The period of self-restraint is still continuing due to the effects of COVID-19. Many of you may be suffering from physical discomfort due to self-restraint fatigue, headaches, stiff neck, stiff shoulders, back pain, dizziness, and autonomic nervous system problems that no one understands, due to excessive use of computers and smartphones.

For those who are feeling tired, we recommend moxibustion, which improves blood circulation. In recent years, it has attracted so much attention that the term "moxibustion girl" was coined. So this time, we visited "Sen-nen Kyu Showroom Nagoya'' in Kanayama, Nagoya, and asked them how to enjoy moxibustion. *(O)kyu: moxibustion

What is Sen-nen Kyu?

First, before introducing how to enjoy moxibustion, let's start with the history of Sen-nen Kyu. Moxibustion was invented over 2000 years ago. Sen-nen Kyu was founded in 1949 at the foot of Mt. Ibuki, which has long been known as a treasure trove of medicinal herbs.

Originally, moxibustion was considered to be something to endure heat to the point of burns. However, we succeeded in developing the world's first moxibustion with moderate heat, Sen-nen Kyu, by controlling the heat of moxa with the combination of paper pulp base and moxa roll.

Since then, they have been developing the first "fire-free moxibustion," "fragrance selectable moxibustion," and "smoke-free moxibustion" using carbonized moxa, etc., for the first time in Japan and the first time in the world.

Let's go to "Sen-nen Kyu Showroom Nagoya"!

Sen-nen Kyu Showroom Nagoya is located a 4-minute walk from the south exit of Kanayama Station on the Meijo and Meiko subway lines. The orange signboard is the landmark.

At "Sen-nen Kyu Showroom Nagoya", you can try and buy all the products of Sen-nen Kyu. Questions like "how to use moxibustion?" "Where should I put moxibustion?" can be answered here!

In addition, fun moxibustion events are held every month.

A lot of cute moxibustion!

Speaking of moxibustion, it's hot and scary and it's for the elderly! Is there a lot of people who have an image of that?

Actually, that is not true at all. There are fragrant moxa, no fire, and five levels of heat, so even beginners can try it. Most of the people who come to the store are women.

Recently, many product packages have been designed for women.

Curious about the effects of moxibustion?

Moxibustion improves blood circulation and blood work. Since the blood's ability to carry waste materials becomes more active, various symptoms such as stiff shoulders, back pain, eyestrain, sensitivity to cold, swelling, joint pain, and muscle pain are said to be alleviated.

I tried moxibustion!

At the showroom, you can try out all of Sen-nen Kyu 's products. So this time, I tried some moxibustion while listening to a lecture.

Start with the standard pedestal moxa. Remove the sticker, put it on your index finger, and light it on fire.

One of the criteria for selecting moxa is the level of heat. There are five levels of heat transmission depending on the type. For beginners and those who easily feel heat, we recommend the type with mild heat up to level 2.

During the experience, we were taught about an all-purpose acupoint called "Gogoku". Warming the area between the thumb and index finger is said to increase blood circulation. It is also effective at the beginning of a cold. After a little while, my entire body gradually warmed up.

The point is to stop when you feel "hot". Moderate heat is also effective. By the way, it seems that the effect is the same regardless of moxibustion.

Next is the "Biwako B-type," which allows the user to control the intensity of the heat and the duration of moxibustion as desired. The original device is used with a stick-shaped moxa set.

Once the tip of the moxa stick is exposed, it is evenly lit.

After the fire is lit, pull up the stick moxa to the height of the air hole in the main body, and fit the safety fixture in the bottom of the main body. This completes the set up!

First, warm your palm and check the temperature. You can adjust the temperature by changing the height of the bar.

When you warm your neck, it gradually warms you up and feels great.

You can safely apply moxibustion to the acupuncture points on your head. If you use Biwako type, it is easy to do moxibustion on the places where it is difficult to do it by yourself.

The staff will teach you carefully, so don't worry if you are a beginner. I found that my whole body warmed up in a short amount of time.

After trying moxibustion, you will be completely addicted to its charm.
