Moxibustion
The natural way to a healthier you
Enhance Qi and blood flow, expel cold dampness, and strengthen the immune system
1. High-temperature heating of moxa
Moxa is made from mugwort leaves that are used in moxibustion, a traditional Chinese medicine to produce heat and stimulate acupuncture points.
2. Moxibustion in conjunction with cupping
Moxibustion cupping is a powerful combination of two ancient healing methods that work together to enhance the body’s natural healing ability.
3. TDP therapeutic infrared heat lamp
Heat lamps use far infrared energy for deep tissue stimulation, promoting relaxation, increased circulation, pain relief and anti-aging benefits.
Moxibustion
1. Beauty and Nourishment
Through the warm stimulation and pharmacological effects of moxibustion, the treated area noticeably becomes congested, making the skin rosy and lustrous. At the same time, it can inhibit and kill bacteria, rejuvenating tissues, reducing the appearance of wrinkles over time, and achieving the effect of delaying skin aging.
2. Warming and Activating Meridians
Moxibustion accelerates tissue metabolism, allowing inflammation to be rapidly expelled from the body. It also regulates neural excitability, suppressing over-excited nerves, thus achieving pain relief and warming and activating the meridians. It can also regulate symptoms in women such as painful menstruation and menstrual irregularities.
3. Regulating the Spleen and Stomach
The primary acupoints for moxibustion to regulate the spleen and stomach are Spleen Shu, Zhongwan, and Zusanli. Regular moxibustion on these points warms and activates the meridians, supports the body’s yang energy, dispels pathogenic influences, and restores the normal function of the spleen and stomach, thereby achieving the effect of regulating them.
4. Disease Prevention and Health Maintenance
In addition to treating diseases, moxibustion also has preventive and health-maintaining effects. It can stimulate the body’s vital energy, enhancing resistance to disease, making one energetic and long-lived. Moxibustion at Zusanli, Baihui, and other points can also reduce blood clotting, lower blood lipids, and cholesterol.
5. Expelling Cold Pathogens
The nature of mugwort leaves is warm. When ignited for moxibustion, the heat can penetrate deeply into the muscle layers, dispelling cold pathogens. This includes symptoms of exogenous cold and signs of middle burner deficiency cold like vomiting and diarrhea. Moxibustion can help disperse these cold symptoms, improving areas of ischemia and malnutrition.
6. Dissipating Blood Stasis and Dispersing Masses
When the body’s blood flow is not smooth, it can lead to blood clotting together, forming blood stasis. If blood stasis is not expelled in time, it may eventually lead to diseases. Moxibustion can make the meridians unobstructed and function normally, achieving the effect of dissipating blood stasis, promoting blood circulation, and relieving pain.
