Treatments we offer
Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a heat therapy in which an ultra pure moxa herb (mugwort) in burnt on an acupuncture point, or on the top of a needle, or inside a bamboo tube (Ontake). One of the main benefits of moxibustion is that it rapidly moves Qi and Blood.
If you are interested in how the ultra pure moxa wool is produced in Japan please read here.
Japanese moxibustion technique involves forming small cones out of loose moxa wool, placing them on the skin or at the needle insertion site and lighting them. In all cases a red burn cream (Shiunko) is used to protect the skin.
Ontake (on-ta-key) warm bamboo treatment is a Japanese indirect moxibustion technique with the application of pressure and rhythm. The Ontake moxibustion can be a complementary to acupuncture, or can be a stand alone treatment . At the clinic we offer whole-body Ontake moxibustion – a strong tonic treatment with the aim to increase energy, relax tight muscles, relieve stress, and harmonize digestion.
Other treatments
Other modalities offered at the clinic include wet cupping, gua sha and auricular therapy.
