Moxibustion 

Moxibustion is a form of heat therapy in which dried plant materials called "moxa" are burned on or very near the surface of the skin. The intention is to deeply warm and heat the body. It is not uncommon for patients receiving moxibustion to report a sudden flooding of warmth that quickly radiates along a specific pathway. This is a good result, as it indicates the arrival of the Qi and signals that the flow of Qi has been freed in the channel.

Moxibustion can be used for many conditions like pain, digestive problems, OBGYN conditions, stimulating the immune system, breeched babies and more.


Moxibustion is used to treat a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Pain
