MOXIBUSTION
Not too
different in concept from Acupuncture,
moxibustion is a heat stimulation on the meridian points by burning moxa on the
points, compared to that of metallic stimulation by needles, in acupuncture.
The uniqueness of moxibustion is the heat itself, which can not only be an
effective stimulation of the meridian points, but also warm the local area of
the human body, and the smoke produced by the burning have aromatic effects.
There are many ways to take advantage of this moxibustion therapy, from burning
the moxa on herbs/vegetables where one only feels mild heat sensation, to
completely burning the moxa on the human skin to the point where it causes
minor inflammation. It can therefore be anywhere from warm to very hot!
At ENERGY ROOM, we perform moxibustion mostly in combination with our
acupuncture therapy. Of course,
anybody can also receive moxibustion, upon request, as an additional option to
the Shiatsu-Jutsu therapy. Those
thought to have too much of "cold element" inside, whose stagnation
of the "ki" is accompanied by a stubborn stagnation of the
"blood", and certain conditions that may benefit from the moxibustion
smoke may benefit quite significantly.
Rather than too radical of a moxibution stimulation, we put emphasis on
the "pleasantly warm feelings" and "hot but good
sensations"
