Moxa Sticks

A moxa stick is a roll of moxa that can be burnt like a cigar. The hot end of the stick is moved around near the relevant area or acupuncture points. It is used to gently warm a larger area than moxa cones and has a more gentle effect. Moxa sticks may be used for a large range of conditions from a bad knee to turning breech position babies.

Massage

Massage is sometimes used by acupuncturists in conjunction with needles. We use simple techniques to loosen the muscles and move the Qi. A particular Chinese massage oil is used that is infused with herbs chosen for their therapeutic effects.
