Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that has been used for thousands of years to promote healing and wellness. It involves the use of dried mugwort (artemisia vulgaris) that is burned either directly on the skin or indirectly above it to stimulate specific points on the body. This form of treatment is performed by Dr. Su at the Vancouver Acupuncture Clinic, where patients can experience the benefits of moxibustion as part of their holistic health plan.
Moxibustion is believed to stimulate circulation, improve the immune system, and balance the energy within the body. It is often used in combination with acupuncture to enhance its effectiveness and provide a more comprehensive treatment plan. Additionally, moxibustion has been found to be effective in treating a variety of conditions including menstrual cramps, joint pain, and digestive issues.
The burning of the mugwort creates warmth that is absorbed into the body and stimulates the flow of qi (life energy) to specific points. This not only helps to alleviate pain and discomfort, but also promotes healing and overall health. With the expertise of Dr. Su at the Vancouver Acupuncture Clinic, patients can be assured that they are receiving the highest quality care and guidance in their moxibustion treatment.
