Find Natural Pain Relief with Moxibustion Therapy
Are you tired of letting chronic pain dictate your life? Discover moxibustion for pain relief—a safe, time-tested, and natural treatment that targets the root cause of your discomfort, not just the symptoms.
What is Moxibustion? A Soothing Alternative.
Moxibustion is a core practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine that uses the gentle, penetrating heat of burning mugwort to stimulate your body’s natural healing abilities.
Unlike other methods, it’s not about intense stimulation. It’s about nourishing your body from within. If you are sensitive to needles or find that your body doesn’t respond well to aggressive treatments, the calming warmth of moxibustion offers a profoundly different experience.

How It Works: The Science of Soothing Heat.
How can warmth provide such powerful natural pain relief? The therapeutic process is multi-faceted:
Deep Penetration: The unique near-infrared heat from moxa doesn’t just warm the skin; it reaches deep into muscles and tissues, promoting relaxation and releasing tension.
Enhanced Circulation: This warmth encourages healthy blood flow to affected areas, delivering oxygen and nutrients while flushing out inflammation-causing toxins.
Nervous System Calm: The treatment prompts your body to relax, helping to reduce the stress and tension that often worsen chronic pain.
Is Moxibustion Safe? A Legacy of Trust.
Yes, overwhelmingly so. With a documented history of safe use spanning over 2,500 years, moxibustion stands as one of the most reliable natural therapies available. At our clinic, your safety is our highest priority. Our certified practitioners use only the highest-quality, organic moxa and adhere to the strictest protocols to ensure a comfortable and secure experience.
What to Expect In Your Personalized Session.
Wondering if this is right for you? We make it simple and stress-free.

December 15, 2022I've been seeing Shirley to help me with eczema rashes that I have been struggling with for many years and I have already been seeing noticeable improvements from her personalized tea, treatments, and advice. Shirley is very good at locating which areas in the body are needing attention. I highly recommend booking with Shirley!

February 17, 2026Shirley 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.

March 6, 2022The 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.

February 14, 2026I 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.

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 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. Things Western Medicine misses. I am happy to report my blood pressure is down and stabilizing from her treatments and tea. I highly recommend Shirley!
The Primary Advantage
May 10, 2025Prior to treatment I had chronic pain from spinal stenosis however, after a couple weeks of taking the tea that was specifically made for me I was in far less pain and discomfort. The results of the treatment were far greater than expected. I highly recommend!!
