Toyohari is a form of Keiraku Chiryo or Japanese Meridian Therapy. Keiraku Chiryo developed in the 1920s and 1930s. Toyohari, a refinement of this, was developed by blind acupuncturists from the late 1950s. In the Toyohari "school", pulse and palpation diagnosis and non-inserted needling techniques have been developed to a very high art. Like other forms of keiraku chiryo, Toyohari is not a theoretical edifice, it is instead a very clinical approach to acupuncture practice, where each theory that is utilised is tested and validated in intensive clinical practice and training. The Toyohari association has developed special study groups of advanced practitioners that continuously review and test old and new methods and ideas to help identify what they find works best.

Toyohari focuses on strengthening the vitality and thus ability to recover while correcting imbalances of the meridian system (deficiency/excess). Treatment is applied systematically in a number of distinct steps based on an initial assessment and then through continuous monitoring and double checking via touch and pulse diagnosis.

This workshop will be taught by one of the three most senior instructors outside Japan and assisted by two US Toyohari instructors. The workshop will introduce and demonstrate the core aspects of the diagnosis and treatment methods used in Toyohari. The workshop will use lecture, demonstration and practice format. Practice sessions will allow participants to gain some experience of this sophisticated system.

While it will not be possible to practice this system after this weekend, participants will have a good idea about one of Japan’s most sophisticated acupuncture treatment systems and will be in a position to decide if they want to pursue a program of study in Toyohari
