Moxibustion Treatment
Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy that involves the burning of mugwort herb, to facilitate warm healing energy and uplift drooping body areas. When combined with acupuncture, it can enhance the effectiveness of the treatment to patients. Novena uses moxibustion to treat any cold or abnormal downward energy in the body, such as frozen shoulder, prolapsed discs, and prolapsed uterus.
Mugwort (Artemisia argyi)
During a moxibustion session, Novena will either place a small amount of mugwort in a smoke box, or hold a handheld rolled-up stick of mugwort. She will select acupuncture points to be treated and light the mugwort, allowing it to smolder and produce a gentle smoke and pleasant scent. The heat and properties of the mugwort work together to warm and uplift the body’s energy, promoting healing.
Acupuncture and moxibustion treatments are conducted in a private room with open windows. The rooms are clean and well-ventilated. The privacy and safety of patients are ensured, they can enjoy a comfortable relaxing session on an ergonomic height-adjustable bed.
