Unlock the Power of Yang with The Salt Pack: Exploring its Origins and Benefits

At the heart of The Salt Pack lies the essence of yang power. Salt, revered as the most yang mineral, converges with the fiery intensity of heat, a yang element. This yang energy balances the yin organs such as the stomach, bladder, uterus, and intestines.

The Salt Pack, Ampuku Treatment, and the Yin-Yang Balance

In the realm of warriors, particularly the revered Samurai masters, the concept of yin and yang held paramount importance. A strong Tanden, symbolising yang energy, was synonymous with power and prowess. The dichotomy of yin and yang dictated victories and control in battle; where yin signified weakness, yang epitomised strength.

From the 13^th Century, Samurai conduct became heavily influenced by Zen Buddhism. By being present in the moment, writing poetry (haiku), tea ceremonies, massage with the heated salt pack (ampuku). Buddhist teachings had such an immense effect on the samurai life; many samurai lost meaning in killing and gave up their swords.

Practitioners use the salt pack to warm the hara (abdominal organs) and Tanden (power centre) with the intention of stimulating circulation through the hollow yin organs (stomach, bladder, uterus, small intestine and colon) and inducing a smoother flow of blood and yang qi (energy). It can treat conditions associated with the excess yin cold conditions or yang deficiencies in Oriental medicine.
