Sessions typically last between 30 to 60 minutes, and many clients find the experience to be deeply relaxing.

The number of moxibustion sessions required varies depending on the individual and the condition being treated. Some clients experience significant relief after just one session, while others may need multiple treatments to achieve the desired results. Our practitioners will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan based on your specific health needs.

Moxibustion helps with pain relief by improving blood circulation and stimulating the flow of qi (vital energy) through the body. The heat generated by the burning moxa penetrates deeply into the muscles and tissues, reducing inflammation and relaxing tight muscles. This can provide effective relief for chronic pain conditions such as arthritis, back pain, and muscle soreness.
