Okyu - Direct Moxibustion
Learn how to practice and use direct moxa as taught in Japan. We will cover various TaiJi/Taikyoku treatments of Sawada, Fukaya, Dr. Hara and Mizutani as well as use of various bamboo tubes.
Course Overview
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.
Theory and various Bamboo Tubes from Fukaya and Junji Mizutani and treatment protocols.
