What is Moxa?

Moxa, or also known as moxibustion, is a type of Chinese medicine heat therapy that consists of burning the dried lead on or above specific points on the body. The herbal is also known as mug worth or “Aì yè” in Chinese medicine.

Moxa warms the areas of the body and this stimulates the circulation of QI and lymphatic flow. Many people find the scent of moxa very distinct, therapeutic and relaxing.

Moxa is often used in conjunction with acupuncture to enhance the effect of the treatment. Our practitioner will best advise if you should consider Moxa treatment as well as acupuncture treatment.
