Moxibustion therapy
Ancient Chinese heat therapy, refined with modern comfort to support pain relief, circulation, women’s health, immunity, and deep relaxation.
Moxibustion Therapy in Cannington
At MyoFix Massage Therapy, we offer a dedicated Moxibustion Therapy service — a time-honoured Traditional Chinese Medicine practice that uses the gentle warmth of burned mugwort (艾草, Ai Cao) to stimulate acupuncture points, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural healing energy.
This soothing heat therapy helps to:
- Relieve stiffness, pain, and cold in the body
- Ease neck, shoulder, and back tension
- Improve digestion and metabolism
- Support women’s menstrual and fertility health
- Strengthen the immune system and restore energy balance
At Myofix, our therapists use modern, and temperature-controlled moxibustion tools for a clean and comfortable experience — combining traditional wisdom with contemporary innovation.
What is moxibustion?
Moxibustion is a form of heat therapy that works through the gentle burning of moxa, a dried herbal preparation made from the leaves of the mugwort plant. The warmth penetrates deep into the body to stimulate circulation, dispel cold and dampness, and awaken the body’s self-healing response.
Unlike acupuncture, which uses needles, moxibustion works through heat and energy — restoring the flow of Qi (vital energy) and blood throughout the body’s meridian channels.
Regular moxibustion can help:
- Relieve pain caused by cold or tension
- Boost energy and immunity
- Regulate menstrual cycles and fertility
- Support better sleep and relaxation
- Aid digestion and metabolism
A Warm Journey of Healing — Real Stories from Myofix Clients
“I didn’t know moxibustion could change my life… but it did.”
“After a few sessions, the warmth began to penetrate deeply — my circulation improved, the coldness in my hands and feet reduced significantly, and my whole body started to feel lighter, calmer, and more energised.
What surprised me most was how much my sleep, stress levels, and overall balance improved.
Sharon tailored every session, and I felt cared for every step. If you’re thinking about it, just try it.”
Warm-Heat Moxibustion therapy
Deep warming therapy to restore circulation and balance.
This traditional method uses loose moxa (mugwort wool) placed inside a specially designed moxibustion heat pot or metal moxa canister.
Once ignited, the container gently radiates warmth through its base to the treatment area — commonly applied to the abdomen, back, or joints.
The method delivers steady, penetrating heat that warms the meridians and promotes circulation, while avoiding direct skin contact and reducing smoke irritation.
Benefits:
- Warms meridians and dispels internal cold
- Helps relieve lower back, knee, and abdominal discomfort
- Supports digestion and menstrual comfort
- Promotes circulation and relaxation
traditional Moxa Stick therapy
Gentle therapeutic heat to restore circulation, balance, and natural healing.
Moxa Sticks Therapy (艾条灸疗法)
Moxa sticks are made from finely ground mugwort (Artemisia Argyi) and are used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to warm meridian points, stimulate circulation, and help dispel internal cold.
At MyoFix, we use high-quality herbal moxa sticks to deliver deep, gentle warmth through indirect application. The lit moxa stick is held close to the skin to stimulate specific acupuncture points and meridian pathways without direct contact, allowing controlled and comfortable heat therapy.
Benefits:
- Relieves muscle stiffness, pain, and cold sensations (neck, shoulder, lower back, joints)
- Improves digestion, circulation, and menstrual balance
- Supports immunity and overall vitality
- Calming nervous system and stress relief
