At Health Acupuncture, we offer moxibustion therapy as a calming, warmth-based approach as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine practice. This gentle technique uses the heat from a dried herb called moxa to warm certain areas of the body, which assists you to feel more at ease.
If you have been considering moxibustion treatment or simply want to explore Chinese Medicine to support your well-being, our team at Blacktown, NSW is here to help you understand it even better.
Moxibustion is a traditional method that involves using a dried herb called mugwort (also known as “moxa”) close to the skin. The warmth from the herb is used to gently warm certain areas of the body, and is often used alongside acupuncture to support overall wellbeing.
There are two types of moxibustion therapy that we use at Health Acupuncture: the Chinese and Japanese techniques. Chinese techniques often use larger amounts of moxa and apply stronger heat to the area, while Japanese techniques generally use smaller amounts of moxa with a gentler, more precise application.
For more information about these, it’s best to ask for support from our qualified practitioner for a more informed decision.
At Health Acupuncture, we use indirect moxibustion, where you feel a gentle, warming sensation in the area where it’s applied. Many patients find the warmth soothing and relaxing.

However, it’s crucial to note that moxibustion therapy is not a cure or primary treatment for medical conditions. Instead, it may be used as a complementary therapy within a broader care plan, especially when guided by qualified, AHPRA-registered practitioners.
When you visit our moxibustion clinic in Blacktown, we start with a consultation about your condition, including your needs and goals. If we see that moxibustion is suitable, will explain how the therapy works and apply the moxa.
The dried herb is placed and allowed to smoulder, giving off a warming sensation. You may notice a soft heat and herbal smell, which many people find comforting.
We always personalise treatment and check in with you during your session.
