Moxibustion Therapy for Circulation, Immunity, and Vitality

Coming in December 2025 - Contact us to learn more

Moxibustion is an herbal warming therapy used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to stimulate circulation, enhance immune function, and dispel cold and dampness from the body. This gentle, smoke-based treatment is often used in tandem with acupuncture to improve energy flow and support healing. 

At Boston Massage and Bodywork, our trained practitioners apply moxa (dried mugwort) to acupuncture points to provide soothing warmth and therapeutic benefit.

Moxibustion involves burning moxa either directly above the skin or on the end of acupuncture needles to gently warm specific points. The heat penetrates deep into the body, opening channels and encouraging the smooth flow of qi (vital energy).

It is especially useful in conditions involving pain, fatigue, menstrual issues, or cold sensitivity.

Clients may find moxibustion beneficial for:

• Improving circulation and relieving pain
• Strengthening immunity
• Warming the uterus and supporting fertility
• Reducing inflammation and cold stagnation
• Easing fatigue and boosting low energy

Moxibustion is safe, effective, and deeply relaxing. It’s an ideal complement to acupuncture or herbal treatments for those seeking a well-rounded, holistic approach.
