Tomo Murayama's clinic is surrounded by the mountains of the Japanese Alps. In the Japanese-style clinic room, the sound of a suikinkutsu (water fountain) echoes. In such a special space, why don't you take a medical care treatment based on Oriental perspective and improve the balance of your body and mind?

Tomo is an acupuncturist and moxibustion therapist with over 7 years of experience. Acupuncture and moxibustion therapists, who are nationally certified, use acupuncture and moxibustion to provide medical care. It is a painless treatment. The tip of the needle is rounded and touches the skin, softly stimulating it. This is because Tomo's approach is not to cure the affected area, but to stimulate the skin softly, thereby smoothing the flow of blood and breath and enhancing the body's own healing power. This is medical care based on Oriental perspective.

Tomo was in very poor health as a child, and her mother was even told by a doctor that Tomo would not live long. But she wanted to recover her health condition on her own, rather than using medicine to heal her body. She learned about medical treatments based on Oriental perspective, such as Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, and moxibustion.

“As I studied Oriental style medical care, I learned that our bodies and minds are connected to nature and the universe. Our bodies and minds are connected to nature and the universe, right? The human body is the 'microcosm' and all natural phenomena is the 'macrocosm,'" says Tomo.

Through her work experience at the clinic, she opened her own clinic in 2020. On the clinic wall hangs a calendar named “Heliocompass (the Earth Calendar).” Based on the idea that "time is inside the human body," this calendar connects the constellations and calendars to the human body.

Tomo says,“Our body and mind are connected and constitute one living organism. We have the power to recover from illness. We, the life force, are enhanced by being in harmony with nature and the universe.”

The skin is said to be the largest organ of the human body. By gently touching your skin with acupuncture and moxibustion and smoothing the flow of blood and breath, your body and mind will be more easily in harmony with nature and the universe. Tomo’s treatment will give you the opportunity to revitalize your life.
