Moxibustion
Focused therapeutic warmth using dried mugwort, often paired with acupuncture.
The Anchor Flow approach
Focused therapeutic warmth using dried mugwort, often paired with acupuncture.
Moxibustion is a traditional East Asian medicine technique that warms selected acupuncture points using prepared mugwort. Depending on the plan, heat may be applied indirectly with a moxa stick, over a protective medium or with a smokeless warming device.
Patients often choose moxibustion when warmth feels soothing or when an acupuncture plan calls for additional thermal stimulation. The method and intensity are carefully controlled.
Good care starts with fit. An appointment can help you decide whether this service—or another kind of support—is the right next step.
What to knowClear expectations,
Clear expectations,
before you arrive.
What your visit may include
- Rupali reviews sensation, heat tolerance, skin and relevant health history.
- The selected point or area is protected and monitored continuously.
- Warmth should feel comfortable—never sharp, burning or overwhelming.
- The room is ventilated, and smokeless options are available when appropriate.
Safety & screening
Moxibustion is avoided over numb or damaged skin and may not be appropriate for fever, certain inflammatory conditions, smoke sensitivity or impaired heat sensation. Burns are a risk when performed improperly; do not attempt direct moxibustion without trained guidance.
