What is Moxibustion?

Moxibustion, or “moxa,” is a therapeutic technique used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that involves burning mugwort (a medicinal herb) near the skin to warm and stimulate specific acupuncture points. This heat therapy is often used alongside acupuncture to enhance the treatment's effectiveness, improve circulation, and restore the flow of Qi (vital energy) throughout the body.

How Does Moxibustion Work?

Moxibustion uses the heat generated from burning mugwort to penetrate deep into the body, warming areas of cold or stagnant Qi. In TCM, cold and stagnation are often seen as causes of pain and illness. By applying heat to acupuncture points, moxibustion helps to unblock energy pathways, increase circulation, and promote healing.

What Can Moxibustion Treat?

Moxibustion is often used to treat a variety of conditions, including:

• Chronic pain, such as arthritis and joint stiffness

• Digestive issues like bloating and diarrhea

• Menstrual and reproductive health concerns

• Fatigue and low energy

• Cold hands and feet

• Respiratory conditions such as asthma and bronchitis
