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 online introductory workshop, Bair Manzarkhanov, LMT will introduce the basic principles of hormé, teach us how to prepare the herbal compresses at home and how to locate the hormé points on the body. 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.
