Moxibustion NYC – Expert Moxibustion Treatment in NYC

Value of Moxibustion: Enhancing Your Health Naturally

Moxibustion promotes natural healing by stimulating the flow of Qi and blood, supporting your body’s innate healing processes and helping you recover more efficiently from illnesses and injuries.

The warmth from moxibustion promotes better blood flow, aiding in the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues, which enhances circulation. By stimulating specific points, moxibustion may strengthen your body’s natural defense mechanisms, effectively boosting immunity.

This therapy can also regulate menstrual and reproductive health. Moxibustion has been traditionally used to address menstrual irregularities, cramps, and even assist in turning breech babies by warming specific energy channels. By boosting energy and vitality, regular moxibustion sessions can enhance your energy levels, combat fatigue, and improve overall vitality, making daily activities more manageable.

Moxibustion strengthens digestive health by warming the digestive system, alleviating issues like indigestion, diarrhea, and stomach pains, and promoting smoother digestive functions. It also supports respiratory health, helping to relieve symptoms of asthma, bronchitis, and common colds by dispersing cold and warming the lungs.

It is also effective in alleviating pain and inflammation. It can reduce discomfort associated with arthritis, muscle stiffness, and chronic pain. By harmonizing the flow of Qi, moxibustion contributes to overall well-being and vitality, balancing your energy.

Our Moxibustion Services

Direct Moxibustion

Direct moxibustion involves placing a small, cone-shaped amount of moxa directly on the skin at specific acupuncture points. The moxa is lit and allowed to burn until it warms the area, then removed before causing discomfort. This method allows for precise targeting of acupuncture points to stimulate healing.

Indirect Moxibustion

Indirect moxibustion is a safer and widely used method where moxa is burned near the skin without direct contact. This includes:

Moxa Stick (Stick Moxibustion): A cigar-shaped moxa stick is lit and held close to the treatment area to transmit heat. The practitioner moves the stick in a circular motion or holds it over the point until the area becomes pleasantly warm.

Moxa on Acupuncture Needle: Moxa is placed on the handle of an inserted acupuncture needle, allowing heat to travel down the needle into the body. This combination enhances the effects of acupuncture by adding the therapeutic warmth of moxibustion.

What to Expect During Your Moxibustion Session

Your moxibustion session begins with an initial consultation where we’ll discuss your medical history, current health concerns, and wellness objectives. This conversation allows us to craft a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Once your session begins, you’ll be escorted to one of our tranquil treatment rooms designed to provide a calming atmosphere with soothing music and aromatherapy. Our practitioners will then apply moxibustion using the method best suited to your needs, ensuring your comfort throughout the session. You’ll experience a pleasant warmth as the moxa works to stimulate healing.

After your treatment, we’ll offer aftercare guidance, providing recommendations on how to maintain and enhance the benefits of your session at home. We’re always available to address any questions or concerns you may have.
