Course Outline

Introducing Hirata Zone Therapy—a holographic Japanese moxibustion system from the 1930s based on the teachings of Kurakichi Hirata. Heated bamboo is applied rhythmically on the skin to trigger the body’s self-healing mechanisms.

Hirata’s primary goal was to create a system that was easy for patients to learn and apply on themselves. Eighty years after his death, this method has become far more accessible with the application of a contemporary moxa device—Ontake Warm Bamboo, a piece of bamboo filled with burning moxa wool.
