MOXIBUSTION THERAPY GALWAY

Therapeutic Warmth. Deep Circulation. Restored Flow.

Moxibustion is a traditional therapy used within Chinese Medicine that applies therapeutic heat to specific acupuncture points using dried mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris).

The warmth penetrates deeply into muscles and meridians, improving circulation, easing tension, and restoring internal balance. It is especially beneficial for conditions associated with cold, deficiency, stagnation, or low energy.

At Element Acupuncture Galway, moxibustion may be used on its own or combined with acupuncture depending on your presentation.
