Moxibustion
Wondering what moxibustion is? This ancient therapy is the second most popular modality used alongside acupuncture at our clinic.
Moxibustion is a type of warm healing therapy in which a dried medicinal herb known as “moxa” is burned above an inserted needle or is used to warm the affected acupuncture meridian. The warm, acrid heat of the moxa plant Artemisia Vulgaris penetrates deep into the tissues, reaching the meridians and traveling to the organs.
After moxibustion patients report feeling warm and relaxed.
The technique is used to invigorate and warm the flow of energy and blood in the body. Moxibustion is helpful for pain conditions, to dispel cold, phlegm or water accumulation, to reduce inflammation, to boost vitality, strengthen immune system and organ function.
Moxibustion is very effective in the treatment of gynecological conditions and to turn breech babies.
