Moxibustion (moxa) - a 2,000 Year Old Chinese Healing for Pain
Welcome to a deeply therapeutic experience that has been treasured in Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years. At Elysium Natural Therapies, we offer indirect moxibustion, a gentle, warming treatment that harnesses the healing properties of Mugwort, to restore balance, invigorate your body's natural energy, and promote profound relaxation and wellness.
What is Moxibustion?
Moxibustion is a traditional healing technique that involves burning dried mugwort (a medicinal herb) near specific points on the body to stimulate circulation, warm the meridians, and encourage the flow of qi (vital energy). In indirect moxibustion, the burning herb is held close to the skin but never touches it, creating a soothing warmth that penetrates deeply into the tissues without causing discomfort. This method is particularly valued for its safety and effectiveness in treating a wide range of health concerns, from chronic pain to digestive issues and beyond.
What is Moxibustion Used for?
Moxibustion is a versatile therapy that can address both acute and chronic conditions by warming and invigorating the body's energy pathways. It is particularly effective for conditions related to cold, stagnation, and deficiency in the body's vital energy. This ancient practice can help with:
Chronic pain conditions including arthritis, joint pain, and muscle stiffness
Digestive disorders such as bloating, diarrhea, and irritable bowel syndrome
Infertility & Menstrual irregularities including painful periods, irregular cycles, and PMS
Fatigue and weakness related to qi or blood deficiency
Breech presentation in pregnancy (to encourage proper fetal positioning)
