Welcome
How to use moxa and when a health worker helping pregnancy, or generally.
The most important thing is follow the intention to warm
in so doing – no breezes permitted – perhaps see what have on this video (filmed 2014)
If you need to construct a tent to use – many large towels are perfect- see below
The moxa roll must NOT be the ‘smokeless’ charcoal one – it will poison you in enclosed space as it releases all sort of gases – including CO . . The moxa stick must be held never on the skin – it =f the person has diabetes – they may not feel what you are doing – so positioning one of your fingers close to the skin, where you are working is best – NEVER your thumb though as there are forbidden to moxa points there.
Handy hints for everyone
Filmed in my Brisbane clinic, pre 2020

Why moxa? It works – when it is the smoky sort . . is also burning at the vibration of the infra red of the sun. this explains why some acuojtits use the lamps – BUT moxa is moxa.. not only heat
Best position – straddling a chair – the pregnant mum needs to be facing where bub can get more space to get off the sciatic nerve, and thus release as all the upset in she may be feeling.

Both of you need to have eaten recently and be well hydrated, offer warm water often, have NO BREEZES at all –
and have the recipient of care straddling a chair or otherwise sitting forwards.

HOW TO
Filmed 11 years ago in an outside moxa modesty area – in sunny tropical Brisbane.
NOTE – it may look like I am close to the skin – is the angle of the filming – always at least a cm away.
Why use moxa? (Filmed 8 years ago . . . answering below
Cautions?
I used almost of all the time on everyone. .
It is with great sorrow that I can no longer – as I am so allergic. But as the moxa queen, who was breathing in clouds of smoke and their residue, 3 rooms of 12+ moxa burning in needles for at least three goes each – with almost no air extraction, for over 40 years. This can be expected – is an overuse injury.
There are many useful ways to take the moxa smoke out:
I used at least bathroom extractor fans in windows that had been put in with thicker glass by a glazier. .
Also constructed moxa sheds for my clinics.
Moxa outside . .
Contructing a moxa tent
Too simple – do it nightly – AS LONG AS YOU ARE NOT GETTING A DRAFT IN
I ended up using the moxa small volcanoes, that were on the ginger slice, with the women leaning forwards, and – with a buffer, do no ash could accidentally fall down her bum crack, held it with artery clamps, and it was perfect – no smoke inside, and the WARMTH – in one case (7th pregnancy with crippling pubic symphysis pain – three goes of this and she lept up onto the treatment couch for me to get started’ . I had – the SLQR work on her while we waited for the moxa to burned down, so we only had ember volcano was perfect timing. Her midwife watching on could only say – ‘What about your pain?” to which she said –“gone’. .
There are books, videos, charts and posters
