Moxibustion

Light the Flame of Inner Healing

Moxibustion gently warms the body with therapeutic herbs to boost immunity, improve circulation, and move stagnant energy — helping you feel more grounded, vital, and alive.

What Is Moxibustion?

Moxibustion is a traditional East Asian therapy that involves burning dried mugwort (moxa) near specific acupuncture points to stimulate healing. The radiant heat and herbal properties penetrate deep into the body, promoting circulation, nourishing the organs, and gently moving blocked energy (Qi).

At Mountains of Hope, we use smokeless, high-quality moxa and offer both direct and indirect applications — always tailored to your needs. It’s a soothing, sacred practice that complements both physical and emotional healing.

What It Helps Treat

  • Cold, damp, or stagnant conditions in the body
  • Digestive weakness and poor elimination
  • Immune system support and chronic fatigue
  • Menstrual or hormonal imbalances
  • Joint pain or inflammation
  • Energetic “stuckness” or emotional heaviness

It’s particularly helpful for guests who feel depleted, cold, or energetically disconnected.

How It Works at Mountains of Hope

Your session begins with a short consultation to identify key acupoints and energetic patterns. Depending on your needs, moxa may be:

  • Held above the skin at key meridian points to warm the area
  • Placed on acupuncture needles to intensify therapeutic effects
  • Gently applied with moxa sticks in circular or stationary patterns
  • Used in combination with massage, acupuncture, or reflexology

Each treatment lasts 30–45 minutes in a quiet, peaceful room.

Tired of treatments that weaken your immune system instead of strengthening it?
