The International Medical Spa Institute (IMSI), located in Shibuya, Tokyo (https://www.imsi.co.jp), aims to realize a society where each individual can care for themselves and their loved ones by spreading education that allows people to systematically learn natural therapy, phytotherapy, and touching.
## Background to Realizing the Dream
In modern society, situations where people easily lose their physical and mental balance due to stress and environmental changes are continuing. On the other hand, it cannot yet be said that there are sufficient opportunities to learn the knowledge to care for oneself and family on a daily basis.
For about 30 years, IMSI has been working on training therapists and popularizing a culture of self-care through natural therapy education as an accredited school of the British IFPA (International Federation of Professional Aromatherapists).
In busy daily lives, we think that one's own matters are sometimes put off until later.
You might feel that your fatigue does not go away even though you are trying hard, or you might feel restless. You don't know what to do, although it's not enough to consult someone.
Many people probably have moments when they feel that way.
Through interacting with many people who come to learn, we have seen many scenes where knowing "care that can be done by oneself" leads to peace of mind.
- Touching scents.
- Touching gently.
- Directing awareness to one's own state.
Small care that can be done in daily life, rather than special things, sometimes leads to comfort.
Adjusting oneself also leads to taking care of someone.
IMSI hopes that through the option of natural therapy, the number of people who can care for themselves and those close to them will increase.
The accumulation of that is
a future where natural therapy becomes social infrastructure.
