Summary

Description
English: Stick–on moxa (left) and moxa rolls (right) used for indirect moxa heat treatment. The stick-on moxa is a modern product sold in Japan, Korea, and China. Usually the base is self adhesive to the treatment point.

Both moxa rolls are Japanese products, the right one from the Ibuki area.

The roll on the left hand side is attributed to the famous Buddhis monk Kūkai or Great Teacher Kōbō (Kōbō daishi) who is said to have introduced moxa burning in Japan after his studies in China. This roll is still used by monks in ceremonial treatments.
Deutsch: Selbstklebende Moxa Hütchen und Moxa-Rollen zur indirekten Behandlung. Die Hütchen sind eine neuere Entwicklung anstelle des traditionellen indirekten Brennens durch Aufsetzen von Moxa-Kegelchen auf Ingwerscheiben u.ä.. Die Moxa-Rolle rechts stammt aus der für ihre feine Moxa seit alters her berühmten Gegend um den Berg Ibuki (Japan). Die linke Rolle stammt von den Tempeln des Bergs Koya (Japan) und geht auf den Gründer des Shingon Buddhismus Kūkai zurück, der das Moxabrennen aus China nach Japan gebracht haben soll. Solche Rollen werden noch heute von Mönchen in stark ritualisierten Behandlungen eingesetzt.
