and injuries that could not be helped in the past can be overcome with the help of medical care.
However, even such wonderful modern medicine cannot be fully effective if the patient's own "curative power" against the disease is weak.
Oriental medicine maximizes your own "healing power (natural healing power)" and "improving power" by grasping the mind and body of a human "as a whole" to find abnormalities and making them achieve their best condition. It is the essence of the treatment to be able to exert it.
If modern medicine alone doesn't work, then our treatment may help.
In addition, because of the characteristic of oriental medicine, "to examine the human body and body as a whole", it can be successfully treated even when "a serious illness is not found, but a painful symptom cannot be taken." .
Taking advantage of these features, our department will organically cooperate with other departments to provide medical care for patients to obtain better quality of life (QOL).

Conditions we handle
Oriental medicine does not cure all diseases. Of course, surgical treatments and acute illnesses are prioritized in Western medicine. However, other medical conditions (functional conditions) that occur in the body and conditions that do not require surgery are also treated by Oriental medicine.
(1) When allergies or constitutions are involved (atopic dermatitis, asthma, hay fever, etc.)
(2) When continuous treatment is difficult due to side effects (chemotherapy or radiation therapy)
(3) When Western medicine treatment does not show a satisfactory effect (infertility, tinnitus, cerebral infarction and sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage)
(4) If there is a complaint even if there is no abnormality in the test (such as coldness, dysmenorrhea, and menopause)
(5) Improving physical strength and energy before and after surgery (when post-operative appetite, feeling and energy do not recover easily)
(6) Elderly people and weak people (improvement of weak constitution by preventing aging symptoms such as improvement of frequent urination and nocturnal urine)
