Moxibustion

Home-visit moxibustion

Gentle, radiant warmth from burning mugwort held above specific points — traditionally used for cold and depleted patterns.

What it is

Moxibustion warms specific points using smouldering mugwort, held just above the skin or placed on a needle handle. Nothing touches you directly and it should never feel more than pleasantly hot — tell me the moment it does and I will move it.

In TCM terms it is used for what are described as cold or deficient patterns: things that feel worse in air-conditioning, better with a hot shower, and come with low energy. There is smoke and a distinctive smell, so we will pick a room with a window or use a smokeless option.

What happens in a session

  1. Quick check that moxa suits you.
  2. 15–20 minutes of gentle warmth over chosen points, with a window open.
  3. Aftercare advice.

What people traditionally come for

  • Discomfort that feels worse in cold or air-conditioning
  • Low energy and feeling cold easily
  • Menstrual discomfort
  • Digestive sluggishness

Good to know

These are concerns people traditionally seek this treatment for — not a promise of a particular result. Whether it suits your situation is something Jelly will discuss with you at the consultation. If she thinks you should see a doctor first, she will tell you.

  • Tell me about any medicines you take, especially blood thinners, hormones or fertility drugs.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding? Mention it when you book; some techniques are adjusted or avoided.
  • Eat something light 1–2 hours before, and wear loose clothing.

Frequently asked questions

Do you really come to my house?
Yes. I bring a portable treatment table, sterile single-use needles, cups and everything else the session needs. All you have to provide is a room with enough space to lie down and a plug point if we are using anything heated.
What do I need to prepare before the visit?
Very little. Clear a space roughly the size of a single bed, wear loose clothing, and eat something light beforehand — treatment on a completely empty stomach can leave you light-headed. If you have recent medical reports or a list of your medication, have them nearby.
How long does a session take?
Budget an hour to an hour and a half for a first visit, which includes a full consultation. Follow-up sessions are usually shorter. The exact length depends on the treatment — each treatment page lists its own timing.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture needles are far finer than injection needles — most people describe a brief dull ache or a heavy sensation at the point rather than a sharp pain, and many feel nothing at all going in. Tell me at any point if something is uncomfortable and I will adjust it.
Is it safe? What about hygiene at home?
Needles are sterile, single-use and disposed of in a proper sharps container that leaves with me. Cups and tools are cleaned and disinfected between patients. Nothing is reused between people, ever.
