Smokeless Needle Head Moxa
(Shihanakyu Japanese Style)

Smokeless Needle Head Moxa

Shihanakyu in Japanese means Four Flowers. Four Flowers & Disease Gate Moxibustion is a stream of traditional moxibustion theory and techniques that has gained increasing popularity.
 
In the style of "Ondan" but at a fraction of its price, these Japanese style smokeless needle head moxa are perfect for needle heating in the modern clinic environment.
 

Smokeless Needle Head Moxa There is no need in fiddling around with moxa punk. Simply cap onto Japanese style acupuncture needles (see AcuMax under needle section) and it's ready to go. These can also be applied to Chinese style needles after the end ring is snipped off.
 
Though not quite as refined as the Japanese ones, they are effective and very economical. It would be handy to have a wash basin close by.

Instructions & Precautions

* Before starting, please pierce the moxa roll with a skewer. * Apply the pre-cut moxa to the needles handle and squeeze it to ensure a tight fit. * To avoid skin burn from falling ashes, make sure to use protection cover around the treatment area. * If the patient feels the needle is uncomfortably hot, please remove the needle immediately. * Leaving the moxa rolls, particularly those with strong heat release, fully combusted on the needle handle may cause burns injury. * To remove a heated needle, always use a heat insulating glove.
