Moxibustion

What it is

A traditional practice in which the herb mugwort is warmed near specific points on the body to bring gentle heat, often used together with acupuncture within Chinese medicine.

What a session is like

The practitioner warms chosen points with the smoldering herb held just above the skin, creating a penetrating warmth. It's usually calming and painless, and may be combined with needles in the same visit.

Every practitioner works in their own way — your first conversation clarifies length, approach, and what's right for you.

Who it's for

People drawn to warming, traditional treatments, often as part of a broader Chinese medicine approach.
