Hi,
I've been to Japan several times and have come across several times this "medical" instrument that looks like chopsticks, but have some form of incence burning inside...it heats up the tips making them almost red... and you rub it on your skin, your head, your arms... to help blood circulation. Everytime I try remember it's name but always forget. If you know what I'm talking about then you probably know what it is; for those who don't I'm probably talking nonsense. The "chopsticks" (steel?) and connected at the top, so they are twinned. It's a bit like a natural/soothing therapeutic instrument. Hope I've given enough details! Thank you!
What is the name of a Japanese therapeutic instrument that resembles metal chopsticks?
Do you mean this?

If so, it is called, "kyu-tou-shin" spelled "灸頭針." Or you may simply call it "okyu." (お灸)
