Moxibustion is a technique rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that uses the heat from burning a plant called mugwort to stimulate healing. At Acupuncture Atelier, we apply this technique near specific acupuncture points to activate circulation, relax muscles, and promote a deep, internal warmth that eases discomfort.

The warmth generated by moxibustion increases blood flow, which helps the body repair damaged tissue and reduce inflammation. It can be especially helpful for those who suffer from cold sensations, joint stiffness, or chronic pain conditions.

How Does Acupuncture Atelier Use Moxibustion?

We take an individualized approach to care. During your session, we assess whether moxibustion is appropriate for your symptoms and may pair it with acupuncture for even greater benefit. If you’re dealing with low energy, cold limbs, or persistent aches, moxibustion may complement your wellness plan perfectly.

Our trained moxibustion professionals apply moxa safely and effectively, using direct and indirect techniques depending on your comfort level and needs. Clients often describe the experience as deeply soothing, leaving pain-free, refreshed, and balanced.

What Are the Benefits of Moxibustion Therapy?

Moxibustion is a powerful healing technique that offers numerous benefits, especially when it comes to pain relief and providing the body with essential warmth. At Acupuncture Atelier, we frequently incorporate moxibustion into personalized treatment plans to address both chronic and acute health concerns through a holistic lens.

One of the most appreciated benefits of moxibustion is its ability to reduce chronic pain. The gentle heat from burning mugwort penetrates deep into the muscle tissue, relaxing stiffness and relieving discomfort caused by arthritis, old injuries, or long-term tension. It’s especially helpful for people who experience pain worsened by cold, damp environments or conditions that cause muscle fatigue.

Beyond muscular relief, moxibustion is a natural way to support digestive health. The warming effect of moxibustion improves circulation to the abdominal region, aiding in the reduction of bloating, cramping, and sluggish digestion. Clients often report smoother digestion and more consistent bowel function after a series of treatments.
Immune support is another vital benefit. Moxibustion’s warming nature helps energize the body’s defenses, making it an ideal therapy during seasonal transitions or for those prone to frequent colds. By improving circulation and promoting the flow of Qi, moxibustion enhances the body’s ability to resist illness.

In women’s health, moxibustion has been used for centuries to promote menstrual and reproductive balance. At Acupuncture Atelier, we use it to improve uterine circulation, relieve menstrual cramps, and support fertility by warming the womb and reducing stagnation in the pelvic area. This therapy is also beneficial for postpartum care, providing comfort, restoring energy, and gently supporting hormonal balance.

Overall, moxibustion aligns perfectly with our holistic philosophy—treating not just the symptom but the entire person. Whether you’re seeking pain relief, internal warmth, or general wellness, our moxibustion treatments are designed to restore comfort, energy, and balance to your life.
