Testimonials

“During the session Mukund is so fully present within himself and with my entire being. He is guided to the places in my body that need to be shaken and awakened and moxibustioned.  He is a healer: I left feeling more whole and holy. I left more centered in myself and yet more connected to the origin of my being. My channels were opened and reconnected. As Rumi would say: ‘Myself, the bamboo flute, was reconnected to the roots of the reed from which I was formed.’”

- Monika Fempel, Poet & Esalen Massage Therapist


“I would recommend Japanese Moghusa treatments to anyone who suffers from chronic pain and to anyone who wishes to claim the potential for vibrant physical and spiritual health that lies deep within. I suffered for eight months with an inflamed spinal disc and injured psoas and piriformis muscles. Moxibustion went straight to the core of my wounds and of all of the imbalances my body had sustained as a result of taking allopathic medications. I emerged from the week-long treatment a more integrated person than I was before the injury.

Thanks to the continued benefits of the Moghusa treatment, I feel lighter and know that I more closely resemble myself as a sunny and insatiably creative five-year-old than I have for the last twenty years.”

“My pollen allergies are really severe and I used to go to an allergy specialist for 10 years. My symptoms included a runny nose, blockage of noses, itchiness of nose and eyes, sinus pains, headaches, body aches, tiredness, and heaviness of body. Right after the first day of the Moghusa treatment, I noticed heaviness in my body was gone and I felt my whole body became light. There were certainly many challenging moments when toxins were being released from my body through the 7 day treatment cycle and follow-up sessions. Yet, my mind was so clear, my body was light, and I didn't feel tired at all. Later, at one point, when my nose blockage recurred, I took an acupuncture treatment from a doctor who I had known earlier. This time though I noticed how sensitive I felt the needles were. What would have taken 10 days to treat via acupuncture, now only took 5 days. I also noticed that although the acupuncture treatment cleared my nose for a period of time, it did not provide me the lightness of body and clarity of mind. I realized that the effects of the Moghusa treatment were still working inside of my body.

Now it is one year later, spring 2009, and I have had no symptoms at all for the most part! I have not required any medical help and feel very clear headed and energized. I am so thankful for the Moghusa treatments I received a year ago.”

“I have been having high blood pressure and a change of medication was leading to difficulty in urination esp. with some burning after the new meds each morning. The week long treatment has resulted in the situation significantly improving so far that I had to recollect how this felt as I write this. That always is a good sign. Moghusa is a very unique experience in that it is part like shiatsu, works like acupuncture but with the heat from burning herbs penetrating your skin just the right amount like that of infra red heat, allows one to realize how the body is connected and that this very wholesome approach addresses more than just the symptoms. Each session takes Mukund an incredible amount of attention and giving of his good energy, and I for one realize have only scratched the surface in my understanding of this profound ancient science. Not only the symptoms have gone but I see the Blood Pressure having come down another notch with all the other variables like meds and diet being the same. This is something that I would recommend whole heartedly.”

“I went to Mukund to address some digestive issues and got a whole lot more than physical relief, I got a mental/emotional cleanse. Mukund's knowledge and intuition guide him to addressing not only symptoms but helps you to unravel root causes”

“I had my first experience of Mukund Subramanian’s Japanese Moghusa treatment in 2006, while in Boston, over three consecutive days. Since 2003 I had been suffering from chronic spondilitis and my orthopedic doctor, after examining my X ray said that nothing much can be done since the joints had fused and I should get relief with some exercises and pain killers. My pain aggravated while in Boston and I also developed hypertension probably due to excessive use of pain killers. After the treatments, though I felt tired and wanted to rest, at the same time, I felt very rejuvenated. Within the next two days my pain reduced considerably and in a week I was fully relieved. In 2007, I had once again a Moghusa treatment for a urinary tract infection. He once again gave me a three day course of treatment and my infection gradually disappeared. I attribute this experience to the Moghusa treatment itself and to the intense energy transmitted by Mukund during the treatment. It is amazing to see the total concentration that Mukund brings to this healing process.”

“Mukund has an amazing healing touch and the Moghusa treatment has profound healing effects. I had recurring shoulder and elbow pains due to long-standing RSI stress. Mukund was able to almost erase the pain when neither acupuncture nor western-based medicine had managed before. Surprisingly, he was also able to detect underlying emotional energies that exacerbated the situation and this deepened the healing process. From introspective head nods to a sensitive touch, Mukund is a multi-talented practitioner of the healing arts.”

“I have done a three week/21 day course of Japanese Moghusa treatment with Mukund to strengthen my immune system in fighting Lyme disease. The passion, intelligence and spirituality Mukund brings to his work allows for a healing experience like no other. The work not only loosens muscles, alleviates pain and strengthens the entire system, but it blends the physical body with the spiritual one. The healing goes straight to ones core of their being. An experience I will always cherish on my path to wellness. I also highly recommend the treatment to other people battling Lyme, as a powerful compliment to Dr. Cowden's herbal protocol.”

“The Japanese Moghusa treatment was a great surprise for me. I had a terrible skin condition but didn't know what was causing it. After the three day treatment, it got a lot better. I'd recommend the treatment to anyone who has any discomfort in the body, weather it is a deeper issue or something that is chronic! It is effective beyond belief!”

“After having assessed a number "traditional" medical approaches including surgery and anti-inflammatory and pain pills, as well as trying chiropractic adjustments, I decided to try a more integrative method involving both western and eastern ideas to solve my cervical slipped disc issues and pain. Moxa was what I tried next. Mukund's Japanese Moghusa treatments are both relaxing and healing. I truly believe that healing involves both the physical and the mental and the combination of Mukund's spiritual nature and his Moghusa treatments was perfect for my situation. I am a very active person and I have resumed all of my physical activities after his treatments! I guarantee that anyone who goes to Mukund will come out feeling more at ease and more at peace.”

“In the beginning of the year had a check up from my gynecologist as I was having some bladder problems and was getting up in the middle of the night 2-3 times to empty my bladder. Once I was examined, the doctor told me I had an enlarged uterus the size of a grapefruit and told me the best option would be to have a hysterectomy.

This was not an option I wanted to choose. So I was referred by a friend also a former patient of Mukund Subramanian, who had spoke very highly of him over the years. I told Mukund of my prognosis from my doctor and as soon as he examined me and assessed my condition, he found a lot more than just an enlarged uterus. It turned out I had serious liver condition that I was not even aware of. I had symptoms, like being completely bloated, my feet and legs were numb, swollen and restless. Plus I was always tired with low energy.

Since my condition was quite serious, Mukund advised I do a 21 day Moghusa treatment on me, which I committed to, very determined to be well again. I completed the whole treatment in the spring of 2009 and now my serious condition is behind me! Not only did the moghusa treatment reduce the size of the fibroid in my uterus, it completely cleansed my liver and kidneys/bladder and I have no more numbing or swelling in my feet and legs. My energy and well being are just about back to normal and feel better than I have in a long time!!! I am forever thankful for Mukund’s incredible healing techniques with Moghusa. ”

“I have had stressful days at work and I was feeling my health was deteriorating. Upon going to hospital it turned out that I had a 4cm cyst in my left ovary. With the recommendation offered by a friend, I decided to receive Moghusa treatments from Dr. Mukund. After an initial consultation I decided to proceed with a 7 day treatment. After the treatment was over, I went to the ob-gyn for a checkup. The cyst had shrunk to 2.5cm! I think Dr. Mukund’s treatment is beneficial not only for the body but also for the mind. After each treatment I felt so relaxed and refreshed, as if the poison that was nesting in me was all gone.”

- Midei Toriyama, Product Manager


“My detoxification experience with Mukund's treatment was remarkable!! It felt like I got back my body from my younger days. I felt so light, like I could almost fly when I was walking down the street. No other treatment has ever made my body feel that clear.”

- Reiko Hasegawa, Musician, Balinese Gamelan


“After suffering from gastrointestinal discomfort for a long period of time I decided to try Mukund's moxibustion treatment. Being very familiar with the benefits that derive from heat therapy and the healing infrared heat properties of the mugwort that deeply penetrate in the tissue, I chose to receive a full 2 week treatment to reap the maximum benefits. The results were great as my pain was completely relieved at the end of the treatment cycle. I must also add that during the treatment cycle I experienced a surge in energy and got rid of a persistent lower back pain as well.”

- Andrea Pezzano, Medical Marketing Director


”My journey through a one week treatment cycle with Mukund was profound in that I felt refreshed, enlightened and reminded that for one to be physically and spiritually content, it takes work and commitment. From a regimen to cleanse myself of accumulated toxins, both physical and mental, all of this while enduring bits of mugwort being burned upon my body, only to be tempered by cool slices of organic garlic, there emerged revelations and epiphanies, ranging from the mundane to the profound. Word of advice: do this for yourself. Trust Mukund to re-open paths that you already are destined to follow. But only commit when you are ready to be honest with it. I think you all know what precipice of fear you have to encounter to ultimately be at peace with yourself. Do it! peace to all”

- Roger Oyama, Japanese Carpentry and Design


“I went in to see Mukund for treatment of a very stiff neck and shoulder. Mukund was very knowledgeable and professional during our moxibustion session, and picked up on a lot of other imbalances in my body that were pretty dead on. Prior to my treatment with Mukund, I had been doing weekly acupuncture sessions, but noticed that the Moghusa treatment made a significant improvement on my pain. I felt lighter and energized, and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a deeper, long-lasting treatment.”

- Rashi Mehra, Editor, Los Angeles


“I received 7 Moghusa treatments within a week. As a result, I became much more aware of the functioning of particular organs, sleep patterns and of latent, not yet critical, problems connected to diet. This enabled me to take preventive action. I highly recommend Moghusa treatments for preventive health and increasing body awareness. With more awareness, we can make different choices, changing patterns.”

- Darya Funches, Ed.D. Mossyrock, Washington


“The three day rejuvenation treatment with Mukund was such a deep journey, opportunity and blessing. It took me to a very new place, heightening my connection with, awareness of, and respect for my body. The experience has definitely shifted my relationship with my body, thanks to Mukund!”

- Yuki Nara, Aesthetic Pruner of Japanese Maple, Founder, Way of Maple
