How are your mornings these days? If you find that you are dragging, cold, or really fatigued you're not alone. Winter mornings, in particular, can be rough. Yup even for me. So this morning requires a little moxa. Click here to read more in-depth about this cool treatment principle.

DISCLAIMER: Moxa is a safe, gentle, effective treatment for many ailments. BUT, you need to speak with your local acupuncturist first to make sure moxa is right for you. If so, then your acupuncturist will decide what kind, frequency, and which points.

Moxa is great to do with your morning tea or coffee. Any amount of time you have sitting will do. There are many different types of moxa. My favorite method is a prerolled stick on that is smokeless. I frequently prescribe moxa to patients to do in between treatments. It's great for:

energy
warming you up
OBGYN issues
aches and pains
feeling cold
digestive problems
weight management
It even works to flip breech babies, and more! (I'm not kidding)
