Moxibustion is a very warm and relaxing addition to an acupuncture treatment and is often used instead of acupuncture for those who are especially sensitive to needles. In fact, there are some properties to moxibustion that exceed the capabilities of acupuncture needles. Depending on the condition being treated, we might use more moxibustion than acupuncture or vice versa.

Moxibustion supplies are available for purchase in our office.
