Moxibustion

Moxibustion, or "Moxa," is a warming technique that involves burning the herb mugwort (moxa) and applying the heat to various parts of the body or specific acupoints. This promotes the free flow of qi (energy) and blood circulation, helping to alleviate certain types of pain, menstrual conditions, and fatigue.

Moxibustion is closely associated with acupuncture and uses processed mugwort in various forms, such as loose herbs, cigar-like sticks, smokeless sticks, or mini stick-on pellets. The moxa is heated on or near acupuncture points or painful areas to stimulate and warm the qi and blood flow, driving out pathogenic factors.

Moxibustion is used to treat pain, digestive issues, fertility problems, and other conditions by invigorating the flow of qi and enhancing circulation. At Coburg Chinese Medicine, moxa is extensively used with acupuncture patients. Many find moxa treatments comforting and relaxing, often looking forward to this part of their session.

In our clinic, moxibustion is a favourite among patients due to its comforting and warming effects. We use various moxa methods to tailor treatments to individual needs, enhancing the overall acupuncture experience and promoting healing.
