JAPANESE MEDICINAL THERAPIES
RIRAKU offers Japanese medicinal therapies based on the five elements, in ascending order of power, of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind and Sky.

Acupuncture is deisgned to stimulate circulation through various points on the body and induce a smoother flow of blood and qi. Moxibustion is an oriental medicinal therapy that uses the moxa, or mugwort, herb.

The needles used in Japanese medicinal therapies are not painful. Unlike injection needles, they do not have hollow space inside for fluid. You may feel an itching, tingling or distending sensation, but you are bound to drift off to sleep very soon after the needles are inserted.
