Ninniku Okyū is a traditional form of healing and a rare treatment originating in Northeastern Japan among a community of healers and seers. The treatment process involves intuitive hand-based work throughout the body followed by heat being applied to specific points through the use of moghusa, or the Japanese mugwort plant. The in-depth process also involves intuitively guiding the client to open themselves to discovering and understanding the root causes of their challenges. This process of opening up both physically and emotionally prepares them to receive the heat therapy. Each day of treatment typically takes approximately 4 hours.
