Moxibustion is a Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment that uses the controlled warmth of dried mugwort, known as moxa, over specific acupuncture points. This gentle therapy helps stimulate circulation, relax tense muscles, and support the body’s natural healing process.

Moxibustion may be performed independently or combined with acupuncture to create a personalized treatment based on your symptoms and wellness goals
