Moxibustion

A very effective TCM technique, involving the burning of a specific herbal medicine plant placed on specific acupuncture points throughout the body. The main purpose of moxibustion is to strengthen the blood, stimulate the flow of qi, warm the interior and maintain general health. That is why it has been shown to be effective in cold and stagnate conditions.

What happens during a treatment?

A small cone of the herb burns directly on top of the selected acupoints or is placed on the tip of the needle and is then removed before it can burn the skin. Using the heat to relieve pain and discomfort is one of the oldest forms of treatment. Moxibustion remains a very safe and effective healing method.

Some of the benefits of Moxibustion include:

• The stimulation of acu-points using heat creates a relaxing feeling
• increases blood supply to an area.
• clears blockages within the meridians,
• drives cold energies out of the body
• promotes a deeper relaxation of vessels and muscles
• allows the body's natural healing mechanisms to flourish.
