What Is
Moxibustion?
Moxibustion also called “Moxa”, is a traditional Chinese Medicine therapy which involves the burning of moxa, a cone or stick made of ground mugwort leaves, on or near your body’s meridians and acupuncture points. Practitioners use it indirectly, with acupuncture needles, or burn it an inch or two above the patient’s skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does Moxibustion work?
Practitioners believe that the moxibustion heat helps stimulate acupuncture points and improves the flow of qi (energy) in your body. This increased qi circulation can help with a range of health issues, from chronic pain to digestive troubles.
3. What conditions are suitable for moxibustion?
Moxibustion is used on individuals who have a cold or stagnant condition.
2. How is it done?
Practitioners hold a burning moxa stick about an inch or two from the skin. Once it gets red and warm, the practitioner will remove the stick. Another form of indirect moxibustion uses both moxa stick and acupuncture needles. Moxa stick is placed on the acupuncture needle and ignited. It burns on the needle until it’s extinguished. The heat travels through the needle to the acupuncture point.
