Moxibustion-The Japanese style of Acupuncture

Moxibustion is also called Fire Therapy or the Japanese style of Acupuncture. In this method, the treatment is done by exciting the affected acupuncture points  by applying required amount of heat.

In this method heat is applied at the acupuncture points. This method had been prevalent for a long time in countries like China, Japan and Korea. Basically, this is Japanese acupuncture. Sun us worshiped in Japan and it is the source of all energy and heat. As such, the Japanese people believe that acupuncture would be more effective if heat is used at the acupuncture points. The Japanese name for this method is 'MO Gu Sa'.

Fire therapy is generally used to treat diseases that are the result of excess of negative energy which is known as Yin.

This method is used to cure diseases which are not amenable to treatment by ordinary acupuncture, such as-bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis, chronic diarrhea, paralysis and arthritis.

In this method the concerned acupuncture point is directly or indirectly excited by applying heat in the required measure.
