Warming Therapy to Restore Balance & Vital Energy
Moxibustion is a traditional healing therapy rooted in Chinese medicine that uses dried mugwort, known as moxa, to gently warm specific points on the body. These points often correspond with acupuncture points and are stimulated using controlled heat to encourage circulation, support the flow of Qi (vital energy), and activate the body’s natural healing response.
At Eight Branches Clinic & Apothecary in Midtown Toronto, moxibustion is offered as a standalone treatment or combined with acupuncture to help restore balance, relieve discomfort, and strengthen overall vitality. Its warming qualities make it particularly beneficial for conditions related to cold, stagnation, or low energy within the body.
Benefits of Moxibustion
Moxibustion supports the body by gently warming and stimulating internal systems that influence circulation, digestion, immunity, and energy levels. This therapy is often used to restore balance where cold or deficiency is present, helping the body function more efficiently. Regular moxibustion treatments can promote comfort, resilience, and sustained well-being.
