Moxibustion London
From £45
At Shu Jun (Yuan Tai) Healthcare, we offer professional moxibustion therapy, a centuries-old Traditional Medicine technique that uses the gentle heat of burning mugwort (moxa) to promote healing. Moxibustion warms the body’s meridians, enhances circulation, reduces inflammation, and supports the flow of Qi (energy) — making it ideal for chronic pain, digestive issues, women’s health, and overall wellbeing.
Benefits of Moxibustion in London
From joint stiffness to menstrual cramps, moxibustion provides safe, natural relief without side effects. By stimulating circulation, warming the meridians, and supporting the body’s own healing processes, this traditional therapy promotes balance, resilience, and long-term wellbeing.
Pain Management & Injury Recovery
Improves blood flow, eases muscle tension, and speeds up recovery from injuries.
Moxibustion reduces inflammation, helps release stiffness in the joints, and accelerates natural tissue repair. It is especially effective for arthritis, chronic back pain, sports injuries, and post-exercise recovery.
Immune System Support
Regular treatments can help prevent seasonal illness and enhance vitality.
By strengthening the flow of Qi and boosting circulation, moxibustion fortifies the body against colds, flu, and fatigue. Many clients notice they feel more energised, resilient, and less prone to illness after consistent sessions.
Women’s Health & Pregnancy Support
Helps ease menstrual pain, regulate cycles, and is sometimes used to turn breech babies.
It also supports fertility by improving blood flow to the uterus, relieves menopausal discomfort, and provides natural relief from pregnancy-related back pain and fatigue.
Digestive & Metabolic Health
Stimulates the digestive system, reduces bloating, and supports healthy metabolism.
Moxibustion warms the stomach and spleen meridians, which can improve nutrient absorption, ease constipation, and reduce abdominal discomfort. It is also used to help regulate appetite and support weight management.
Stress, Sleep & Mental Wellbeing
Calms the nervous system, reduces anxiety, and improves sleep quality.
The gentle warmth of moxibustion encourages relaxation, helping to release emotional tension and mental fatigue. Many people find it effective for improving focus, reducing stress-related headaches, and promoting restful sleep.

FAQs
Is moxibustion safe?
Yes — when performed by a qualified practitioner, moxibustion is safe and highly effective. At Shu Jun (Yuan Tai) Healthcare, we use only professional-grade materials and follow strict safety protocols to ensure a comfortable and beneficial experience.
Does moxibustion have side effects?
Moxibustion is generally well-tolerated. Some people may experience mild warmth, redness, or a tingling sensation in the treated area — this is normal and usually subsides quickly. Unlike medication, it has no systemic side effects, making it a natural option for long-term care.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on your condition and overall health. Some clients notice improvement after the first treatment, while chronic conditions may require a course of several weeks for best results. Your practitioner will create a personalised plan tailored to your needs.
Can moxibustion be used during pregnancy?
Yes — in specific cases, such as breech presentation, moxibustion may be used to encourage the baby to turn. It can also help ease pregnancy-related back pain, fatigue, and digestive discomfort. However, it should only be carried out under professional guidance for safety.
Can it be combined with acupuncture?
Absolutely. Moxibustion and acupuncture complement each other perfectly, with moxibustion providing warming energy to support the acupuncture points. Together, they can enhance healing, balance Qi, and speed up recovery.
Does moxibustion hurt?
No — moxibustion is a gentle therapy. The warmth is soothing rather than painful, and many clients describe the sensation as deeply relaxing.
Who should avoid moxibustion?
Moxibustion may not be suitable for people with certain skin conditions, or those with open wounds in the treatment area. Your practitioner will assess your suitability during consultation to ensure it is safe for you.
How long does a session last?
A typical moxibustion session lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment plan. Longer, combined therapies may take slightly more time.
What conditions can moxibustion help with?
Moxibustion is used for a wide range of issues including:
-
Joint and muscle pain
-
Digestive problems
-
Women’s health concerns (menstrual cramps, fertility, menopause)
-
Fatigue and low immunity
-
Stress, anxiety, and poor sleep
