Whats Moxibustion?

Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy using moxa, made from dried mugwort (Artemisia argyi). It involves the burning of this herb near the skin to facilitate healing. This technique is often used in conjunction with acupuncture, as it is believed to enhance the therapeutic effects by stimulating the flow of Qi (vital energy) through the body's energy pathways, known as meridians.

 

Our Moxibustion Therapy Services are designed to harmonize your body, mind, and spirit, employing time-honored techniques rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Discover the transformative power of moxibustion and how it can contribute to your holistic well-being.

Moxibustion is a therapeutic practice integral to Traditional Chinese Medicine. It involves the careful burning of moxa, a fluff made from the leaves of the dried mugwort plant, close to the skin's surface. This ancient technique facilitates healing by warming the body, invigorating the flow of Qi (life energy), and dispelling cold and dampness from the body.
