Enhance Your Heath with Moxibustion Therapy
What is Moxibustion?
Did you know that the very term for acupuncture in Chinese directly connects it to moxibustion?
Moxibustion is a traditional, time-honoured, Chinese medicine technique that uses the heat from burning moxa (a dried herb, typically mugwort) to stimulate acupuncture points and promote healing. This therapy enhances circulation, boosts immunity, and supports overall vitality. The mesmerizing smoke of the moxa ignites your meridians, paving the way for smooth blood flow and a vibrant Qi distribution.
Moxibustion is all about boosting your blood flow, activating that vital life force known as Qi, and promoting vibrant overall health in the process. This is especially true for those with diabetes, reduced pain sensitivity, specific medications such as prednisone, or those with conditions involving a compromised circulation or a weakened immune system.
Direct or indirect? It’s your choice
In direct moxibustion, a small, cone-shaped amount of moxa is placed right on an acupuncture point and set ablaze. On the other hand, non-scarring moxibustion lets you enjoy the deep warmth as the moxa is ignited and then removed before it can sting. You get to bask in a delightful heating sensation that goes deep, bringing relaxation without any side effects such as scarring.
There’s also a fantastic twist to the tale where acupuncture needles meet moxibustion. In this case, a needle gets inserted at an acupoint, and the tip is wrapped up in moxa and fired up, sending waves of soothing heat right where you need it, promoting healing on a whole new level.
