Moxibustion

We offer Moxibustion Therapy, a traditional healing technique used to strengthen the body’s immune system, promote circulation, and provide relief from a wide range of health conditions.

Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), moxibustion uses the heat from burning dried mugwort (moxa) to stimulate specific acupuncture points, helping restore balance and improve your overall well-being.

What Is Moxibustion Therapy?

Moxibustion involves the burning of moxa, an herb derived from the mugwort plant, either directly on or near the skin. The gentle warmth created by the burning moxa penetrates deeply into the body, stimulating the flow of Qi (energy) and blood, and dispelling cold and dampness that may be contributing to pain or illness.
 
Moxibustion is often used in combination with acupuncture to enhance the therapeutic effects and encourage deeper healing. This natural and non-invasive treatment has been used for thousands of years to alleviate pain, boost the immune system, and improve the body’s ability to heal.

Moxibustion is particularly effective for those who feel cold or suffer from conditions exacerbated by dampness, such as arthritis, joint pain, and digestive issues.

What to Expect During Your Moxibustion Session

Your moxibustion session begins with a consultation to understand your specific health concerns and wellness goals. Based on your needs, we determine the best approach for your moxibustion treatment.
 
There are two primary types of moxibustion we offer:

  • Direct MoxibustionMoxa is applied directly to the acupuncture point and burned, creating a gentle warming sensation.
  • Indirect MoxibustionMoxa is burned near the skin, often with a moxa stick, to provide a warming effect without direct contact.

During the treatment, you’ll experience a soothing, deep warmth that helps to relax muscles, improve circulation, and promote healing. Moxibustion sessions are often paired with acupuncture for enhanced results, creating a deeply restorative experience.
