When your gut is at ease,
your day is at ease

This varies by symptoms, constitution, and how long the condition has lasted, but we typically review your progress and adjust the prescription every 2 to 4 weeks. If symptoms are recent and mild, improvement is often seen within about a month; if the condition is long-standing or severe, steady treatment for 3 to 6 months or more may be needed. At your first visit, we will explain the expected treatment duration in detail.

The gastrointestinal function test requires an advance reservation, and you must fast for at least 4 hours before your visit. The test takes about 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes, so please book with enough time to spare.

Treatments covered by national health insurance, such as acupuncture, moxibustion, and cupping, are generally eligible for private supplemental insurance reimbursement, but non-covered treatments like herbal medicine often are not. Since coverage details vary by policy, it is most accurate to check directly with your own insurance company.

The first-visit consultation alone, including specialized digestive diagnostics such as interview, pulse, and abdominal diagnosis, can take 30 minutes or more, and if treatment is done on the same visit it may take 1.5 to 2 hours in total. Please allow yourself plenty of time when visiting.

First visits take longer, so some waiting may occur; we recommend booking in advance for a more relaxed, unhurried visit. You can easily make a reservation by phone or through the website inquiry form.

For an accurate diagnosis, your first visit must be in person, including interview, pulse, and abdominal diagnosis, before a prescription can be issued. From your follow-up visits onward, once progress has been established, prescriptions can be issued through phone consultation alone.
