We just had to share!

I would like to inform you that I will be traveling to Japan for the first time in 5 years for the next 3 weeks, which means Cozy Acupuncture will be temporarily closed.

My last day in the clinic will be October 18th, and we'll resume our regular schedule on November 15th.

I appreciate your understanding during this time and look forward to welcoming you back with refreshed energy and new insights from my trip!

Our latest news

It is getting warmer! You don't need to wear a down jacket any more?

Spring is the season of Liver energy.

Liver energy tries to go outside from the body, but the body is not completely open yet due to a bit of coldness, and stagnated Liver energy causes irritation, headache, dizziness, gynecological symptoms, etc.

To help the smooth flow of Liver energy, it is good to do light exercises like walking, and to detox the toxins accumulated in our body during the winter.

Eating seasonal green vegetables and sour foods help Liver energy.

I also want to share a scary side-effect of a medication below.

If you are taking Statins....

I often ask my patients to check the side-effects of the medications they are taking because their symptoms can be caused by the side-effects. Common side-effects are headache, dizziness, nausea, stomachache, etc.

I want to share a side-effect of a medication that I heard and was very surprised at.

Statins are known as medications to lower the level of LDL or so-called "bad" cholesterol. If your are diagnosed as high cholesterol, Statins are the most commonly prescribed medications.

One of Statins' side-effects is muscle breaking down. If you need to stop walking and sit down for a while, that can be caused by the side effect.

When you have spinal stenosis, you also need to stop walking, but you can walk again after bending over and supplying blood to the nerve, no need to sit down because your legs have strength since there is no muscle breaking down.

If your urine is reddish, substance of melting muscle is in urine. That also can cause kidney failure.

If you are taking Statins and severe muscle related health issues, it is recommended to consider the side-effect and consult your doctor.

As a small token of our appreciation, below is a reward that can be used during your next visit. Hope you enjoy it!

Thank you for reading this newsletter.

Updates at Cozy Acupuncture

I`m informing the change of business days and treatment fees as follows.

From June 2023, we will be open on Sundays, Mondays and Fridays, 8 am to 7 pm.

I had been helping my acupuncture teacher’s clinic in Watertown (Culia Ki Clinic (http://culia.net/) ) once a week since the beginning of this year, but he had medical complications (Heart failure and retention of water in lungs) and he was hospitalized in March. I increased one more day to cover up his absence from the end of March, but he decided to retire and go back to Japan much earlier than he had planned, and I was asked to take care of the clinic. I refused his offer at the beginning because I had my own clinic, but if I didn’t take the offer, it would be hard to operate the clinic with other staff, so I decided to move to Watertown and take care of the clinic. I’m still coming to my clinic on Sunday, Monday and Friday, so if these days are still convenient for you to visit my clinic, I appreciate your continuing use of my services.

The treatment fees will be as bellow from June 1, 2023.

Services Present 6/1/2023

Initial Consultation 20 30
Acupuncture 18+ 70 75
Acupuncture 70+ 70 70
Acupuncture (14-17) 55 55
Acupuncture (11-13) 55. 40
Pediatric (0-10) 30 30
Facial Rejuvenation 85 90

There will be 4 treatment package (5 % off) and 8 treatment package (10 % off) instead of the present 6 treatment Package (10 % off). Flex account that can be used within your family is Flex 600, which is worth $600 and can be purchased with $540 (10 % off).

Some of the treatment fees will go up, but I will try my best to provide the services worth more than the fees.

I would appreciate your understanding and continuous use of my services.

Our latest news

We have recently experienced extreme cold 2 days. I think some of you had the same problem, but the furnace at my home stopped working and some of the pipes bursted and water spread everywhere. I'm staying a hotel until the problems are fixed.

From January 2023, Thursdays are closed in my clinic because I need to work for another clinic, which is my teacher's clinic. Sorry for the inconvenience to the people who frequently come to my clinic on Thursdays.

My acupuncture treatment is mainly remove tender points with the finger pressure, but recently I started a kind of gentle massage around the neck to remove the tender points before putting needles, and it seems like working very well. We call it Finger Needle!

This time I want to share Hand Therapy to improve frequent urination at night. I think a lot of people whose age are more than 50 have this problem and sleeping quality is disturbed. If you have such problems, please try. I tried and felt the effect that is why I'm sharing this method.

Hand Therapy to Improve Frequent Urination at Night

I think there are a lot of people who wake up for urination if you are more than 50s. If you wake up only once for urination and can go back to sleep easily, there is not much problems. But if you wake up frequently for urination, your sleep is disturbed and you should not feel rested when you get up in the morning.

If you are one of them, please try the following Hand Therapy. Where you need to press is 3 points on your hand.

Why I want to share this hand therapy is I tried and definitely I felt the effect.

If you are suffering from waking up for urination, please try by clicking Learn More.

Our latest news

5 months has already passed since the clinic moved to the new location.
This is a newsletter since then.

I heard that the number of people visiting Salem this October was highest ever, but Fortunately the clinic didn't have any problems that the patients couldn't find a parking spot.

Thanksgiving was over and it's getting noticeably cold. I think there are a lot of people who ate too much and unfortunately gained weight during Thanksgiving holidays. If you are one of such people or you want to eat a lot more during the holiday season, please try the method shared below. The point is improving blood flow.

Let's Lose Weight by Improving Your Blood Flow!

Blood flow is deeply related to obesity.


Q. If the location of “Something” in the body falls, it is difficult to lose weight due to bad blood circulation. What is “Something”?

A. The stomach and intestines

If you have bad posture, the muscle of your lower abdomen becomes weak and can’t hold the stomach and intestines, and the stomach and intestines fall. The pressure makes the performance of the organs bad, causing indigestion or bad blood circulation. As a result, it makes difficult to lose weight. (Fig. 1 & 2)


1. Put back the location of the stomach and intestines

2. Activate the pump function of the calf
When the weakness of the calf muscle causes the pump function becomes weak, the blood in the feet can’t be circulated, causing the intolerance to the cold

3. Deepen the breath:
Deep breathing moves the diaphragm well, blood circulation is improved and losing weight becomes easier.

[Self-Care] Exercise to loosen tight hamstrings

05/29/2022

Our latest news

It seems like masks are not required anymore anywhere you go, but I heard that still around 30 people in Salem were infected with COVID everyday. I wear a mask because I need to work around your face, but if you feel secure by wearing a mask, please wear a mask when you visit my clinic.

This time I want to introduce 2 exercises. One is an exercise to loosen your hamstrings. It is difficult to loosen hamstrings with normal stretching because it is important to do stretching and shrinking at the same to loosen the muscle. It sounds difficult but the exercise is very easy and effective.

Another is an exercise to loosen your groin. I often see patients whose knee doesn't bend more than 90 degrees when they lie on their stomach. That is not the problem of their knee but the muscle in the groin, the iliac muscle is tight. This exercise is also very easy, so please try.

[Self-Care 1] Exercise to loosen tight hamstrings

This exercise loosens your hamstrings. It only takes 30 seconds for both of your hamstrings and you can feel your hamstring gets looser right after the exercise. If you feel tight in your hamstrings, please click SELF-CARE 1.

[Self-Care 2] Exercise to loosen tight groin

If you feel pain or tightness in the front side of the hip joint, this exercise is good for you. This exercise is to loosen the iliac muscle, which connects from the the inside of the pelvis to the inside of the hip joint. The important point of this exercise is to do it slowly because if you do it quickly, other muscles are used and it doesn't loosen the iliac muscle. When you lie on your stomach and bend your knee, if it is very tight, that is the tightness of the iliac muscle. Please try this exercise by clicking SELF-CARE 2.
