Moxibustion

Treatment

Moxibustion

Moxibustion warms specific points with compressed mugwort (moxa), held just above the skin or placed on the handle of a needle. The heat is deep and comforting rather than hot, and the smell reminds many people of sage.

We use smokeless moxa sticks in the treatment rooms, and we can teach you to use it safely at home between visits.

Best for: injuries that have stopped improving, cold hands and feet, fatigue and period pain that eases with warmth.
