Moxa In Motion With The Ontake Method: Rhythmic Moxibustion Methods from Japan For Mind-Body Healing / The Ontake Method (ePub)

Is moxibustion too difficult to apply, too risky or too smoky? Discover the effective new moxa method from Japan that gets rapid results - safely.

Moxibustion is ancient. Even more ancient than needling. In modern acupuncture, however, it is often considered too time-consuming or difficult to master. And yet the classics say: for chronic conditions, moxa has no equal.

Coming to the rescue of time-poor, present-day acupuncturists is the Ontake Method from Japan. This innovative technique uses a piece of bamboo filled with burning moxa wool to roll, tap and press on the acupuncture meridians using a metronome programmed to each meridian's frequency. The rhythmic application of heat, frequency and pressure triggers rapid shifts in your patients' body condition and mood but this method generates only a little smoke.

In this book, you will learn:

• Dr Manaka's meridian frequencies and how to apply them
• Branch treatments for symptom relief
• Root treatments for whole-body regulation
• The integration of Dr Tan's holographic models with Ontake for the rapid relief of pain in the neck, back and joints

Moxa in Motion presents a step-by-step guide to clinical practice utilising the Ontake Method. Easily integrated into any style of acupuncture, Shiatsu or Tuina, the Ontake Method will boost your results and build your practice.
