Moxa warms vessels and dredges channels to clear stagnation, a cause of disharmony and disease.
Moxa, short for Moxibustion, is the application of the smoldering herb Artemisia on or above the skin to facilitate healing and maintain health.

How Moxa Works
Artemisia (Argyi or Vulgaris species) leaves are harvested, prepared, and dried for 3–5 years, creating a fluffy “wool” that is lit and allowed to smolder.
Processed leaves are rolled into sticks, balls, cones, or rice grains to warm specific areas.
The smoldering creates a unique slow-penetrating heat vapor that promotes the flow of energy, blood, and fluids to clear blockages that cause disease.
The heat, the herb, and the smoke are all essential components of the Moxibustion process.
Warm, herb-infused vapors enter the body via the skin and the breath to reduce pain, support the
immune and nervous systems, promote digestion, reduce fatigue, and more.
Moxa has a long history (5000 years) of being used with Acupuncture.
In fact, ancient medical texts reference that every disease Acupuncture can not treat, Moxa can treat.
Moxa is often utilized during your acupuncture session.
The warming and relaxing effects of short duration Moxa are beneficial; however, Moxa is most effective when applied for longer periods of time.

Pain reduction
Energy enhancement/ fatigue reduction
Digestive disorders/ IBS, diarrhea, constipation
