Beniya Mukayu's "Spa Entei Treatment Clinic"

In Chinese medicine, the emphasis is on measures to prevent illness. The basis of this is to maintain a regimen based on the three pillars of diet, exercise, and sleep. Furthermore, it is also effective to incorporate Chinese herbal medicine and moxibustion on a daily basis, or to receive treatments at a Chinese herbal spa.

A must-see for those who want to self-care with moxibustion
“Sennen Moxibustion Ginza”

In Oriental medicine, acupuncture plays a central role along with Chinese medicine. In addition, further effects can often be expected by using them together. However, many people find it difficult to enter an acupuncture clinic. Therefore, I would like to recommend moxibustion, which can stimulate pressure points without using acupuncture needles. In particular, Sennen moxibustion is known as a form of moxibustion that eliminates the worry of burns and can be easily used by anyone. The secret to its popularity is that the thickness of the paper pulp pedestal controls heat, providing just the right amount of heat that makes you feel good and improves symptoms.

Sennen moxibustion is a moxibustion that anyone can use easily. The thickness of the paper pulp pedestal controls the heat, so you can feel just the right amount of heat.

Sennen Moxibustion Ginza is where you can actually experience Sennen Moxibustion. The shop on the first floor sells a variety of types of moxibustion, including standard moxibustion products that use fire, as well as scented moxibustion, smokeless moxibustion, non-flame moxibustion, and authentic stick-warming moxibustion. On the third floor, a moxibustion class is held to help people practice self-care at home. By learning how to use moxibustion, how to find pressure points, and tips for using moxibustion for each symptom, anyone can incorporate moxibustion into their daily lives. There is also a moxibustion treatment room, where you can receive professional moxibustion treatment.

“Beniya Mukayu Spa Entei Clinic”

Beniya Mukayu is a beautiful inn surrounded by nature in Kaga Yamashiro Onsen. This is a quiet inn with 16 rooms built around a mountain garden. ``Muheyou'' is a word favored by Zhuangzi and means nothing, or nothingness. This is a rare place where you can regain your mind through the healing power of nature. In the ``Horin Entei'' area of ​​the hotel, there is a ``Spa Entei Clinic'' where you can receive treatments using Chinese medicine. Legend has it that monks at Yakuoin Onsenji Temple in Yamashiro saved people by bathing in the hot springs and mixing medicinal herbs.
