Moxibustion

Moxibustion is another modality in Chinese Medicine that uses the herb mugwort to burn over the body on specific acupuncture points, channels, or muscles creating a warming effect. Moxa is great for treating a variety of conditions including muscular pain, improving digestion, improving immunity, fatigue, gynecological disorders, neuropathy, arthritis, and even breech baby.

Moxa can be used as a stand alone treatment or modality combined with acupuncture. It stimulates warmth and circulation to an area while naturally strengthening the body’s immune system.
