Japanese Acupuncture, Treatment

The Treatment goals of the Kiiko Style are two fold:

• The treatment of the root, or underlying condition
• The alleviation of symptoms, or the branch expression of this underlying root imbalance

No matter what symptoms a person may present with, there is always an underlying condition that forms the foundation for imbalance within the body. This root challenge hinders an individual from being in the best possible health and may be due to different reasons, including:

• Structural imbalances
• Metabolic imbalances
• Hormonal imbalance
• Energetic imbalances
• Emotional imbalances
• Spiritual imbalances

Often times, it is a combination.

Treating this root cause not only addresses why a person is experiencing symptoms, but begins to address the symptoms themselves. This root cause is determined through the palpatory evaluation of reflection zones.

Though it is very important to address the root cause, treatment of the branch expression is equally necessary. While treatment of the root does address symptoms, often times specific focus is needed to fully address symptomatic expressions of root imbalances. This is the branch, or local treatment. Again, it is achieved through the use of reflection zones.
