Guest guest Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 I like using an especially old tradition of hot, hot water with a few different sizes and thicknesses of washcloth. You can dab points with a cloth-covered fingertip or twirled point; stroke channels, tendons or ligaments; and slap a smooth-folded or full expanse over broader areas. Best to work quickly, and be careful with the eyelids or any neuropathy. You can do tui1 na2 yao2 push-hold-rocking over hot or cool flat cloths, and get qi, blood and fluids really moving. Long ago, I learned a lot from a book called Water Therapy by Dianne Buchanan (poultices, tepid sitz baths, and the universal sponging methods that I now prefer by far over all the fancy moxa techniques). Gets me up in the morning, anyway. Joe Yisheng Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I have recently started using smokeless kyutoshin/needle moxa. They aren't cheap but they burn very evenly and not too hot. They last for about 7 minutes. So far I am impressed with them. I know some people aren't big fans of smokeless moxa, but I find these a good option/compromise.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Adam, Where did you get them? Do you have to make the little roll or is it ready made? Mike L.
