Acupuncture
Emotions, hormones, pain—
all are part of the same quiet flow within.
Acupuncture gently supports
that flow, bringing balance from the inside out.
Eastern medicine looks not only at symptoms, but at flow.To gently align the whole person, here and now.
How different Japanese acupuncture and Chinese acupuncture?
Acupuncture originated in China and later made its way to Japan, where it evolved in harmony with
local culture and sensibilities.Over time, the two traditions have taken on distinct styles, each with
its own beauty.
Chinese acupuncture often uses stronger stimulation to move stagnation and restore balance within the
body.It takes a powerful, energetic approach, working through meridians and acupoints to address
blockages and imbalances.
Japanese acupuncture, by contrast, is known for its gentleness and precision.It uses ultra-fine
needles, often inserted very shallowly—or simply touched to the skin—to softly reach deeper levels of
the body.Diagnosis through touch, such as pulse or abdominal palpation, is also an important part of
the Japanese approach, creating a treatment that feels more like listening than correcting.
At Te Taira, we offer a treatment style rooted in Japanese acupuncture—quiet, subtle, and deeply
calming.It’s especially well-suited for those who are sensitive to strong stimulation, or simply
seeking a gentle way to restore balance.
