Moxibustion (Moxa)
Moxibustion, or moxa, is an ancient Eastern Medicine therapy that involves burning the herb mugwort to promote healing and restore balance in the body. The warmth generated by the burning moxa stimulates acupuncture points, improving the flow of Qi (energy) and blood throughout the body. This therapy has been used for centuries to treat a wide range of conditions, including many that are difficult to address with conventional Western medicine. Moxibustion is known for its ability to dispel cold, reduce pain, and enhance overall health and vitality.
What to Expect During Your First Visit
At your first visit to Vitality Wellness, we provide a personalized and comprehensive assessment of your health needs. It begins with an initial consultation, where we gather detailed information about your health history, symptoms, and lifestyle to identify any underlying imbalances. Following this, a physical examination is performed, often using traditional diagnostic tools such as pulse and tongue diagnosis. Based on these insights, our practitioner will develop a customized treatment plan that may include moxibustion. During the moxa session, dried mugwort is burned near specific acupuncture points, generating heat that penetrates deeply into the body. This process helps to enhance Qi and blood circulation, alleviate pain, and promote overall healing.
