Do you suffer from deep-seated pain or stiffness that just won’t go away?
Moxibustion (Moxatherapy) is an ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine technique that uses the heat generated by burning the herb mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) to stimulate acupuncture points and areas of tension. Unlike other heat sources, moxa emits infrared radiation that penetrates deeply into the tissues, promoting blood circulation, dissipating internal "cold," and strengthening the body's vital energy (Qi).

It is a deeply soothing therapy, ideal for those seeking relief from chronic pain, profound muscle relaxation, and a boost to the immune system.

Main Benefits
- Chronic Pain Relief: Excellent for lower back, neck, and joint issues aggravated by cold or humidity.
- Vitality Boost: Combats chronic fatigue and physical weakness, reinvigorating the body.
- Deep Relaxation: The constant warmth helps reduce anxiety and accumulated muscle tension.
- Improved Circulation: Stimulates blood flow and drainage, aiding in tissue recovery.

Service Details
Application can be performed directly or indirectly (using a moxa stick or box), depending on the therapeutic goal:

1. Does Moxibustion burn the skin?
A: No. When applied by qualified professionals, the technique is completely safe. Heat is controlled by adjusting the distance of the moxa stick or through the use of therapeutic boxes, ensuring the skin receives only a deep, comforting warmth without any risk of burns.

2. Are the smoke and odor of mugwort very strong?
A: The burning of the mugwort herb releases a characteristic aroma, similar to natural incense, which is part of the therapeutic process. However, for participants with respiratory or olfactory sensitivity, smokeless (carbonized) moxa is available, which maintains thermal effectiveness without releasing smoke or odor.

3. What are the main indications for this therapy?
A: Moxibustion is particularly effective for pain conditions that worsen with cold or humidity, such as osteoarthritis, lower back pain, muscle contractures, and joint stiffness. It is also indicated to combat extreme fatigue, digestive issues, and to strengthen the immune system.

4. Are there any contraindications?
A: Yes. Application should be avoided in cases of fever, acute inflammation with localized heat, open wounds, skin diseases in the area to be treated, or for individuals with severe uncontrolled hypertension. For pregnant women, the technique is applied with caution and under professional guidance.

5. What is the difference between a Localized Session and a Full Body Session?
A: The Localized Session (30 min) focuses exclusively on a specific point of pain or discomfort (e.g., a knee or the neck area). The Full Body Session (1h) works on several energy meridians simultaneously, making it ideal for general revitalization of the body and deep relaxation.

6. How many sessions should I have?
A: For acute pain, relief is usually felt in the very first session. For the treatment of chronic conditions or immune system weakness, a cycle of 3 to 5 weekly sessions is generally recommended to consolidate the effects of the accumulated heat and vital energy.
