Moxibusiton TherapyMoxibustion Therapy

Anxiety treatment can be natural therapy? People with anxiety or depression can be helped by Moxibustion Therapy? – Sure! Moxa therapy helps by strengthen kidneys.

People with anxiety or depression causes by kidney yang deficient. Insufficiency of kidney yang results in disturbance of digestion and excretion, so that the body cannot receive nutritional supplements in time.

Therefore kidney yang cannot be refilled and stimulated. Low function of kidney also causes other organs such as liver, heart did not get enough blood flow.

Lack of blood will cause heart function mess up, such as irregular heart beating due to lack of blood, then anxiety occurs.

Moxibustion is the number 1 boosting yang qi therapy. Gentle moxibustion helps kidney yang arising to keep other organs operating regularly.

Wormwood is considered to be a pure yang thing, because it grows on the sunny side of a hill, and it is picked around the Dragon Boat Festival in June when the yang is the strongest of a year.

It is a rare herb that can pass the twelve meridians. After many years of practice, Chinese ancients used wormwood as the main raw material for moxibustion.

The heat generated by the burning wormwood achieves the effects of warming the meridians, promoting qi and blood circulation, and expelling cold and dehumidification.

Chinese ancients also used burning wormwood and follow the smoke moving direction to find a source of water.

Anxiety treatment with Moxibustion

Anxiety treatment by moxa technique

1.Modern research has also found that the heat generated when wormwood burns is a very effective physical factor infrared that is suitable for body treatment.

2. According to the principles of physics, any object can emit infrared rays and absorb infrared rays, and the human body is no exception. Near infrared rays penetrate the human body deeper than far infrared rays, up to 10mm, and are absorbed by the body.

3. Studies believe that the radiant energy spectrum produced by wormwood during combustion is infrared, and near-infrared is the main component. Near-infrared can stimulate the hydrogen bonds of biomolecules in human acupoints, produce stimulated coherent resonance absorption effects, and transmit them through the nerve-humoral system. The energy required by human cells.

4. Infrared radiation during moxibustion can provide the necessary energy for the metabolic activities of the body’s cells and immune function, and it can also provide activation energy for diseased cells that lack energy.

Under near-infrared radiation, it can also stimulate the human body to have a special Substance-“Immune Activator”.

This is very helpful for the immune system in our body. With the enhancement of the immune system, the bacteria and viruses from the outside can be blocked one by one; the bacteria inside will be eliminated one by one.

5. Moxibustion is applied to acupuncture points, and its near-infrared radiation has a high penetration ability, and it can work through the meridian system to better send energy to the lesion.

6. Another modern study shows that the methanol extract of moxa burning product has the effect of scavenging free radicals, and it has a stronger effect than the methanol extract of unburned wormwood.

Moxibustion has significantly reduced lipid peroxides in the skin. The effect is caused by the burning product of wormwood. The burning of wormwood not only does not destroy its effective drug components, but enhances it.

The antioxidant substances in the burning product of wormwood adhere to the skin at the acupoints and are used by moxibustion. Heat penetrates into the body and works.

Moxibustion therapy is professional. The amount of moxa, materials, and methods of moxibustion are exquisite according individual physical constitution.

It should be done step by step. Do not imitate it easily without systematic learning, so as to avoid delays due to operational errors or damage skin.

    The amazing Shirley Brown goes the extra mile to help you to heal. Her initial assessment and history taking is incredibly thorough. Not only does she assess your medical and surgical history but also goes into indepth assessment of your usual diet .eating .sleeping patterns and your exercise routines . Shirley then can treat and heal you so much more profoundly . My first treatment with Shirley was with Moxinustion . Shirley used this to heal imbalances and to restore my energy system and then could prescribe what was needed to make me heal. I went for my first appointment feeling that I could not be healed or would have to wait months if not years to see a specialist. After seeing Shirley I left feeling lighter stronger and with definitely less pain and actual optimism and knew that I had been really cared for . I have been going to see Shirley for special teas she makes depending on what organ in my body needs the most attention . Shirley is a truly gifted healer and her knowledge of Chinese medicine is profound . Shirley truly excels in her profession.

    My opinion is that the teas available at this store are the best natural medicine available in BC. I was amazed at the age of 75 how energized I felt after using Shirley's teas.

    I would highly recommend booking a consultation with Shirley. I met with Shirley in September and on that day she was able to assess my pulse with precision and identify where improvements could be made to support balancing my body. During my initial consultation, Shirley designed a three month treatment plan for me. At each appointment Shirley thoroughly assessed my progress as we worked in partnership to bring my body into balance. Shirley excels at Moxibustion and Tui Na, two therapies that I experienced during my treatment plan and I also followed all of the “homework” that she assigned me. I am very happy with the positive results that I experienced and again I would highly recommended booking a consultation with Shirley.

    Shirley has helped me a great deal in improving my health. Being a Chinese from Hong Kong, I always trust TCM. Although I knew about moxa since I was a kid, I had never tried moxibustion before, until I met Shirley. I had encountered a medical issue in the past few years that none of my doctors and specialists could explain (or in their words "never heard of"). I had also tried cupping, Chinese massage and acupuncture. However, only after I started to have moxibustion and Shirley's five elements tea and herbal teas, I have experienced a huge improvement. As a matter of fact, many of the herbal teas that Shirley prescribes are actually very traditional recipes from the ancient Chinese medical records since thousands of years ago, which are commonly accessible online or on hard copies. However, to feel the pulse, check the body condition and then apply the right recipe for the treatment is utmost crucial and Shirley is proved to be able to do so. And I was told today that the official name of the clinic of "One More Cup of Tea" is "SLB Traditional Chinese Therapies" and there are a lot of information under that page. I am going to leave the exact same review under that name so nobody should miss it. Thank you Shirley.

  • I started seeing Shirley in September 2024 when I knew I needed to do more to support my health. Shirley is so knowledgeable and is able to pinpoint things that need attention.
