What Is Moxibustion?

Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that helps with acupuncture treatment when warranted. Moxibustion, known as "moxa" for short, is made from the dried leafy material of Chinese mugwort, but substances can be substituted depending on the practitioner.

In any case, a piece of Moxa is burnt and placed on or very close to the skin's surface to warm acupuncture points, which will help with the healing process.

Moxibustion has been practiced for thousands of years and is common throughout Asia.

As with most traditional Chinese medicine, the purpose of Moxibustion is to strengthen the blood, stimulate the flow of qi, and maintain general health.

What Can Moxibustion Be Used For?

Typically Moxibustion is used on those who have a cold or stagnant condition.

The burning of Moxa is a technique that can be used for multiple purposes. Below are a list of the most common uses.

It is thought to expel cold and help warm the meridians (meridians are simply the active highway to the human body), leading to a smoother flow of blood and qi.

  • Digestive problems and irregular elimination.

  • Fertility, Pregnancy and IVF Support.

  • Gynecological and obstetrical conditions, including breech presentation in late-term pregnancy.

  • Protection against cold and flu strains.

  • Any symptom with coldness feature or deficiency.

  • Chronic pain relief.

  • Increased metabolism.


Moxibustion can be used to treat various conditions, such as:

  • Back pain

  • Arthritis

  • Headaches

  • Migraines

  • Muscle stiffness

  • Tendonitis

  • Ulcers

  • Fatigue

  • Infertility

  • Menstrual cramps

  • Cancer

  • Digestive problems

  • Gynecological and obstetrical conditions

How Does Moxibustion Work?

At West End Wellness, our qualified acupuncturists will evaluate and perform Moxibustion with an acupuncture session to help enhance the treatment's results.

The two options for applying Moxa will be to put it directly onto the body, on top of an acupuncture needle, or from a distance using a moxa stick.

You will find a pleasant and warm feeling in the areas that will radiate from the site.
