Ever heard of Moxa?
Most people haven't... until they see it in a treatment room and ask, "Wait... what's that smell?" 😂
Moxibustion (or "Moxa") is a traditional therapy used in Chinese medicine that involves burning a compressed herb called mugwort near specific acupuncture points to provide gentle, penetrating warmth.
For centuries, Moxa has been used to help support:
🌿 Circulation
🌿 Energy flow (Qi)
🌿 Digestion
🌿 Pain relief
🌿 Muscle tension
🌿 Overall wellness
And one area where Moxa is especially well-known?
💛 Fertility support.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, warmth and circulation are often considered important components of reproductive health. Moxa is frequently used alongside acupuncture as part of a personalized fertility wellness plan to help support the body's natural balance and optimize overall reproductive wellness.
Many patients find the treatment deeply relaxing and describe the warmth as soothing, comforting, and restorative.
And yes... it definitely has a smell 😂
At MAW, Moxa is just one of the many tools we may use to support your unique health journey.
