Dear Members,
This is a reminder for our upcoming exclusive seminar scheduled for May. Please find the details below:
Seminar : ONTAKE MOXIBUSTION 101
Title: ONTAKE MOXIBUSTION 101
Date: May 26th (Sunday)
Time: 4:00pm-7:00pm PST Time
Speaker: Oran Kivity
Language: English
Method: Zoom
Abstract:
Is moxibustion too difficult to apply, too risky, or too smoky? Discover the effective new moxa method from Japan that will give you rapid results – safely.
Ontake is a contemporary moxibustion tool from Japan. A piece of bamboo is filled with burning moxa wool which is then rolled, tapped, and pressed on the meridians. The rhythmic application of heat and pressure triggers rapid shifts in your patients’ body condition and mood.
The Ontake Method is a conceptual framework for applying Ontake developed by British acupuncturist Oran Kivity. It integrates ideas from Japanese acupuncture regarding channel palpation and deficiency excess, holographic mappings, and Dr Manaka’s meridian frequencies: applying stimulation to the body in time to a metronome. When applied with these ideas, Ontake can transform your practice, relaxing the muscles, relieving pain and calming the mind within minutes.
OBJECTIVES
After attending the webinar, participants of the webinar will be able to:
• Describe the origins of Ontake in the 1960s and list three main spheres of application: root, branch, adjunctive treatment.
• Load, light, extinguish, clean, reload, relight Ontake
• View supplementing and draining application methods, namely rolling, tapping and super-knocking on the skin with Ontake
• Apply a theoretical model for the treatment of midline pain by pairing anatomical opposite points on the Ren, Du, kidney and bladder channels.
• List contraindications of Ontake moxibustion
