Are you looking for an alternative therapy or alternative medicine to treat your back pain?  Perhaps you are curious about acupuncture or moxibustion and how acupuncture treatment actually works.   Acupuncture and moxibustion is TCM or Traditional Chinese Medicine but Japanese acupuncturists have been using it for centuries as well.  Acupuncture for back pain or acupuncture for headaches, it can heal almost any ailment.   

If you are not ready for the acupuncture needles then maybe try acupressure or a shiatsu massage first. 

Moxibustion is used to treat many illnesses or aches and pains as well.  It is not invasive though.  You simply either wave the smoke wand above the area that is causing pain or discomfort.  Or you can also use the stick ons…but beware that you use those until they burn down.  It won’t hurt you but there is some discomfort.   

The two kinds of moxibustion I have purchased and recommend are listed below.

I have been getting acupuncture treatments my whole life.   My guest today is a dear family friend Shigeno Kenmochi.  She treated my asthma when I was a kid and now I get treatments when I visit her in Tokyo.   This is Part 1 of a 2 part video.  In Part 2, she gives me an actual treatment!

Have you had an acupuncture or moxibustion treatment before?
