Moxibustion

Moxa is used by Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners for its warming and tonifying properties. Moxibustion is the process of burning Moxa – either on a needle, or directly on the skin.  Moxibustion helps build the Qi and rid the body of excess moisture. Patients undergoing moxibustion generally enjoy the feeling of warmth and find it very relaxing. The heat never gets close enough to the skin to burn.

Moxibustion is included in a private acupuncture visit if necessary. Moxibustion treatments without acupuncture are also available.
