Hello everyone!
Today, I'd like to share the moving story of Ms.Yamada (pseudonym), who overcame years of troubles and regained a heartfelt smile.
Ms. Yamada is a lovely 51-year-old woman.
She's always cheerful, a ray of sunshine that energizes those around her.
When I first met her, she greeted me with a warm smile, and I was immediately drawn to her kind aura.
However, behind that smile, she had been carrying years of painful troubles.
Ms. Yamada's main concern was severe migraines.
And during this season, her hay fever was also terrible, which seemed to really bother her.
"My head throbs, and there are days when I can't concentrate on anything..."
Ms. Yamada's voice sounded a little tired.
During the consultation, I learned that Ms. Yamada often stayed up late and had trouble waking up in the morning.
She also mentioned that she tended to have low blood pressure and didn't really enjoy exercising.
"On cold or hot days, I find it troublesome to go out..."
Ms. Yamada said, smiling apologetically, which left an impression on me.
Actually, I suspected that the root cause of Ms. Yamada's migraines might be "teeth grinding."
So, in addition to the usual 60-minute massage, I focused on head massage and massaging the jaw area.
Ms. Yamada had been a regular client for a long time, but this session was her first time trying acupuncture.
When she first came, her main concern was headaches.
During the treatment, Ms. Yamada was a bit sensitive to the acupuncture needles, but she didn't feel the warmth of the moxibustion very much.
I wondered if she was feeling cold.
After the treatment, Ms. Yamada said, "My stomach is gurgling!" looking a bit surprised.
Up to this point, it was a typical treatment session.
However, what happened next was unexpected.
As Ms. Yamada was talking about herself, she suddenly burst into tears.
"So many things have piled up, and I feel overwhelmed..."
Ms. Yamada said, revealing various thoughts that she had never shared with anyone before.
My heart ached, but I encouraged Ms. Yamada to continue talking.
Ms. Yamada always seemed cheerful and energetic, but I felt that she was pushing herself and trying too hard.
"I always prepare even small gifts for my family's birthdays,"
Ms. Yamada said, which I found truly admirable.
She even uses our salon's birthday discount every year.
It makes me really happy.
Although she mentioned that she didn't really like exercising, she enjoys finding unique sweets at department store events.
"Those sweets were really delicious!"
I've been to some of the shops that Ms. Yamada recommended, and they were all delicious.
I believe that the cause of Ms. Yamada's stress is not a specific person, but rather her tendency to always hold back in her relationships with others.
Staying up late and not exercising might be okay for some people, but I think Ms. Yamada is overly concerned about these things.
Ms. Yamada sometimes touches her bangs or wipes her palms, which might be signs of anxiety or impatience.
Although she always smiles, I feel that she has difficulty expressing her true emotions.
This time, Ms. Yamada's tears seemed to release something that had been bottled up inside her.
After talking, her complexion looked much better than usual.
I think she really felt better.
Through this treatment, I was reminded once again that physical tension and discomfort can stem from deep within the heart.
