Experience the Ancient Art of Moxibustion Therapy

What is Moxibustion Therapy?

Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese healing technique that involves burning dried mugwort (moxa) near the skin to stimulate acupuncture points. The heat generated helps promote circulation, relieve pain, and support the body’s natural healing processes.

This therapy is used to strengthen the immune system, reduce inflammation, and improve overall energy flow. Moxibustion is commonly combined with acupuncture for enhanced therapeutic benefits, making it a powerful tool for holistic wellness.

How Moxibustion Therapy Works

  • Stimulates Acupuncture Points – The heat from burning moxa activates specific acupuncture points to promote healing.
  • Enhances Blood Circulation – Increases blood flow and oxygen supply to tissues, helping in faster recovery.
  • Reduces Pain & Inflammation – Helps alleviate joint pain, muscle stiffness, and inflammation.
  • Boosts Immune Function – Supports the body's defense system and strengthens overall immunity.
  • Balances Energy Flow – Restores the body's natural energy balance (Qi) for improved well-being.
  • Warms the Body – Generates soothing heat that helps relieve cold conditions and enhances digestion.
  • Relieves Stress & Fatigue – Promotes relaxation by reducing tension and boosting overall energy levels.
