Traditional Japanese Moxibustion (Okyu) Therapy - Course 2
Okyu - Direct Moxibustion
with Paul Movsessian
See In StoreOverview
In this course Paul Movsessian will cover:
Introduction to general use and application of direct moxibustion: Application amount of moxa is based on the constitution of the patient and whether they are dealing with a deficient or excess condition. General Information on Moxibustion used in Direct Moxa and Special Points, History of Direct Moxa in Classical Literature, Case Studies on the use and Explanation of Direct Moxa in Hot Conditions - How Yang Moxa Can Create Yin Fluids, Research Study on Direct Moxa to treat Spleen Qi and Yang Deficiency Fatigue.
Finding the Alive Point for Moxa: In Japan, the concept of living and functioning points is often ascribed to Takeshi Sawada. Points are more than anatomical landmarks; they are manifestations of a functional problem in the body. As such, they are normally dormant, becoming active when a pathological condition begins to form. Point location based solely on anatomical knowledge will be less effective than live assessment.
Making Shiunko Ointment Or Purple Cloud Cream: Shiunko is used with okyu (direct moxa) to both protect the skin and to allow for the moxa to stick to the skin.
Moxa Training Board And Paper For Direct Moxibustion.
Okyu - Direct Moxibustion: Various styles and methods of rolling and using okyu as well as dosage of application.
Taikyoku Treatment Protocol, History and Theory of Takeshi Sawada, Shimetarō Hara, and Isaburo Fukaya.

Moxa in Motion with Ontake Warm Bamboo
Rhythmic Moxibustion Methods from Japan
with Oran Kivity
See In StoreOverview
Moxibustion is ancient. Even more ancient than needling. In modern acupuncture, however, it is often considered too time-consuming, too risky or too difficult to master. And yet the classics say: for chronic conditions, moxa has no equal.
Coming to the rescue of time-poor, risk-averse, present-day acupuncturists is the Ontake Method from Japan. This innovative approach uses a piece of bamboo filled with burning moxa wool to roll, tap and press on the 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 course, you will learn:
(1) Dr Manaka's meridian frequencies and how to apply them
(2) Protocols for symptom relief
(3) Protocols for whole-body regulation
(4) The integration of Dr Tan's holographic models with Ontake for the rapid relief of pain
Presented by Oran Kivity and compered by Michael Max from the Qiological podcast, the format is varied and dynamic, with lectures, PowerPoints, group Q&A sessions and teaching videos. Each lesson is linked to a section in a fifty-page workbook packed with learner-centred quizzes and exercises. Engagingly filmed, produced and edited to hold the attention of distance learners, Moxa in Motion presents a step-by-step guide to utilizing the Ontake Method that will leave you confident in your new skills and more effective in your practice.
Learning Objectives
- Load, light and extinguish moxa in the bamboo safely, list actions and contraindications for Ontake, compare protocols for clinic hygiene.
- Discuss the Japanese concept of skin luster to differentiate deficiency/ excess and how to supplement and drain these reactions with protocols such as standing, rocking, rolling, tapping, pressing, knocking, leaning, vibrating, bouncing and rubbing.
- Draw the tapping protocols for Bamboo Max and Bamboo Mini (to strengthen the body’s healing responses at the root level) on a blank diagram, list routines for branch treatments and point to reflex areas on self using Dr Tan's mappings
- Describe Japanese acupuncture concepts of dosage, identify sensitive patients and remedy overtreatment using Ontake
- Describe Dr Manaka’s Meridian Frequencies, Wooden Needle and Hammer, tapping zones and three areas of application for Ontake for treating the root, branch and for pain relief

Overview
This is a one-hour seminar on moxa. The word for acupuncture in Chinese has both the character for needle and the character for moxa. Although a needle is always considered by Westerners to be in the word we translate as acupuncture, the other half of the word, moxa, was not translated into English. Knowing about moxa is a basic part of the practice of Chinese medicine. The seminar covers moxa’s botanical source, traditional and commercial preparations, how moxa is graded, why there are different types, and multiple forms of application. Emphasis will also be placed be on learning about the art of Japanese cone moxa, (o’kyu) as used in Kiiko Matsumoto Style (KMS) acupuncture. Visuals of the plant, the products, and applications will be shown.
Learning Objectives
- Students will become familiar with the common Japanese application of o’kyu moxa
- Students will gain additional familiarity with the usage of moxa
- Students will learn precautions on various applications of moxa
