Moxibustion (Moxa)

Healing • Prevention • Maintenance

Warm the body. Restore the flow. Strengthen vitality.

Moxibustion is a traditional therapy within Chinese Medicine that involves the gentle application of heat to specific acupuncture points using the herb mugwort.

This deeply warming technique is used to stimulate circulation, strengthen the body’s energy (Qi), and dispel cold and stagnation—common underlying factors in many conditions.

As part of Delphine’s offerings, moxibustion is thoughtfully integrated into treatments on an intuitive, individualized basis. Each session is guided by what your body needs most in the moment, ensuring that moxa is used where it will be most effective and supportive.

Moxa is both grounding and invigorating. It brings warmth where there is deficiency, movement where there is stagnation, and support where the body feels depleted.

Circulation & Cold Conditions

Healing • Prevention • Maintenance

Bring warmth back to the body. When the body runs cold, circulation slows and systems become less efficient. Moxibustion helps to:

  • Warm the meridians and internal organs
  • Improve blood and Qi circulation
  • Relieve cold-related pain and stiffness
  • Support those who feel chronically cold or fatigued

This is especially helpful for individuals who experience cold hands and feet, low energy, or symptoms that worsen in colder environments.

Women’s Health & Fertility

Healing • Prevention • Maintenance

Nourish, regulate, and support. Moxa is commonly used in women’s health, particularly where cold or deficiency is present. It may support:

  • Menstrual irregularities
  • Painful periods
  • Fertility and reproductive health
  • Pregnancy support (in specific, guided cases)

By improving circulation and warming the body, moxa helps create a more balanced internal environment.

What Can Moxibustion Help With?

Moxa is especially beneficial for conditions rooted in cold, deficiency, or sluggish circulation. Its effects are both local and systemic, making it a versatile and powerful addition to treatment.

Pain Relief & Muscular Tension

Healing • Prevention • Maintenance

Where there is warmth, there is flow. Cold and stagnation often contribute to pain, tightness, and limited mobility. Moxa can:

  • Penetrate deeply to relax muscles and tissues
  • Reduce chronic aches and stiffness
  • Support joint health, including arthritis
  • Enhance the effects of acupuncture and bodywork

The gentle heat helps the body release tension while encouraging natural healing processes.

Immune Support & Prevention

Healing • Prevention • Maintenance

Build resilience from within. Moxibustion is not only used for treatment—it is also a powerful preventative tool. It helps to:

  • Strengthen the body’s defensive Qi
  • Support immune function
  • Increase overall vitality and resilience
  • Reduce susceptibility to illness

Regular use can help maintain balance and protect against seasonal or chronic imbalances.

Digestive & Metabolic Support

Healing • Prevention • Maintenance

Strengthen the body from the core. In TCM, digestive strength is central to overall health. When digestion is weak or “cold,” symptoms may arise. Moxibustion can help to:

  • Strengthen digestive function
  • Improve nutrient absorption
  • Reduce bloating and sluggish digestion
  • Support healthy metabolism

By warming the digestive system, the body becomes more efficient at transforming food into energy.

A Deeply Nourishing Therapy

Moxibustion is often described as a comforting, deeply restorative experience.

Within Delphine’s treatments, it may be used:
• On its own
• Alongside acupuncture
• Combined with other techniques such as cupping or bodywork

Each session is tailored with care, blending clinical knowledge with intuitive insight to support your unique healing process.

Supporting the Body with Warmth & Intention

In a world where many people feel depleted, cold, or overextended, moxa offers something simple and powerful: warmth.

Whether you are:
• Managing pain or chronic conditions
• Supporting digestion or hormonal balance
• Strengthening your immune system
• Or seeking a deeply grounding treatment

Moxibustion provides a gentle yet effective way to restore balance and vitality—guided by what your body needs most.
