The Moxa Box

Moxa is magical and moxa matters!
When the ci**rs get too messy, too smokey, too high maintenance...try this innovative tool!
It will hold your moxa stuck in place while channeling the medicinal smoke right where you need it to go.
Let your your sympathetic nervous system let go! No more hot fingers, no more funky fumes, no more burned sheets or carpets!
Just the gentle healing of mugwort, in exactly the places you’re body longs for it.
Each moxa burner kit comes with five sticks of high quality, purified Japanese moxa.
We find it is the perfect temperature to soothe and awaken the meridians.

Acupuncturists know that Spleen 6 is an empirical point for building the Yin energy of the body! While the point officially resides on the Spleen meridian, it is actually an intersection point where all three Yin meridians of the lower body meet.
That means that by treating Spleen 6 with moxa, we have the chance to provide a deep nourishment to the Spleen, Liver and Kidney.

Moxa along three Liver and Spleen channels will powerfully build and gently move the blood. Moxa on the Kidney channel will stabilize essence and secure the jing.

To locate this point, simply lay your hand, palm down, on the inside aspect of the lower calf starting at the high point of the ankle bone. (Or medial malleolus for all the anatomy nerds ;)

The measurement should be done with the hand of the person you are palpating so that the ratios are correct....but it’s still pretty simple!

The point is four fingers directly above the pointy part of the ankle right along side the shin bone.
(You should be able to feel a little indentation or change in skin temperature at the point itself.)

Our small moxa burner is the perfect tool for treatment of single acu-points. The extended handle even makes it easy to do this point on yourself!

Recommended moxibustion protocol for Spleen 6:
5-10 minutes
1-2 times per day
You can do this daily for up to ten days and then take a little break.

Moxa at Spleen Six can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, generate energy and benefit digestion.

*this point should be avoided during pregnancy

According to the classic text: Zhen Jiu Jia Yi Jing, there are 28 points that are forbidden for moxibustion.

Some of them may be surprising to the modern practitioner!

Let us give you a gentle reminder (and convenient cheat sheet!) on the points to avoid.

You’ll find a collection of helpful PDFs for you and your patients.

We spent months selecting our loose moxa varieties!
Heaven’s Grace is by far the gold standard! Highly refined and intended for direct moxibustion techniques, it has a light, gentle temperature and clean, mild burn. Energetically...it is absolutely ethereal!
Sweet Gold is also a Grade A moxa and ideal for both direct and indirect moxibustion. It is slightly warmer than Heaven’s Grace. The sweet tone of this moxa gives it the energetic imprint of a true tonic!

Earth’s Comfort is our favorite moxa for moxa box treatments. Slightly more hearty, it is used only for indirect therapies and burns with a warmer temperature. It is great for moving qi and activating the channels!

There are so many varieties of mugwort that we can use for this medicine!
Let us know if you have any questions about these moxa or others you may already be using.

January Moxa Point of the month!
Du 14, “The Great Hammer” is the meeting point of all of the Yang Meridians of the body!
It strongly lifts the Yang Qi and enhances our protective energy. Moxa here helps us clear our body when we are exposed to pathogens or contagious illness. It can also clear out the chill of a winter storm.
Swipe through this post for tips on how to locate Du 14 and our clinical pearls!
And comment below on how you use Du 14 in your practice!

“Ease of use!” Is that how you feel about your moxa practice?

You can bring zen to your healing den!

Let us introduce our small moxa burner! This little tool is perfectly crafted to simplify the practice of moxibustion. By placing a moxa stick inside the wooden handle, you can apply the smoke to specific acupuncture points. The tool acts as a barrier that protects the skin from being burned and also acts as a channel that directs the smoke toward the body for a more penetrating treatment!

These burners take all the fuss and mess out of your moxa sessions so that you can truly relax and receive the benefit of this amazing plant medicine.

We are also having a sale on the refill moxa sticks for your new burner!
