SAKE BURO (Sake bath)

Do-in is a health method to stimulate "tsubo" (vital points for the flow of Ki along the body's meridians). Usually it requires movements accompanied by breathing. However, the sake bath is a key Do-in technique that requires nothing more than taking a daily hot bath with sake added - you just let the sake and the natural pressure of the water do the work to stimulate internal organs. Sake helps the heat of the water penetrate into the body. Benefits include facilitating the absorption of healthy Ki, cleansing the pores and softening the skin. A special form of powdered sake is available for those who travel or cannot readily obtain large quantities of sake.

* Please note that people with high blood pressure, certain skin diseases, asthma, rheumatism, paralysis, and diabetes should consult with Nihon Dokan staff or their doctor before taking a sake bath. Some herbs can also be added to the bath with good effect.
