Hormé: 'Mongolian Moxibustion'
with Bair Manzarkhanov, LMT
Hormé, otherwise known as 'Mongolian Moxibustion', is one of the fundamental external therapies highlighted in the Four Medical Tantras, the root text of Tibetan Medicine. It is primarily used to address imbalances in the wind humor (Tib. རླུང་ “loong”) by deeply relaxing, warming, and nourishing the body and mind. This safe and simple method involves dipping small compresses filled with aromatic wind-pacifying herbs into warm oil and applying them to specific points on the body. It can be used as a standalone therapy or combined with other healing modalities such as acupuncture or massage.
In this hands-on workshop, we will learn all of the necessary foundations to practice Hormé. From identifying the types of individuals and conditions that are most benefited by this therapy, to hands-on instructions for making the herbal pouches, the study of medical points on the body for application, and concluding with practicing the treatment of Hormé on one another.
This is an excellent workshop for bodyworkers, healers of various modalities, or anyone simply interested in applying this simple and safe home remedy to friends and family.
