Moxibustion

At Oriental Acupuncture & Herb Clinic, Moxibustion is performed by NCCAOM-certified practitioners with extensive training in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Each session is tailored to your individual constitution and health goals, blending time-tested technique with modern clinical standards.

Moxibustion involves burning dried mugwort (moxa) near or on acupuncture points to generate penetrating therapeutic warmth. This warmth stimulates Qi flow, expels pathogenic cold and dampness, strengthens Yang energy, and invigorates blood circulation. It is particularly effective for conditions worsened by cold or dampness, such as joint pain, digestive weakness, and certain reproductive conditions.

Moxibustion works especially well as part of a comprehensive TCM plan that may include acupuncture, herbal medicine, and moxibustion — all customized to your pattern diagnosis.
