ONTAKE MOXIBUSTION LEVEL 1 (PORTUGAL)

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 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.

This course is a dynamic mixture of theory and practice. You will learn:

• The Ontake Method – Rhythmic moxibustion methods from Japan
• Dr Manaka’s meridian frequencies
• Ontake 1 2 3 – Adapting Dr Tan’s holographic system to Ontake
• Palpation skills
• Clinical applications, indications and dosage

These methods and techniques can be integrated into any kind of meridian-based bodywork method, including acupuncture, shiatsu and tuina.
