Moxibustion
Moxibustion Therapy is a traditional healing technique from Traditional Chinese Medicine that uses therapeutic heat to stimulate specific acupuncture points on the body. The heat is produced by burning a natural herb called mugwort (moxa) near the skin to improve energy flow, circulation and overall vitality.
At QiVital Physiotherapy and Wellness Center, moxibustion therapy is safely and professionally applied to strengthen the body, relieve pain and support long-term healing.

Moxibustion works by gently warming specific acupuncture points and energy channels (meridians). The heat penetrates deep into the tissues, improving blood circulation and activating the body’s natural healing response.
The therapy helps to:
- Improve blood and energy circulation
