Moxibustion
Soothing therapeutic warmth from mugwort herb applied near acupuncture points
Clinical Overview
Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy that uses moxa, made from dried mugwort, to warm specific acupuncture points or areas of the body. The moxa is held near the skin, never touching it, so you feel a gentle, spreading warmth. It is often combined with acupuncture to deepen the effect of treatment.
Therapeutic Mechanism
The gentle, penetrating heat improves local circulation, relaxes muscles, and, in Chinese medicine terms, warms and moves energy (Qi) in areas that feel cold, stiff, or depleted.
What You'll Experience
You will feel a pleasant, deep warmth over the treatment area. The practitioner keeps the moxa at a safe distance and adjusts it to your comfort. The herb has a mild, earthy scent.
