- Book 1 of 4: The Ontake Method
Is moxibustion too difficult to apply, too risky, or too smoky? Discover a practical Japanese moxa method that brings heat, movement, and rhythm into modern acupuncture practice.
Moxibustion is one of the oldest therapeutic methods in Chinese medicine. In modern acupuncture clinics, however, many practitioners avoid moxa because it feels time-consuming, hard to control, or difficult to integrate. And yet the classics say, for chronic conditions, pain, and whole-body regulation, moxa has no equal.
Moxa in Motion with the Ontake Method introduces a clear, step-by-step approach to Japanese moxibustion using Ontake Warm Bamboo. This method uses a bamboo tube filled with burning moxa wool to roll, tap, and press along the acupuncture meridians. Combined with Dr Manaka’s meridian frequencies, the rhythmic application of heat, pressure, and movement can produce rapid shifts in pain, body condition, and mood, while generating only a little smoke.
In this practical clinical handbook, you will learn:
- Dr Manaka's meridian frequencies and how to apply them
- Branch treatments for symptom relief
- Root treatments for whole-body regulation
- How to adapt Dr Tan’s Balance Method with Ontake moxa for the rapid relief of pain in different parts of the body
- Clinical applications for musculoskeletal, digestive, ENT, and psychological issues, including diarrhoea, allergic rhinitis, and anxiety
- How to integrate Ontake into acupuncture, Shiatsu, Tuina, and other bodywork traditions
- How to make your own Ontake tool from bamboo, so you can start practice immediately
Moxa in Motion presents a step-by-step guide to clinical practice with the Ontake Method. Written for acupuncturists, moxibustion practitioners, Shiatsu therapists, Tuina practitioners, and bodyworkers, it provides a safe, practical, and clinically useful way to use moxa. Whether you are new to moxibustion or already using moxibustion in clinic, Moxa in Motion offers a flexible path to improving treatment results and expanding your therapeutic skills.
Oran Kivity is a British acupuncturist, author, and international trainer with four decades of clinical experience. He lives in Taiwan, where he continues to practise, write, and teach. He has dedicated countless hours to clinical observation and study, integrating the knowledge of contemporary Japanese masters into practical methods for modern acupuncture clinics. Through writing and teaching, he has helped ignite international interest in Ontake, a remarkable moxa tool from Japan, and developed these dynamic techniques into this lively, practical handbook on moxibustion.
