Ito Thermie
What is Ito Thermie?
Ito Thermie is a holistic self-healing method from Japan. Originally designed as a family therapy, its purpose is to maintain the body’s health and to awaken the natural healing potential that lies dormant within each of us.
It was created in 1929 by Dr. Kin-Itsu Ito, a Japanese physician, after twenty years of research into therapeutic heat and medicinal plants. Drawing from moxibustion, shiatsu and aromatherapy, he forged his own original path.
What makes it unique: it can be practised on others as well as on oneself.
It is a method in which one takes responsibility for one’s own health — learning to care for oneself daily, rather than waiting for imbalance to set in.
Practiced daily, Ito Thermie becomes a true art of living, a way of tending to oneself with closeness, love and respect for one’s own rhythm.
How does a session unfold ?
An Ito Thermie treatment is an experience that is both simple and profound.
Using two metal tubes called Reonki — into which incandescent incense sticks made from medicinal plants (moxa, loquat leaf, pine, cedar, cinnamon…) are inserted — a gentle heat is transmitted along the body’s meridians and acupressure points.
The combustion of the incense inside the Reonki produces heat, infrared radiation and aromatic scents — a combination enhanced by a light pressure, inviting the body into deep release. The inhalation of the medicinal plants carried in the smoke reinforces and completes this effect.
The atmosphere that emanates from a session is both silent and enveloping. It is within this particular space that the self-healing potential awakens — body, soul and spirit treated as one living whole.
The treatment itself lasts between 15 and 20 minutes. For a complete session — consultation, intention-setting and treatment — allow 45 minutes.
Benefits & indications
By travelling across the whole body, Ito Thermie awakens and supports the major vital functions: blood and lymphatic circulation, hormonal balance, the autonomic nervous system, detoxification processes.
Its particular heat — gentle yet penetrating — continues to work well after the session, for up to twenty-four hours. In this state of deep relaxation, the body finds its ease again, imbalances dissolve, and one feels once more in harmony with oneself.
Ito Thermie also finds its place as preparation for inner silence and meditation, and can support children experiencing attention or restlessness difficulties.
Ito Thermie is particularly indicated for :
- Fatigue, stress and chronic tension
- Muscular and joint pain
- Immune fragility and detoxification processes
- Sleep difficulties
- The need for deep revitalisation
- Self care
How did I fall in love with Ito Thermie?
My first session was in 1999. Just before falling asleep, the subtle, clear fragrance of the reonki quite simply bewitched me. I felt an enveloping gentleness, a soothing warmth — filled with benevolence — and I fell asleep right there.
The next morning, upon waking, I had the feeling of returning from very far away, deeply replenished, as perhaps I had never been. My face was completely relaxed.
I began the training within weeks, then the advanced courses — over fifteen years of learning, with three constants at the heart of this practice: giving a session, receiving a session, observing a session.
What touched me from the very beginning was the beauty of the gesture, the elegance of the movement, and that particular silence that emanates from a session.
It is precisely within this space that self-healing becomes possible.
Over the years, I have learned to welcome symptoms no longer as enemies to be silenced, but as the body’s attempts at healing — and to take responsibility for them, session after session.
This method is a true tool of transformation: it releases what is no longer necessary and brings us closer to ourselves — from the physical body to the most subtle layers of our being.
