What exactly does the practitioner do?
Ankang Acupuncture Healing Centre is proud to offer the newest non-smoke digital moxibustion device to preform moxibustion therapy. In this method, the moxa material is compressed into a stick or pole that can be lit and allowed to smolder, producing a unique form of very penetrating heat.

The smoldering moxa stick is held over specific areas corresponding to certain acupuncture points.

What can I expect to feel?
It is common for patients receiving moxibustion to report a sudden flooding of warmth that quickly radiates along a specific pathway (usually corresponding with the meridian channel that is being treated) away from the site of application. This is good result, as it indicates the arrival of the Qi and signals that the flow of Qi and blood has been freed in the channel. You need to note therapist if it is too hot to tolerate!
