 Toyohari - Meridian Therapy Toyohari is a school of Japanese Meridian Therapy. It is a theoretically simple but technically sophisticated system of acupuncture differing from other acupuncture styles with an emphasis on palpation skills, pulse diagnosis and use of delicate needle techniques.

Evolving out of earlier developments in Meridian Therapy in the 1930's and 1940's in Tokyo, the Toyohari Association was founded by Kodo Fukushima in 1959 to support blind practitioners to study and practice. Since then, the Toyohari Association has refined unique diagnostic and treatment techniques, developed subtle and effective needle techniques, delivered a structured postgraduate educational programme and later introduced sighted students.

The New Zealand Branch is pleased to announce a Foundation Toyohari training in Wellington from August 2021. Graduation from the 120-hour (20 day) programme entitles the graduate to join the Toyohari Association and become a Registered Toyohari Practitioner.

The principle purpose of the branches is to foster and improve clinical skills by providing ongoing study opportunities both in local study groups and workshops with senior instructors in Japan, Australasia, Europe and USA.

What you will Learn

Diagnosis

Diagnosis is based on five phase theory using looking, listening/smelling, questioning and touching. Palpation is highly developed including meridian and abdominal Hara palpation with confirmation via pulse diagnosis applying middle pulse quality and comparative 6 position assessment.

Kozato Method

This is a unique group study method pioneered by Kosato-sensei the first Toyohari vice president. By using specific feedback, it is able to accelerate needling techniques, point location and pulse taking skills.

Treatment Techniques

Many of the needle techniques for Root treatment require either contact or very superficial insertion and are based on profound study of the Ling Shu and Nan Jing Classics. The symptoms can also be addressed directly using a range of branch techniques including Extra-vessels, Moxa techniques, Micro-bleeding, Midday-midnight theory, Cupping, press tacks or intra-dermal needles.

 

Graduates consistently improve their pulse and palpatory skills and enhance their Qi sensitivity throughout the foundation training. Skills can be further enhanced by attendance at Association workshops with local and international teachers.
