Moxa treatment - Ancient Wisdom

Moxa treatment will take effect by once?  How long does moxa take for my disease to be cured?

For those who are new to moxa(moxibustion) therapy, they hope to see the effect as soon as possible when using moxa to treat minor physical illnesses and pains, and it is understandable to know the time of the result.

In fact, there is really no way to accurately explain this time issue, and no matter how professional practitioner can’t tell you: your symptoms / diseases will definitely be cured in a few days.

Some symptoms will be effective after the first treatment, and the discomfort will be alleviated or disappear.

This result often occurs when these symptoms have just appeared, or the patient’s physical constitution is good.

Moxa treatment

The duration of moxa treatment

Moxa sensation

Such as ants crawling, heat conduction, diffusion, itching, pain (not the pain caused by the moxa heat being too close), and even some spots and red lines on the skin surface.

Moxa treatment for acute symptoms/diseases

Like light diarrhea, colds symptoms, headache, toothache, joint pain, shoulder pain, abdominal pain ( menstrual pain), migraine, if the symptoms disappear after moxa therapy, they can generally be cured in a short time.

For example, someone catches a cold, after moxa some certain points for 20 minutes, the sneezing decreased. About another 1 or two moxa treatments, people were almost cured.

Note: If it is a serious, hazardous acute disease or sudden illness, it is recommended to Emergency immediately.

For example: acute abdomen pain during pregnancy, seize onset, stroke, heat stroke, bleeding diarrhea, high fever, faint, un-consiousness, ect.

Moxa treatment for mild symptoms/diseases

Take effect usually is in 1~3 months. For example, gastritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc.

Of course, you will feel a positive change in the body after 2-3 times a week moxa treatment. To completely eliminate inflammation, you need to continue the treatment until the inflammation disappears.

You should have regular maintenance once a year in the future to prevent recurrence.

Moxa treatment for chronic or severe diseases

Be prepared for long-term moxa. At least 3 months, maybe half a year or even longer.

For example, rhinitis, asthma, fatigue, digestive diseases such as chronic gastritis, etc., with continuous moxa treatment, the symptoms of discomfort will be alleviated, reduced or even disappear.

Moxa treatment improves physical fitness or adjusts the whole body

Moxa once or twice a week, long-term moxa, the effect is better, especially suitable for people with poor congenital constitution. Moxa therapy fundamentally improves physical fitness.

Another method is to do moxa therapy during the dog days (40 days) and the coldest days(40 days), which can also improve and enhance physical fitness and enhance immunity.

Some symptoms/diseases easy to be treated while some diseases/symptoms are difficult

It is easy to treat symptoms/diseases superficial but difficult to treat deeply symptoms/diseases

The severity of diseases are reflected in the symptoms at different levels such as skin, muscles, tendons and bone marrow. The deeper symptoms/disease, the more difficult to treat.

If the symptoms/disease are superficial, the heat power of mild moxa treatment can easily reach, and the disease will naturally heal quickly.

Symptoms / diseases are in the meridians are easy to cure while symptoms/diseases are in the internal organs, it is difficult to cure

If just meridians are blocked, it can be cured by unblocking them. If diseases reach the six internal organs (bladder, stomach, gallbladder, large intestine, small intestine, triple burner), it will be much more difficult to treat.

If the vital energy is weaker, the disease will go deeper. It will take more time for the disease to reach the five internal organs (heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney).

Moxa treament - 5 systems

Diseases that have not been mutated are easy to treat, but diseases that have been mutated are difficult to treat

What does mutations mean? For example, a tumor has grown, or the disease has become cancerous.

If you have a tumor, don’t expect to be cured by moxa therapy a few times, don’t rush for success.

Short course of diseases, easy to treat. We have mentioned ahead that for superficial diseases, the course of disease is generally very short, and it is easier for the body to repair.

The longer the course of diseases, the deeper of disease has penetrated into the body surface, or the meridians, and has reached the muscles or internal organs, and the more difficult to treat.

The longer the course of disease, the more serious the condition and the more difficult it is to treat.

What are the changes after moxa for different duration

At the beginning, after the first moxibustion, the effect will not be immediately apparent. You may get angry, feel drowsy, get excited or suffer from insomnia.

Don’t panic after these reactions occur. This is a transition period, which means that positive energy is gradually being injected into your body.

For those who are weak, have chronic diseases, or have been ill for a long time, generally moxa should not last more than 60 minutes each time, and no more than three times a week.

This is because people with long-term illnesses or physique weak, they need longer time to accept and adapt to the external supplementary energy from moxa.

Most people will notice obvious improvements from the body after one or two moxa treatments.

After one month of moxa therapy

The meridians become more unobstructed, the organs become more powerful, the cooperation between the organs becomes balanced and harmonious, and the mental state becomes better.

For example, the mind will be very agile, the work efficiency will be greatly improved, the memory will be enhanced, the physical fitness will be much better than before moxa therapy, and you will become more optimistic, more passion, etc.

Moxa therapy for one year or more

It is almost impossible to be infected by epidemic colds, and the diseases that you wanted to treat with moxa are almost or basically cured.

The mental state is always in a positive state, and the popularity will be much better than before. Because the positive energy of oneself has increased, it will attract more people willing to get close to you.

For example, family relationship, friend relationship, or relationship with colleagues, ect.

✨ What Our Clients Say

  • 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.

    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.

    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!

    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.
