Moxibustion

Moxibustion can be performed directly on the skin (it is removed before it has a chance to burn the skin), by using a moxa rolled up in stick form that is held close to the skin, or with a liquid/balm applied to the skin with a heat lamp.  The patient experiences a gentle warming sensation.  At Healing Lotus Acupuncture, we mainly use the liquid moxa to avoid a lot of smoke in the air.

Moxibustion is used to increase circulation by warming and moving the Qi and Blood in the body. This is a great modality to help with gynecological issues, including infertility.  It can even help to turn a breeched baby!

* Please note:  We only provide moxibustion as an add-on to acupuncture treatments, not as an individual service.
