What is Moxibustion?

Moxibustion works alongside acupuncture by warming the acupuncture points. It’s very effective at treating patients which have a ‘cold invasion’, such as arthritis. It helps move the energy through the channels and remove blocked Qi more quickly.

Moxa is made from Mugwort leaves, which is rolled into a large cigar and lit. It slowly burns, warming and removing any obstruction to the channels and thus promoting the normal functioning of the organs. Although the heat is mild, the warmth penetrates deep beneath the skin. Many patients fall asleep during this part of the treatment.
