Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese therapy that uses the heat of burning moxa (dried mugwort) near specific acupoints to stimulate the flow of Qi and blood, expel cold and dampness, and strengthen the body’s immune system.
At Sage Holistic Healing, we practice both classic and advanced moxibustion techniques. For chronic and complex conditions, we also use the Five Grains Que Moxibustion Technique (五簋阙灼术) — an exclusive lineage from Master Yang Yang of Ji Xuan Tang in China.

By combining natural grains with Chinese medicinal herbs, this method reactivates the body’s healing potential and delivers remarkable results for difficult conditions such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, stroke, coronary heart disease, and chronic fatigue.

Moxibustion originated in China over 2,500 years ago and was first recorded in ancient texts such as the Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor’s Classic).
It has long been valued for its ability to prevent illness, strengthen immunity, and maintain health.

The word moxa derives from the Japanese adaptation of the Chinese term “艾” (ai), referring to the dried mugwort used in this therapy.
Throughout East Asia, moxibustion evolved into diverse regional techniques — all sharing the same essence: using warmth to drive out cold and stimulate life energy.

From the TCM Perspective:

• Warms meridians and dispels cold and damp.

• Moves Qi and blood, tonifies deficiency, and relieves pain.

• Strengthens Yang energy and supports immunity.

From the Modern Medical Perspective:

• Thermal stimulation enhances blood flow and metabolism.

• Regulates the nervous, immune, and endocrine systems.

• Promotes local tissue repair and pain relief.
