The Ontake Method uses a piece of bamboo filled with burning moxa wool to roll, tap and lightly press on the meridians. The rhythmic application of heat and pressure, especially on the back, consolidates the pulse and working together with the root treatment, can trigger rapid shifts in patients’ body condition and mood.

In this 2-hour live webinar, you will learn:

1. How to load, light and extinguish Ontake

2. Protocols to augment root Meridian Therapy treatment

3. Protocols for assessing and balancing kyo [deficiency] and jitsu [excess]

4. Integrating Ontake into your branch treatments such as kikei [Extraordinary Vessels].

In addition to the video training and group Q&A, the webinar also comes with worksheets to help you consolidate your learning. Meridian Therapy, Toyohari and Ontake presents a step-by-step guide to acquiring this valuable new moxa skill and you’ll finish feeling more curious, more confident and more effective in your treatments. Presented by Oran Kivity, a Toyohari practitioner with more than twenty years of experience, the teaching format is varied and dynamic, designed to hold the attention of distance learners experiencing Zoom fatigue.

Course Objectives

• Learn the application of Ontake for treating the root, the branch and for pain relief.

• Load, light and extinguish moxa in the bamboo safely, list 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 rolling, tapping, pressing and knocking.
