Moxa Therapy

30 minBodyMind AcuBalance

Service Description

Moxa is a traditional Chinese therapy that involves burning dried mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) near the skin. It is used to promote healing, relieve pain, and improve blood circulation. The heat and the specific properties of the herb break up obstructions and stimulates the body's energy flow and balance. Moxa is also famously used to increase energy and vitalize the metabolic and immune systems. Moxibustion generates heat during its application, and this thermal stimulation is thought to play a significant role in its therapeutic effects. The heat produced by moxibustion can affect both superficial and deep tissues of the skin. This thermal effect is believed to influence the flow of qi (energy) and blood in the meridians, promoting balance and healing. Research has identified various compounds in mugwort leaves and moxa smoke, many of which exhibit a range of biological activities. These compounds are thought to contribute to the comprehensive effects of moxibustion. Some of these compounds may have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and analgesic properties. The warm-heat effects of moxibustion are believed to be related to specific receptors in the body. These receptors, such as warm receptors and polymodal receptors, may respond to the thermal stimulation produced by moxibustion.
