Moxibustion (moxa) is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves burning dried mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) on or near specific acupuncture points. The gentle heat generated helps to warm the meridians, strengthen the body's qi (energy), and support yang energy.
This therapy is particularly effective for conditions related to cold, dampness, or weakness in the body's energy systems. Our practitioners use high-quality aged moxa to ensure safe and effective treatments.
Conditions We Treat:
- Digestive disorders and poor appetite
- Chronic fatigue and low energy
- Cold constitution and poor circulation
- Immune system weakness
- Chronic diarrhea or loose stools
- Certain types of asthma and respiratory issues
