"The softest thing in the universe overcomes the hardest thing in the universe" Lao Tzu, Tao Te Jing

Kotan, meaning 'elegant simplicity', is symbolic of the artful form of Japanese acupuncture. Kotan Clinic aims to help clients harness their inherent healing power through Japanese Acupuncture.

Japanese Acupuncture is a holistic medicine based on the elegant foundations of Taoism. It actively defines the world through Yin and Yang, as well as through its relationship with the Five Elements.

Japanese Acupuncture is a gentle practice because of the use of extra fine needles and specialized techniques. These have been developed to minimize any discomfort.

The beauty of acupuncture is that treatments address both the symptoms and the underlying cause of illness. These are called 'root' and 'branch' treatments, respectively. Root treatments attend to the clients unique energetic make up whilst branch treatment affect the symptoms.

This complete approach is central in defining acupuncture as a holistic medicine. By looking at the overall picture of how a person lives, how they work, their emotional state and what foods they eat, a health assessment is fashioned and a treatment strategy formed.
