This form of Ginger Moxa technique,is from the tradition of Dr. Lam Kongs family of I believe, 9 nine generations of acupuncturists. I modified their original formula that I learned in acupuncture school, quite a bit over the years, but always kept what I considered the back bones of the formula; pine needles, san qi, and hong fa, along with my additions, in an olive oil and bees wax base. It is soaked for weeks or months sometimes, then simmered for hours. Then the oil is poured off, and the wax mixed in to make it a salve. It is a big project, but its worth it in the end.
There is a style of Ginger Moxa shown in many books that is totally different, that involves filling the navel with salt, and heating it up with a slice of ginger with mugwort smoldering on it. It is totally different than this.
This form of Ginger Moxa is totally different. It involves rubbing in this herbal infused salve with a flaming cotton ball clamped to a warm slice of ginger. It is great for ropy or tight muscles, pinched nerves and trauma, sore backs or neck and shoulders, menstrual pain, as well as warming up the middle burner.
I have seen a bruise almost disappear before my eyes, with this treatment. The wax oil penetrates the skin and seems to take hours to be fully absorbed into the bodies systems. It seems to acts like it is an internal pain patch.
The intent of the formula is to be a proprietary blend of vasiodialtor, blood mover, muscle relaxer, and trauma herbs in an oil and bee's wax base. My patients rave about it, and so will yours. The FDA has not approved it.
"Embrace What's Effective, ... Reject What's Not"
Great for use in massage with or without the Flaming Ginger Treatment. ... But if I didn't include this in the beginning of the massage, I would have some surprised and disappointed patients. My patients expect to be spoiled, "sometimes you have to give them what they want, so you can give them what they need."
It is very effective on old and new trauma, but you don't need an excuse to use it on your patient. I do it on almost every patient. I have been told many more times than I can remember, that this was "The Best Feeling Thing, They ever had felt, .... with No Exceptions".
I was voted the Best Alternative Medical Care Provider on Hawaii Island", Three years in a Row. Many patients have also said they would not keep coming in, if it wasn't for the Ginger Moxa Treatment. This treatment kept them coming back in, and telling their friends about this flaming ginger treatment.
If you want to spoil your patients, and build a successful practice; This treatment will do it for you.
