Moxa is a gentle heat therapy in which dried mugwort herb (Artemisia vulgaris) is made to glow in a controlled manner. The resulting, deeply penetrating heat is directed specifically at certain body regions or acupuncture points. It has a relaxing effect, promotes circulation and can harmonize the flow of energy in the body. Moxa combines the beneficial effect of heat with the targeted stimulation of biologically active points.

How Moxa Works

The thermal stimuli penetrate into deeper tissue layers and stimulate metabolism, blood and lymph circulation there. Improved blood circulation allows the tissue to be better supplied with oxygen, muscle tension loosens, and the immune system is stimulated. Heat is perceived by the body as a signal of safety – it calms the nervous system and supports natural self-regulation.
