Traditional warming practice · Practitioner-led application
Moxa, also known as moxibustion, is a traditional heat-based practice involving moxa material applied near selected points under trained supervision. The method and distance from the skin must be controlled carefully.
Balance · Heal · ThriveThe approach
Every session should begin with a conversation and a clear explanation of the approach. Your comfort, informed consent and practitioner assessment guide the experience.
Moxa is traditionally prepared from mugwort and used to provide local warmth. Techniques differ, and any session should be explained by the practitioner before it begins, including whether smoke or direct/indirect heat will be involved.
A trained practitioner selects the approach and monitors heat, distance and skin response. You should be able to communicate throughout the session and ask for it to stop at any time.
Moxa may not be suitable for people with reduced heat sensation, certain skin conditions, respiratory sensitivity or other individual risks. Tell your practitioner about relevant conditions and sensitivities beforehand.
