About Shizendo Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine in Bend, Oregon

What is “Shizendo” ? 

It is spelled 自然堂 in Chinese characters, and is pronounced “Shizendo” in my native Japanese (or sometimes “Jinendou”) and “zì rán táng” in Chinese. Shizen (自然) means 'nature' or 'natural'. Do (堂) means “hall”. Thus Shizendo can be translated as 'Hall of Nature'. Shizendo was the name of my grandfather’s acupuncture clinic in Japan, where he started his practice in the 1940’s. My grandfather granted permission to use the same name for my practice here in the USA to continue the tradition in the West. 

Shizendo’s philosophy

Our philosophy and clinical approach is deeply rooted in the Nature and its Way 'Dao' (道). We honor natural rhythms and patterns of all living and non-living matters of this universe. We excel in utilizing clinical applications of the natural law or the Way of the Nature by honoring and enhancing our inherent natural healing intelligence and mechanism we are all born with.
