The Ampukuterapia technique, from Traditional Japanese Medicine, is a massage with continuous, firm, soft and at the same time deep touch at the Hara (abdomen region) for the assessment and treatment of energy imbalances that affect humans. All internal organs are represented in this microsystem.

Hara is considered the center of vital energy   (Ki or Chi). Every flow of vital energy that, according to oriental medicine circulates through the body, starts at Hara and then is distributed by the meridians. In Hara, we find several internal organs, such as the digestive system, the reproductive and sexual organs. On an emotional level, these internal organs receive much of the toxic energy generated by internal blockages, which can affect the root causes of disease.

The evaluation is done through palpation, with specific pressures following a certain sequence. The treatment aims to balance the blocked energies in the hara region, which reflect in all organs. The therapist continues to feel the organs in a specific sequence, observing irregularities and applying clearing maneuvers. The evaluation of Ampuku abdominal massage is based on tactile and visual diagnosis. When we find local tension, such as stiffness, swelling, flushing, excessive heat, in the areas connected to Organs internal organs, we assume an excess of energy.

A muscular contracture, for example, can originate from energy accumulation. Still, in the case mentioned above, we can find an accelerated abdominal artery pulse. This condition can lead to symptoms such as high blood pressure, gastritis and anxiety.

When we observe sagging, cold, pallor, slow beat of the abdominal artery. When deficient, the energy will manifest, leaving the feet and hands cold, slow digestion we identify deficiency of vital energy.

The intention of this treatment is not only to treat pain, but also to help the person in modifying bad habits and behavioral patterns that lead to discomfort and illness, helping to stabilize the functioning of the digestive system, harmonizing symptoms, such as: constipation , irritable colon, gastritis, etc; improving dysfunctions of the respiratory system, such as: asthma and shortness of breath. It is also very effective for headaches and migraines, rheumatic diseases, etc.

True health promotion occurs from the inside out when the individual understands that he needs to take care of himself, to love himself, that everything is interconnected and depends on his reflection and acceptance of internal conflicts, which rise to the surface of consciousness, bringing to light the understanding for change.
