Introduction to Intradermal Needle Moxibustion – Kyutohinaishin Ho

Kyutohinaishin Ho is an indirect moxa technique where rice grain sized moxa cones are used to warm an intradermal needle. It provides an advantage over direct rice grain moxibustion when a greater penetration of heat is desired without leaving a burn or blister.  It is an effective technique for the treatment of a wide range of patient complaints including osteoarthritis and peripheral neuropathies of the hands and feet, Bell’s Palsy, trigeminal neuralgia and allergic rhinitis.
