Treatment Process

Moghusa burned over slices of garlic combined with a distinct qi enhancement technique is a form of treatment that takes you on a journey. The process of receiving heat that deeply permeating through specific parts of the body releases stress imprinted as chronic patterns which over time take the form of diseases. Based on an assessment of the patient, the length of treatment is determined.

Golden moxa in small pinches is burnt over organic garlic with an incense stick. The slice of garlic is slightly smaller than a dime (10 cent coin) and cut evenly, approx. 2.5 millimeters thick. It takes about 3 to 4 pinches of moxa to be burnt consecutively over the slice of garlic for the heat to penetrate through. It is critical that a sufficient amount of heat is absorbed for the moxa to have its therapeutic effects. As the moxa is burnt in pinches, the patient experiences an increasingly warming sensation. This sensation is closely monitored. Just prior to it getting too hot, the moxibustion treatment on a single point ends and the garlic is removed. The garlic has several healing qualities in itself and is a very powerful means of ensuring the effect of the moxa and that sufficient heat penetrates through without it burning the skin. At a given time, a set of five to eight slices of garlic are burnt in sequence over a given part of the patients body. Typically in a 2 hr. session, there will be several areas that receive moxibustion.

Preceding and following the moxibustion, a distinct qi enhancement technique is administered, particularly in areas where moxibustion is going to be/has been carried out. The pre-moxibustion qi enhancement process enables the patient’s body to loosen so as to be able to receive the heat. The post-moxibustion qi enhancement process helps penetrate the heat even further into the patient’s body so as to have a greater healing effect.

It is a rare opportunity to experience a garlic moxibustion treatment over 2 hrs that is administered either on a weekly basis or intensively over consecutive days amounting to treatment cycles. Moxibustion that involves refined loose moghusa has been traditionally administered in three mediums: directly on top of the skin, via the use of ginger slices, or otherwise using garlic. Experiments have shown that the intensity of heat that is generated from a garlic moxa treatment is most intensive and effective.


Moxibustion most commonly used in contemporary East Asia as well as the Bay Area is for maintenance, in the form of a stick or that of a moxa box with a mesh, both of which are self administered and penetrate heat in a moderate fashion. Otherwise, moxa is commonly used to enhance an acupuncture treatment, whereby needles are heated with the moxa herb, usually less refined and green in color. The moxa-stick is also widely sold for self-maintenance in Chinese herbal pharmacies. In contrast, the golden brown moghusa used in this direct form of treatment over garlic is very pure and refined, and burns and generates heat in an infrared frequency, both uniformly and pointedly. It originates from a specialized company in Japan producing high quality moxa since 1895.
