Moxibustion at Pulse Acupuncture: Ancient Healing for Modern Living
Contact Us
Moxibustion, also known as “moxa treatment,” is a traditional Chinese therapy, with its roots dating back thousands of years, moxibustion has been an integral part of Chinese medicine and is now gaining popularity in Western countries. Moxibustion in Pulse Acupuncture, located in the vibrant neighborhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, offers moxibustion therapy as part of comprehensive acupuncture and holistic health services.
What is Moxibustion?
Moxibustion therapy is a form of complementary medicine, it involves the burning of moxa, a dried herb derived from the mugwort plant, to facilitate healing and promote wellness. Moxa can be compressed into small cones or rolled into sticks, which are then ignited and held close to the body or placed on acupuncture points. The gentle heat generated by moxibustion penetrates deep into the body, stimulating circulation and balancing the flow of energy, known as Qi, through the body’s meridian pathways. This process is believed to enhance the body’s natural healing abilities and is often used in conjunction with acupuncture to treat a variety of health issues.
How does Moxibustion work?
Moxibustion benefits are derived from the therapeutic properties of mugwort to enhance the effects of acupuncture. When applied to specific acupuncture points or areas of the body, moxa acupuncture stimulates the flow of Qi, activates blood circulation, and promotes the body’s innate healing response. The heat generated during moxibustion therapy penetrates deeply into the muscles and tissues, providing soothing warmth and relaxation. This process helps to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and promote overall well-being.
Moxibustion can be performed in different ways, including direct and indirect methods:
- Direct moxibustion, a small cone of moxa is placed directly on the skin and burned until it generates heat.
- Indirect moxibustion involves placing the moxa on top of an acupuncture needle or held above the skin without making direct contact.
Both methods offer therapeutic benefits and are chosen based on the patient’s condition and preferences.
When is Moxibustion used?
Moxibustion acupuncture is used to address a wide range of conditions and symptoms. It is often employed to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing in musculoskeletal disorders, such as arthritis, back pain, and joint stiffness. Moxa is also utilized in women’s health to regulate menstrual cycles, relieve menstrual pain, and support fertility. In addition, moxibustion is known to enhance the immune system, improve digestion, alleviate fatigue, and promote relaxation and stress reduction.
One of the most common tools used in moxibustion therapy is the moxa stick. These sticks are made by tightly rolling layers of processed mugwort into a cylinder shape. When ignited, they produce a steady and controlled heat that is directed towards specific points on the body. Moxa sticks allow for precise and targeted stimulation of acupuncture points and meridians, making them a popular choice in moxibustion treatments.
Benefits of Moxibustion at Pulse Acupuncture in Brooklyn
Moxa treatment offers several benefits for individuals seeking holistic healthcare options. One of the primary moxibustion benefits is its ability to promote healing and balance within the body. By stimulating the flow of Qi and blood, moxibustion supports the body’s natural healing processes and enhances overall well-being. The deep penetrating heat of moxibustion can alleviate pain, reduce muscle tension, and improve flexibility.
In addition to pain management, moxibustion is believed to have positive effects on the immune system. It strengthens the body’s defenses, making it more resistant to illnesses and infections. Moxibustion can also improve digestion by regulating gastrointestinal functions and promoting a healthy gut. It is known to be beneficial for conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and indigestion.
Furthermore, moxibustion has shown promising results in addressing gynecological issues. It is commonly used to regulate menstrual cycles, alleviate menstrual pain, and support fertility. By restoring the balance of energy in the reproductive system, moxibustion can enhance the chances of conception and improve overall reproductive health.

Laryssa is very empathetic and clearly cares about her patients. She’s passionate about her job and wants her patients to feel better. I’ve been seen by Marina a couple of times when Laryssa wasn’t there and I can say the same for her. Overall I highly recommend this acupuncture office.
21:32 10 Oct 24
I have been doing acupuncture consistently for 3.5 years, started with Marina almost 3 years ago and also started seeing Larissa this last year.Acupuncture has truly changed my life and has helped me in ways I didn’t even know were possible.I started doing acupuncture to balance my hormones after 2 years of unsuccessful fertility treatments. When I started seeing Marina, my periods were starting to be regular and I was dealing with a few different symptoms which we started treating right away (constipation, random headaches, body aches)… in the last 3 years I have not been sick (no flu, have never tested positive for COVID) - Marina even treated me for allergies more than a year ago during an allergy episode in changing seasons.Also want to mention Larissa as I started seeing her in Marina’s beautiful office and she’s also contributed to my wellness journey. Acupuncture is my favorite wellness practice, I see them regularly and have never felt better. I sometimes just tell them whatever I’m thinking/feeling knowing they will stick some needles in different places of my body and I come out floating and feeling so relaxed.

I always feel better after leaving. The office is beautiful and calming as well.

When I first came to Marina, I felt constant pressure in my lower back, tension in my upper back and lack of energy. During the first session I could literally feel something shifting inside in those areas she was working on. Her touch was so gentle that I didn’t even feel the needles go in. The time stopped, I was relaxed, calm and peaceful. Besides acupuncture I had some cupping done as well. The cups relieved a great deal of pressure from my upper and lower back. After the session I immediately felt the effect. Have my next session scheduled for next week. I would definitely recommend Marina to those seeking holistic ways to deal with muscle, spine, and pain issues. She is a miracle worker!
21:00 13 Jun 23

I’ve had great acupuncture experience at Pulse Acupuncture. Marina was able to fix my neck strain in just one treatment. It was not painful and actually very relaxing. Cupping and massage followed after acupuncture session. This was the most relief I’ve had in a long time. Loved the healing vibe of this beautiful studio.

Moxibustion in Brooklyn, NY - FAQ
How often should Moxibustion be performed?
The frequency of Moxibustion sessions can vary widely based on the individual’s condition and how they respond to the therapy. Some may benefit from weekly sessions, while others may need less frequent treatments. A trained practitioner should guide this decision.
Who should avoid Moxibustion?
Moxibustion should be avoided by those with certain conditions such as respiratory problems due to the smoke produced, or skin conditions that might be worsened by heat or burns. Additionally, pregnant women should only receive Moxibustion under the guidance of a professional due to the therapy’s potential to induce labor.
Is Moxibustion painful?
Moxibustion should not be painful. The treatment is designed to stimulate the body and create a warm sensation. If the heat becomes too intense or uncomfortable, it’s important to inform the practitioner immediately.
Are there any potential side effects or risks of Moxibustion?
Side effects of Moxibustion can include minor burns or blisters, especially with direct Moxibustion. There is also a risk of smoke inhalation, as the process involves burning moxa. It’s important that Moxibustion be performed by a trained professional to minimize these risks.
