Amatsu medicine clinics now exist in Ireland, England, The Canary Islands, Austria, Spain, and other European countries.
The Godai
According to the Godai, health can only exist when there is a balance between our Physical (Musculo-Skeletal System), Emotional (Mind), Nutritional intake and excretion (Food), Energy (Ki/Qi Life force) and our interaction within our environment.
In Amatsu medicine it is important to balance the Godai of the person, rather than the condition, which is a manifestation of the person's loss of balance. For example any physical injury places greater demands on the nutrition on the person.
General Principles of Health
Amatsu recognises that there are a number of indicators which occur naturally and which give tell-tale signs that the Godai are out of balance. Some of these, such as pain, serve as signs that something is wrong within our bodies. Pain is a signal within our central nervous system that tells us that something has gone wrong. Prior to the sensation of pain we normally experience loss of normal function. The pain signal can be referred to almost anywhere, for example, organ dysfunction can be referred to the muscles and joints of the body - heart to chest and left arm, gall bladder to left shoulder, liver to neck, eyes and upper back etc.
Treating pain with painkillers and an anti-inflammatory agent does not always correct the causative factors and often overloads the liver, which is already overworked dealing with environmental factors such as pollution, TV, computers etc.
Obviously all pain should be investigated to ascertain its true nature and exclude pathological causes first. Once these are ruled out a good diet, musculo-skeletal correction, energy (meridian) balancing, relaxation training and gentle exercise can help to maintain balance and alleviate painful conditions.
In Amatsu clinics we treat the underlying causes, balance the natural factors or Godai and alleviate pain by natural methods. As Professor Hatsumi says "If you were outside on a cold day and felt the pain from the cold, only a stupid person would take a pain killer, sensible people go indoors and get warm!"
