| The pulse diagnosis used is based on the 'Hammer style' technique, which is the only true lineage having survived the "Cultural Revolution" without distortion. This pulse system is the most difficult of all pulse techniques to master and gives exact measurement of the body's internal conditions. The custom herbal formulas enable him to treat even the most difficult diseases, thus restoring patients to their optimal levels of health. Once the diseased states have been cured, the Japanese style of acupuncture further enables him to maintain the body’s balance, thus preventing disease from re-occurring. |
