Experts' Insights on Moxibustion

Kat M. Lui, MSOM, LAc & IST Practitioner – Wise Mountain Medicine

"Numerous clinical studies show that moxibustion increases white blood cells, produces infrared heat, increases hemoglobin and thus is great for boosting immune health.

In more specific Chinese Medicine terms, moxa is generally said to:

  • warm meridians and expel cold and damp. This is great for anyone who lives in cold climates or tends to get chilled easily.
  • induce the smooth flow of qi and blood and move stasis. This can be applied for people who feel a bit stuck, physically, or emotionally.
  • tonify yang and strengthen yang from collapse. Think of people who are overstressed, fatigued, and low energy, these are the folks who could use a yang boost.
  • prevent disease and maintain health."

Dr. Clair Hamilton, ND, LAc

Naturopathic Doctor & Licensed Acupuncturist

"Moxibustion is often incorporated into a treatment when symptoms are due to an overall lack of energy or deficiency. So for people who experience more health issues when they feel depleted or fatigued and have difficulty rebuilding their stamina, moxa is a great therapeutic tool.

For those that need a scient-oriented explanation, consider that there are specific and very sensitive neural receptors just beneath the skin called heat-activated transient receptors that have specific balancing effects on the immune system.  Interestingly, these heat receptors that are in the upper levels of the skin are best activated with warm (but not hot) gentle temperatures (38-41 degrees Celcius). Often the idea that gentle and comfortable treatments can be effective defies conditioned beliefs that tend to rely on heroic or ‘more is more’ approaches, however the body’s nervous, immune, and pain receptors are set up to respond favorable to prolonged comfortable and balancing techniques."
