 Moxibustion Moxibustion involves burning herbs to generate heat over your body, relieving pain and discomfort. At Synerqi
we use both moxa sticks and moxa on a needle to penetrate deep within
your meridians increasing blood flow to targeted areas, clearing
blockages and driving out cold found in your body. For instance you may
wake up in the morning with a stiff back. Here the cold in your back
blocks the circulation causing you pain. The combination therapy of
acupuncture and moxa on the needle will drive out the cold, increase
the circulation and relieve your pain. Cupping followed by massage will
then be implemented by Synerqi and herbs will be given which are warm
in nature and will help with the blood circulation in your lower back
thus increasing the therapeutic effects.It is an interesting fact that moxibustion
has several effective applications for gynecological health. It may
reduce menstrual cramps and associated muscular backaches and is known
to have a high success rate in the correction of breech presentation.
The Journal of the American Medical Association published a study in
1998, which found that 75% of woman with breech presentation
experienced a successful correction of the position of the fetus before
childbirth after receiving a specific moxibustion treatment. A Japanese
study published in the American Journal of Chinese Medicine in 2000
confirmed that moxibustion stimulation of acupuncture points is
effective in correcting breech positioning.In
the hands of a trained and licensed acupuncturist, moxibustion is a
safe and extremely effective therapy. Most people experience a warm and
relaxing sensation with this therapy. Moxibustion on acupuncture points
and meridians is frequently done with acupuncture treatments to treat
many types of ailments. |
