That spot on the tendon that just won’t warm up.
You stretch it, you rest it, you apply heat — and it feels better for a while. But the cold keeps coming back. In Chinese medicine, that’s not just a circulation problem. Cold can lodge in a joint or tendon and sit there, resisting the usual remedies.
Moxibustion is one of the ways we address it. Dried mugwort, burned close to the point, delivering a warmth that penetrates differently to a heat pack or hot shower. Deeper, like a pin-point infrared sauna, in a way that tends to linger.
It’s the same principle we use for whole-body cold: Yang as the body’s pilot light 🔥 When it’s low, or when cold gets in somewhere it shouldn’t, moxa is one of the most direct ways to rekindle it.
It smells a little like a campfire 🌿 Patients either love it immediately or take a session to appreciate it.
If you’ve got something that aches in the cold, or just won’t fully recover, this might be worth a chat.
