What Is Moxibustion?
Moxibustion has been used by TCM practitioners for thousands of years. Mugwort, a plant in the daisy family, is dried and ground into moxa sticks. These sticks are then lit and held an inch from the skin to warm and invigorate any stagnant Qi (the body’s energy). As an experienced moxibustion practitioner, I will place these sticks along different acupoints on your body, according to your specific health concerns.
Moxibustion can be used with acupuncture to help support the body and mind and your overall wellbeing. As is the case with all TCM, your moxibustion practitioner will spend time understanding your lifestyle as a whole. They’ll ask questions about your sleep patterns, diet, menstruation and general wellbeing to get to the root cause of your pain or discomfort.
