Japanese Acupuncture Video Updates

At http://worldacupuncture.com we focus on the clinical practice of Japanese Acupuncture and Moxibustion.

We were deeply inspired by Mizutani Junji Sensei’s workshop on rice grain moxibustion last month. So much so that we are dedicating this entire month of videos to rice grain moxibustion!
