Description
One needle has immeasurable hidden potential. And that potential takes on a supernatural quality when a rapport is established between a patient who is determined to get well and a sympathetic therapist. Acupuncture therapy creates a huge amount of energy, eases patients’ pain, and sets them on the road to recovery.
The sensations caused by the needles differ according to patients’ state of health. When they feel warm and forget about their troubles, I know that the needles have done their magic. In this book, I have described patients’ reactions in the form of case histories. I have also endeavored to write about the principles of Eastern medicine in an accessible manner. I hope that readers all over the world will find it comprehensible and useful.
An increasing number of people are suffering from mental and physical discomfort. I have made helping them enhance their inherent healing power my life work. I fully intend to continue my efforts in that direction, deepening my knowledge and honing my skills.
I am convinced that acupuncture therapy can greatly improve the quality of life of patients in hospices and nursing homes. Another of my goals is to increase the availability of the healing art at such institutions.
In closing, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to translator Connie Prener, to Kageyama Kyoko (writer, translator and former missioner to the Metropolitan Japanese Ministry in New York), who introduced me to Connie; to Miyashita SÅzÅ and YÅko, for their illustrations and photographs; to Dr. Maruo for the Foreword, and to the many patients who have inspired and encouraged me over the years.
