Li Duggan Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine

Moxibustion

Moxibustion involves burning a cone or stick of Moxa, made of ground mugwort leaves on or near the body’s acupuncture points or meridians. The resulting aroma and heat stimulate the flow of blood and Qi 气 to the treated area. As a result it can help with a range of health issues, such as chronic pain, digestive disorder or infertility.

Treatment Method

Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves burning dried mugwort (moxa) near specific acupuncture points on the body. Moxa’s warmth boosts blood flow, qi flow, and the body’s natural healing.

Moxa sticks or cones are burned directly on the skin (indirect moxibustion) or a short distance away to gently heat it. This safe, non-invasive technique is commonly paired with acupuncture for better outcomes.

I cannot recommend Li Duggan enough! I’ve been seeing her for acupuncture to help with stubborn sinus problems and pressure headaches. She is incredibly skilled, professional, and attentive. Li is wonderful—I'm so glad I found her!

Li is an exceptionally gifted acupuncturist. From the first session, I felt I was in the hands of a true master of their craft. Kind, patient, and sincere, and takes the time to listen and understand what you need. I’m so grateful to have found Li and would recommend to anyone without hesitation.

I started acupuncture hoping to manage issues I was having following a major medical event. Li's knowledge & guidance has helped me better understand how important circulation is to bodily function and recovery. I would highly recommend. Thank you Li. D

I had a really positive experience at this acupuncture clinic. I visited previously for my shoulder pain and was very happy with the overall experience, so I didn’t hesitate to bring my dad in when he was having problems with his ankle. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and well looked after. The service was professional, friendly, and reassuring, and everything was explained clearly throughout the process. I would highly recommend this acupuncture clinic to anyone looking for a friendly and professional service. Thank you for making both of our experiences so positive!

I attended Li earlier this year with Cartilage problems in my Knees. She improved my circulation which I got major relief from. She was very efficient and professional. I highly recommend Li.

Li is an extremely talented practitioner and a lovely person. I have been attending her on and off for three years for a number of issues and I have always found that her sessions make a huge difference. She is incredibly knowledgeable and really takes the time to talk about everything that’s going on and to explain what she thinks is happening and why. I have recommended Li to all my friends and have no doubt she’s the best acupuncturist around.
