The herbal pharmacy 'REMEDY CAVE' in Omotesando introduces acupuncture to its pink salt 'cave'.
Operating under the concept of 'three adjustments'—external (finishing adjustments, skincare), internal (rhythm adjustments, herbal medicine), and habits (adjustments for tranquility)—'REMEDY CAVE' (Apex Commerce Co., Ltd. / Head Office: Toyama City, Toyama Prefecture / Representative: Shoko Shojyu) has renovated its indoor pink salt 'cave' into a space for acupuncture treatments by licensed practitioners (acupuncturists and moxibustion therapists) six months after its opening in Omotesando in December 2025. In this tranquil space surrounded by rock salt, you can receive acupuncture as the main treatment, with options for reflexology and facial treatments. This addition of acupuncture, alongside herbal medicine, as an Eastern therapeutic technique, deepens the company's commitment to long-term care for each member.

The pink salt 'cave' has been transformed into an acupuncture treatment space, 'CAVE Acupuncture at REMEDY CAVE'. This unique combination allows you to receive acupuncture, reflexology, and facial treatments in a salt cave, exclusive to REMEDY CAVE.
◆ The 'three adjustments'—skincare (external) and herbal medicine (internal) guided towards the right direction by the habit of tranquility—now include acupuncture, an Eastern therapeutic technique. This approach combines herbal medicine and acupuncture for long-term companionship.
◆ Acupuncture treatments are performed by licensed acupuncturists and moxibustion therapists. Herbal medicine is handled under a pharmacy sales license (pharmacy sales manager: Reina Nishizaki, pharmacist) ※.
◆ The markets for acupuncture, relaxation, and herbal medicine are expanding. In an information-overloaded era, this responds to women's self-care needs for 'tranquility' and 'long-term companionship'.
※ Acupuncture treatments aim to improve your condition but do not guarantee the treatment or effects of specific illnesses. We ask you to fill out a treatment confirmation consent form before the treatment.
■ Why Acupuncture Now? — Market Background
Busy modern people face daily 'fluctuations' such as dry skin and throat, shallow sleep, and unspoken mental heaviness. Piling up information doesn't lead to answers, and the search for the next 'correct answer' continues. REMEDY CAVE was born as a place to quietly align the external (skin) and internal (circulation and breathing) aspects in response to such fluctuations.
Behind this is the growing interest in Eastern techniques and natural care.
The market for acupuncture and other treatments is expanding. According to a survey by the Yano Research Institute, the market for chiropractic, acupuncture, and massage (all involving medical-like practices by licensed practitioners) was estimated to have grown by 3.0% year-on-year to approximately 985 billion yen in 2023.
The relaxation market is also stable. According to a survey by Hot Pepper Beauty Academy, the relaxation market size in 2025 is expected to grow by 3.4% year-on-year to 379.8 billion yen, with the women's market accounting for 202.9 billion yen.
Herbal medicine is becoming the mainstay of women's self-care. According to a release by Kracie Pharmaceutical, the affinity between herbal medicine and women's unique concerns such as PMS, menstruation, and menopause has led to an average annual growth of 11.7% in herbal prescriptions for women, with users expanding to the younger generation in their 20s and 30s.
Amidst these trends, REMEDY CAVE offers acupuncture, another pillar of Eastern medicine, integrated with the tranquility of a salt cave, in addition to herbal medicine (internal) and skincare (external).
■ What is 'CAVE Acupuncture at REMEDY CAVE'?
The 'cave' at the back of the store, with walls and floors covered in pink salt. This space, wrapped in soft diffused light, has been officially named 'CAVE Acupuncture at REMEDY CAVE' and reborn as a space where acupuncturists who have passed rigorous interviews seriously address customers' concerns.
In the dry and soft air environment surrounded by rock salt, your thoughts quiet down, and your breathing returns to its natural rhythm. Halotherapy (space experience using salt) is widely loved in the West as a complementary wellness habit. In this tranquil space, you can now experience acupuncture, reflexology, and facial treatments.
Note: Halotherapy is an experience of 'lowering the volume of your thoughts'. The space for acupuncture treatment is a halotherapy space, but the pink salt rock itself is not a medical practice.
■ Deepening the 'Three Adjustments' — The Combination of Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture
REMEDY CAVE has been addressing each individual under three layers: external (finishing adjustments, skincare), internal (rhythm adjustments, herbal medicine), and habits (adjustments for tranquility). This time, acupuncture has been added to habits.
Both herbal medicine and acupuncture are forms of care rooted in the insights of traditional Chinese medicine. REMEDY CAVE aims to combine these two, under the counseling of experts (Contour Adjustment Specialists™), to accompany each member in the long term.
※ Herbal medicines are handled under a pharmacy sales license. We provide recommendations based on your condition and constitution, but we do not guarantee specific effects.
