Moxibustion

Discover the Power of Heat Sensitive Moxibustion

In ancient traditional Chinese medicine, practitioners understood the power of moxibustion therapy to treat numerous diseases with potent results. Today, those who practice Chinese Medicine understand the benefits of moxibustion and use this ancient therapy regularly in treatment. 

What Are the Benefits of Moxibustion Therapy?

Traditional Chinese medicine is founded on the belief that proactive measures are important in maintaining health and wellness and preventing disease. Moxa therapy is a powerful approach to achieving optimal health. It improves the body’s energy flow (Qi) and can increase natural immunity levels. Practitioners also use it to treat conditions such as:

  • Arthritis
  • Pain due to injuries and chronic conditions
  • Menstrual pain
  • Back pain
  • Digestive issues
  • Seasonal illnesses such as colds and flu
  • Pregnancy- and birthing-related conditions

At Roots and Branches, I use heat-sensitive moxibustion on patients who are looking to improve their overall health, as well as for those who have specific conditions to treat.

How Does Moxibustion Work?

Treatment involves heating the moxa plant using near- and far-infrared heat. I heat the plant over the body’s moxa points to stimulate yang-Qi. Frequently, patients choose to receive acupuncture and moxibustion therapy at the same time because the healing properties in both modalities combined boost the effectiveness of the treatment.
