Oshita Internal Medicine Clinic
About
Ooshita Internal Medicine, operated by a medical corporation, is a community clinic specializing in internal medicine, located in Katayama Midori-cho, Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. One of its defining features is its expertise in both modern Western medicine and traditional Kampo (Chinese herbal) medicine. While Western medicine targets treatment based on specific diagnoses and organs, Kampo medicine views the mind and body as an integrated whole, comprehensively assessing each patient's constitution and condition. By combining the knowledge of both medical traditions, the clinic is well-equipped to address chronic conditions that are difficult to pinpoint and health concerns at the stage of 'pre-illness' (mibyou). Consultations are available from 8:30 to 12:30 in the morning and from 14:00 to 18:00 in the afternoon, six days a week, excluding Sundays and public holidays. The facility offers on-site parking and is fully barrier-free, ensuring a comfortable and accessible environment for patients with physical disabilities and elderly individuals. English-language consultations are also available, accommodating those who may have concerns about communicating in Japanese. From the diagnosis and treatment of internal medical conditions to constitution improvement through Kampo therapy, this clinic contributes to the local healthcare of Shimonoseki by addressing a wide range of health needs.
