Moxibustion, a key component of traditional Chinese medicine, predates the use of acupuncture needles. This holistic healing therapy involves burning a dried herb, typically mugwort, either directly on the skin or just above it. The aim is to stimulate and warm specific points, meridians, or areas of the body.
The therapeutic heat from Moxibustion is used to:
· Warm and stimulate circulation
· Improve the flow of Qi and Blood
· Dispel cold and dampness
· Relieve pain
· Support the natural healing processes
Moxibustion is commonly used for:
· Digestive issues.
· Haemorrhoids and other prolapses
· Fatigue and low energy
· Infertility (depending on the root cause)
· Pain (acute or chronic)
· Menstrual cramps
· Musculoskeletal issues
· Turning breeched babies
Smokeless Moxa is used in clinic.
Moxibustion is a valuable therapy within the realm of holistic healing, and its application is determined during the consultation and diagnosis process of Acupuncture or Tui Na. We start by assessing:
Your symptoms and health concerns
Areas of coldness, pain, or low energy
Your overall body balance and patterns
This comprehensive evaluation helps us ascertain if moxibustion, a key practice in traditional Chinese medicine, is the right therapy for you.
Moxibustion, a practice rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, is utilized on specific acupuncture points and areas of the body to promote holistic healing by warming and stimulating circulation.
In the practice of traditional Chinese medicine, the moxa stick is held at a safe distance from the skin and moved in an up and down, or circular motion around the inserted needles during Moxibustion. You will feel a soothing, penetrating warmth (not burning) that promotes holistic healing. The sensation is deeply relaxing and comforting.
You’ll rest comfortably while the heat from Moxibustion works to enhance your holistic healing experience by:
· Warming the body and improving circulation
· Relaxing muscles
· Restoring internal balance
