Warm Up Your Wellness: Explore Moxibustion Therapy

Moxibustion

This traditional Chinese therapy uses burning moxa (made from mugwort) to gently warm acupuncture points and stimulate the body’s energy flow, or qi.

Moxibustion or Moxa sticks help with:

Pain Relief: Moxibustion may help relieve pain conditions such as arthritis, sciatica, and menstrual cramps. 

Improving Circulation: The heat from moxibustion can improve blood circulation, which may help reduce inflammation and promote healing. 

Boosting Immunity: Moxibustion may stimulate the immune system, making it more effective at fighting infections. 

Treating Infertility: Moxibustion is sometimes used to treat infertility in women, particularly when the baby is in a breech position. 

Promoting Digestive Health: Moxibustion may help improve digestion by stimulating the flow of Qi (energy) in the body. 

Treating Cold and Flu Symptoms: Moxibustion is believed to have warming and anti-inflammatory effects, which may help relieve symptoms of colds and flu. 

Other Potential Benefits: Moxibustion may also have benefits for conditions such as anxiety, insomnia, and chronic fatigue

You can add moxibustion or ‘moxa sticks’ to your next acupuncture appointment.
