Moxibustion is a traditional practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that uses heat as a therapeutic tool. This millenary treatment consists of applying heat on specific points of the body through the use of a medicinal herb called mugwort, whose thermal effect stimulates the flow of vital energy(Qi). At Spa Natural Center, moxibustion is performed in a safe and comfortable environment, helping to improve the physical and emotional well-being of our clients.
What is Moxibustion?
Moxibustion uses mugwort (a plant with therapeutic properties) which is burned close to the skin at strategic points, the same ones used in acupuncture. The gentle, controlled heat of moxibustion helps to unblock the body’s energy channels, or meridians, promoting a healthy flow of Qi. This treatment not only helps relieve pain and combat cold in the body, but also strengthens the immune system, reduces stress and improves circulation.
At Spa Natural Center, our trained therapists customize each moxibustion session to meet the individual needs of each client, ensuring a comfortable and revitalizing experience.

Moxibustion is a suitable therapy for a variety of health conditions and energy imbalances. Here are some of the most common cases in which moxibustion can be beneficial:
- Chronic pain: Ideal for people suffering from joint, back and neck pain, as the heat of moxibustion relieves muscle tension.
- Body cold and energy imbalance: For those who experience cold in certain parts of the body, this technique warms and revitalizes the energy.
