Yesterday a client came in with a huge bruise. She does not know how it happened but it was last week and with blood thinners it is taking time to heal. I asked if I could speed up the process. I found a palpable hardening in the centre that I bled. I then applied a specific moxa technique and type of chinetsukyu cone. Bleeding a small amount of blood moves the blood that has stagnated due to the haematoma. The heat of the moxa invigorated the movement of blood. This helps considerably. I will be teaching the moxa method on my Japanese moxibustion course running at TheCityCollegeofAcupuncture 24th and 25th October. Just a few spaces left.
