MOXA THERAPY MELBOURNE
Moxibustion Benefits
Moxibustion, or moxa, offers warmth and a gentle nudge to your body's natural healing power. By burning the mugwort herb, either in cones placed on the skin or rolled into sticks, moxa delivers a targeted dose of heat to specific points. This warmth stimulates blood flow, improves energy circulation, and alleviates pain and discomfort.
