I’m offering a mid-winter Moxa special, absolutely free. for my Zen Shiatsu clients to help everyone through winter, available from Tuesday July 9 to Friday July 20.
Moxibustion is the burning of dried mugwort close to the skin, which in Eastern medicine is said to improve the circulation of blood and energy in the body. I’m offering all Zen Shiatsu clients an opportunity to experience moxibustion with a moxa box on the sacrum in combination with a Zen Shiatsu treatment. A 10 to 15 minute session of moxibustion on the sacrum will help to relax and ground your body, providing deep internal warmth to help combat the winter cold. Moxa is a deeply penetrative heat that warms the pelvic area and the lower back and can relieve lower back problems. In women, moxa warms the uterus and can assist with many menstrual issues. Most people who experience moxibustion report that they sleep better and have more energy on waking.
Moxibustion on the sacrum will be offered to all clients unless otherwise contra-indicated.
For more information about the usual fee for moxibustion, please see the treatments and programmes page at The Spirit of Touch website. To make an appointment, check my calendar for a time that suits you.
Also look out for my next blog post at The Spirit of Touch in the next few days which will give you more information about adjusting your diet for winter.
