Warming Needles

Warming Needles is a Japanese
technique that incorporates high quality moxa wool in smaller amounts
to warm the meridians.
The moxa wool is placed on the handle of the needle after it has been
inserted into the acupuncture point.
The moxa is burned
on the handle or top of the needle and the warmth and therapeutic properties
are transferred to the meridians promoting the free flow of Qi and blood.
This is very relaxing and nurturing, and is used in the treatment of
painful joints caused
by cold, and numbness with cold sensation and paralysis.
