TB(Tuberculosis) and moxibustion

I read "North American Journal of Oriental Medicine Nomber 52".
It is really interesting.
I think, Many japanese and japanese acupuncturist is not know about acupuncture treatment and research has been around the world.

In this NAJOM, I have interested in one report.
It's written by Jenny Craig and Merlin Young.
They are organizing Moxafrica.
http://www.moxafrica.org/
I was impressed with their research on TB and moxa.

There was a famous docter in Japan.
Name is Shimetaro Hara(1882-1991).

He has the Moxibustion on rabbits infected with tuberculosis.
Then found out that the resistance increases.
 
I remember this story.
I'm feeling the effects of moxibustion therapy.
 
Promote healing by thermal stimulation.
Improved blood flow.
and,there are anti-radical effect by Moxa essential oil components.
 
I am not a researcher.
However, I can help or teach you.
If you want to study "Moxa treatment", please contact me.
I can go to anywhere .

Hako Kyu

Today, I talk about "Hako Kyu".
"Hako" is the box.
 I use  a wooden box.

It is made ​​by cypress.
Size and  material has no rules.
Some people use the pottery.

If you use wood, cheap is no good.
Because the heat will scorch.
Some people put aluminum foil on the inside.

The wire  net attach to the inside of the box.
I attached a metal rod, and put the net on it.
The height of about 2 cm from the bottom and attach the wire net.
Attaching position is important.

Please to devise in each.

Round the moxa.
It is the size of small meatballs..maybe.

I also made the cover.
so,I can adjust the heat.

Mainly, shoulders, abdomen, pelvis warm.
Sensitivity to cold, lumbago, neuralgia, diarrhea, constipation, menstrual pain, infertility, insomnia,chronic fatigue....
Various effects can be expected.

Many chronic diseases are caused by poor blood flow.
Make improvements in the heat of moxibustion to warm them.
This is not to burn technique.
So , such as young women will like this.

But there is one drawback.
It is...too much smoke!!!!
