Moxibustion is an ancient technique derived from traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine, which involves applying heat to specific points on the body using a medicinal plant: mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris).
What is the Ontake method?
Developed by Oran Kivity, renowned practitioner and teacher, the Ontake method is an innovative approach to Japanese moxibustion. It uses a hollow bamboo stick filled with glowing moxa to diffuse gentle, constant heat onto the skin. Thanks to rhythmic and precise movements, this technique harmonises the body's energy and stimulates the acupuncture meridians.
