Moxibustion
If you are looking to improve circulation, relieve pain, or address cold-related conditions, Dr. Tang offers professional moxibustion treatment in Dubai.
Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy that applies gentle heat to specific acupuncture points to stimulate the body’s energy flow, or Qi. The treatment uses moxa, a cone or stick made from ground mugwort leaves or other medicinal herbs. The practitioner burns the moxa either directly on the skin or near the acupuncture points, allowing the warming heat and therapeutic properties of the herbs to transfer into the body.
Each session typically lasts 10 to 40 minutes, depending on your individual needs. By promoting the flow of Qi through the body’s meridians, moxibustion can help manage chronic pain, digestive issues, fatigue, and other health concerns, supporting overall wellness, balance, and vitality.
Moxibustion Treatment in Dubai
What is Moxibustion?
Moxibustion is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapy that uses heat from burning dried mugwort (moxa) to stimulate circulation and Qi flow. Practitioners choose different methods depending on the patient’s condition and treatment goals.
This ancient technique is often used alongside acupuncture to enhance the healing process, especially for conditions involving "cold" or "dampness" in the body.
How Practitioners Perform Moxibustion
Key Methods
Indirect Moxibustion
The most common method. A lit moxa stick is held about an inch from the skin over an acupuncture point until the skin turns warm.
Direct Moxibustion
Small cones of moxa are placed directly on the skin. The practitioner removes them once warmth is felt to ensure safety.
Needle Moxibustion
Moxa is attached to the handle of an acupuncture needle, transferring heat directly into the point.
The General Process
- Identify Points: Selecting specific points based on symptoms like fatigue or pain.
- Ignite Moxa: Lighting the moxa stick, cone, or box to produce healing heat.
- Apply Heat: Warming the meridians to improve flow and relieve tension.
- Monitor Comfort: Constant supervision to ensure a relaxing, burn-free experience.
- Duration: Typically 10–40 minutes per session.
