What is Moxibustion Acupuncture?

Moxibustion acupuncture is a powerful combination of traditional Chinese medicine practices that promotes healing, pain relief, and overall wellness. At Coastal Sports And Wellness, we are proud to offer this holistic therapy to help our patients improve their health naturally and effectively.

Moxibustion involves burning a herb called mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) near specific acupuncture points. The heat and medicinal properties of mugwort enhance the effects of acupuncture, stimulating circulation, easing pain, and restoring balance in the body’s energy, or Qi.

How Does Moxibustion Acupuncture Work?

During a moxibustion acupuncture session, a trained practitioner applies heat from burning mugwort directly or indirectly to targeted acupuncture points. This can be done using:

Direct moxibustion (on the skin or with a barrier)

Indirect moxibustion (with acupuncture needles or a moxa stick)

The warmth penetrates deeply, promoting blood flow and relieving stagnation — two major causes of pain and discomfort in the body.

Key Benefits of Moxibustion Acupuncture

Many patients at Coastal Sports And Wellness report significant improvements after integrating moxibustion acupuncture into their wellness plans. The benefits include:

Pain Relief: Eases chronic and acute pain, especially in the back, joints, and muscles.

Boosts Immunity: Helps stimulate the immune system, making you less prone to illness.

Improved Digestion: Often used to treat digestive issues like bloating or nausea.

Better Circulation: Promotes healthy blood flow and reduces inflammation.

Relieves Menstrual Issues: Effective for irregular periods, cramps, and fertility support.

Stress Reduction: Helps calm the nervous system and improve sleep.
