Heat therapy
Moxa can be used in several forms, held at a safe distance from the skin or combined with a needle in a controlled setting. The intended sensation is gradual, comfortable warmth.
The treatment in practice
The practitioner always checks contraindications and adjusts duration and intensity to the person’s sensitivity.

Moxibustion in zone locale uses carefully controlled mugwort heat near selected points. It may be the main technique in an appointment or complement acupuncture when the assessment and the person’s sensitivity make it appropriate.
Before application, the practitioner explains the equipment, protects the skin and checks thermal comfort regularly. Distance, intensity and duration are adjusted throughout. You can immediately report heat that feels too strong or any uncomfortable sensation.
Reduced sensitivity, certain skin conditions, fever or smoke intolerance require particular care. The preliminary consultation helps select an appropriate form of moxa or another technique when the safety conditions are not met.
