We love moxibustion

Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medical therapy that involves burning dried mugwort herb over specific points on the body to stimulate healing. Moxibustion is performed by a licensed acupuncturist or practitioner trained in this technique. The heat from the burning herb helps to increase blood flow, relieve pain, and boost immunity, making it a popular choice for those seeking alternative methods of treatment for a variety of health concerns. Whether you’re looking to relieve muscle tension, boost your overall health, or simply explore alternative treatments, moxibustion is worth considering.
