A discussion of heat-sensing and direct moxa

Description

NAJOM (2015), Menjyo Yuki.

Abstract

In the moxa technique known as chinetsukyu, the practitioner removes the burning moxa cone as soon as the recipient feels heat: this heat stimulates the sensory and autnomic nervous systems. Conversely, with direct moxibustion, the burning moxa cone remains in place until it burns itself out; in other words, even after the recipient feels the burning sensation.
