Moxibustion is a traditional therapy used within Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years. At Meridian Health & Wellness, moxibustion may be incorporated into your treatment alongside acupuncture or other Traditional Chinese Medicine therapies. Moxibustion uses carefully controlled warmth from moxa, a preparation made from the mugwort plant, applied to selected areas of the body.
What Is Moxibustion?
Moxibustion involves gently warming specific acupuncture points or areas of the body. The soothing warmth is traditionally used to encourage the flow of Qi and support balance within the body. Depending on your individual needs, moxibustion may form part of a treatment approach focused on:
- Muscular tension and stiffness
- Relaxation
- General wellbeing
- Digestive wellbeing
- Energy and vitality
- Supporting recovery
Moxibustion & Acupuncture
Moxibustion and acupuncture are both traditional Chinese medicine therapies and can be used together.
While acupuncture uses fine needles at specific points, moxibustion introduces gentle warmth to selected areas. Your practitioner will determine whether this combination is appropriate for you.
