Japanese acupuncture 

In the 6th century Chinese acupuncture arrived in Japan where it has changed into a distinct style of acupuncture different from the Chinese and Korean styles. In Japanese acupuncture there is a strong influence from Western medicine since the 18th century, adding a stronger scientific approach to it. Whereas Chinese acupuncture also makes extensive use of herbalism, Japanese acupuncture makes more use of moxabustion. There is a great focus on palpation (touch), locating the exact points for the needle to enter and stimulating active points. In Japanese acupuncture the needles are a lot smaller and thinner than in the Chinese style of acupuncture and the needles will not enter the skin very deep. Because of that, a treatment is usually painless. This gentle method also makes it possible to treat very young, weak and sensitive patients. 
The overall approach of acupuncture is to focus on the root of a disease and the symptoms usually come second because the symptom is only a result of the cause. 
The diagnosis is based on touch, the medical background of the patient and an interview concerning the disease or issue. Sometimes also very light electric shocks are used to stimulate a quicker recovery. 

Moxibustion (or moxa) is a technique to stimulate the white blood cells in the body.
By placing moxa on specific places, the white blood cells will be activated. The white blood cells are the cells of the immunity system and by activating them, the immunity system will become stronger.

Moxa works with incense made with the herb Artemisia vulgaris. As the moxa becomes hot, the body will react by increasing it's white blood cells near the moxa. Moxa can become very hot, but will cause no damage to the skin. After about 15 seconds after the hottest moment the heat will disappear.

I use direct and indirect moxibustion, the difference between these is that direct moxibustion is placed directly on the skin and lighted. It will extinguish before it touches the skin. With indirect moxa something is placed between the moxa cone or the moxa is placed above the skin without touching it.
