Absolutely!
Moxibustion (OKYU お灸) is an excellent alternative for individuals who experience fear or discomfort with needles. It offers similar benefits to acupuncture and can be used as a standalone treatment option. Moxibustion allows you to receive the therapeutic effects of traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine without the need for needles. Please reach out to Sara to explore moxibustion as an alternative treatment option.
When Moxa is burned on/close to the skin, it can generate warmth. The heat from the burning Moxa is carefully controlled to ensure your comfort and safety during the treatment.
I take precautions by using a shield between your skin and the Moxa cone on the skin, so most patients describe the Moxibustion sensation as “warm” rather than “hot” or “burning”.
Your comfort is my priority, and I will adjust the treatment as needed to ensure a pleasant and effective experience.
Moxa treatment, when performed using a combination of moxa and a bamboo stick (i.e. Fukayakyu), can cause the treated points to become “red” or “red-purple” immediately after the session. This effect is a mini version of red/purple spots seen after a cupping session. However, these marks should naturally fade within two weeks.
If you prefer to avoid any visible marks, please inform me beforehand, and I will utilize alternative methods that do not produce visible discoloration.
