A fusion of traditional medicine and modern medicine developed in Kyoto.
We provide mind and body treatments through acupuncture and moxibustion.
Acupuncture BUHO
“BUHO” means “owl” in Spanish.
In Japanese, it can also mean “No Hardships (不苦労)”.
We named it with the hope of easing our patients’ hardships, entrusting this wish to the owl.
We place great importance on relaxing both body and mind first.
Through treatment, we carefully listen to whether your body is tired or tense, paying attention to what it is telling us.
Acupuncture requires proper treatment tailored to each symptom.
Even for similar symptoms, treatment strength and acupoint location are customized for each patient.
Correct body imbalances and relieve stress from the brain using acupuncture and moxibustion.
In addition to the standard acupuncture course, we use specialized techniques focusing on areas of concern such as spots, wrinkles, and sagging.
Please consult us about swelling, dryness, collagen loss, and facial lift-up.
