Heat- Therapy

MOXIBUXION

 

Moxibustion is a traditional form of heat therapy rooted in East Asian medicine, where warmth is applied near specific acupuncture points to support circulation, relieve muscular tension, and enhance physiological function. At Female Holistic Health, we use smokeless moxibustion sticks, offering all the therapeutic benefits of this ancient practice without the discomfort or odor of traditional burning moxa. These refined sticks allow for a cleaner, safer experience while still delivering deep-penetrating, therapeutic heat to targeted areas of the body (Lee et al., 2010).

In women’s health, moxibustion is particularly valuable for enhancing blood flow to the lower abdomen and pelvic region, making it an effective support for conditions such as menstrual cramps, ovarian insufficiency, and uterine stagnation (Zhang et al., 2010). The warming effect nourishes the reproductive organs, disperses internal cold, and stimulates the flow of Qi (vital energy), which can promote hormonal balance and reproductive vitality (Xu et al., 2013). Studies have shown that this gentle thermal therapy can improve microcirculation, reduce inflammation, and support natural tissue repair. As part of a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan, moxibustion is often combined with acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle changes—creating a synergistic effect that supports both immediate relief and long-term health transformation.
