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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been attending Li for an ongoing rotator cuff problem that I had received cortisone injections for, but without success. I had heard of Li from a number of people and decided to try acupuncture. From my first visit  Li listened to my problems, questioning where precisely my pain was and giving me acupuncture, cupping and Moxia treatment with great success. She also gave me great advice on taking better care of myself to help ease my osteoarthritis problems which I have put into effect and has helped so much.

Li is incredible, seems to have an insight I haven’t come across before and have undergone a lot of acupuncture sessions over the years. I trust her implicitly and it is obvious to anyone who encounters her that her first priority is to help and find a real solution

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had 3 sessions of acupuncture with Li. She is extremely attentive and knowledgeable. Li takes the time to listen, explain what she’s doing, and check in throughout the session to make sure you’re comfortable. Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can highly recommend Li. I’ve been experiencing chronic tendinitis and related shoulder injuries from swimming for a number of years and it is the acupuncture and cupping treatments from Li which have finally solved these problems. Li is exceptionally professional and knowledgeable and provides a very holistic approach to assessing and treating me.
