Why? – Need to get Qi etc flowing through
Why not use smokeless/electricity – It does not do the job. See all my moxa info – backed up by millennia of others work/life research as my own – knowing that the moxa burns at the infra red of the sun levels – AND is also highly penetrating –
Why not just use infra red lamp etc? – Many do – and is not directed enough for what we are doing here.
Why on needles – goes in where we want it as opposed to only radiant heat (though this happens also as it is radiating downwards when on a needle).
NOTE – You are not using plastic handled tubeless needles
All needles used to be copper topped so the heat was directed downwards.
All needles also had a spiral on the top so the moxa could stick on
How to do this
Use the right moxa punk.
Those selling moxa are not interested in what we need – but how much /who wants. . and thus moving quantity.
I seem not to be able to get the right stuff – as all if using moxa are on the Japanese thread trail – and it as ‘gold’ moxa is not only very expensive but burns differently. The best is between what is in the moxa rolls and the stuff I keep being sold – it is not gross enough .
It is far better than nothing – so please use ..
