In addition to acupressure, our practice in Basel also offers moxibustion – a proven method from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Moxa treatment is primarily used when symptoms are caused by cold, exhaustion, or a weakened flow of energy (Qi). Dried mugwort is burned over selected acupuncture points to direct heat into the body.
Moxibustion can be combined very well with acupressure treatment. In our practice in Basel, we tailor the therapy to your individual needs—whether acupressure, cupping, or moxa:
The aim is to restore energetic balance and activate the body’s self-healing powers.
Experience the beneficial effects of warmth and let us convince you of our experience in the field of TCM in Basel.
Who is moxa suitable for?
Moxibustion is particularly suitable for people suffering from coldness, chronic exhaustion, or energy depletion. In our practice in Basel, we use moxa specifically when the body needs support in the form of warmth and energy—a central approach in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
As a gentle complement to acupressure or cupping, moxa helps to specifically strengthen the vital energy (Qi) and release blockages. The treatment is painless and, for many, is experienced as deeply warming and relaxing.
Are you unsure whether moxa is right for you? We would be happy to provide you with personalized, holistic advice in a personal consultation at our practice in Basel—in the spirit of TCM.
Is moxibustion painful?
No – moxibustion is a very gentle treatment method and is generally perceived as pleasant and deeply warming. Unlike invasive procedures, moxa therapy does not involve direct contact between the skin and the flame. The smoldering mugwort herb is held over specific acupressure points or applied indirectly via a moxa cone or moxa box, creating a mild, penetrating warmth.
At our acupressure practice in Basel, we ensure that moxibustion is individually tailored to each patient—both in terms of intensity and duration. This method is one of the proven heat treatments of TCM Basel and is particularly suitable for people sensitive to cold or suffering from chronic fatigue.
How much does moxa treatment cost in Basel?
A moxa treatment at our Basel practice costs CHF 140 for 60 minutes. Billing is based on the actual time spent – transparent and fair. After each session, you will receive a detailed receipt, which you can submit to your supplementary insurance.
