Acupuncture and Moxibustion for Natural Healing in Seattle

A woman receiving acupuncture treatment, highlighting the natural healing benefits of acupuncture and moxibustion for improved well-being and pain relief.

When you walk into my practice, you're choosing a natural way to take care of your health. Acupuncture and moxibustion have been around for thousands of years, and they’re still just as effective today at helping people feel better and live healthier lives.

I focus on using these ancient practices to treat pain, stress, and various other issues—helping you feel balanced and restored without the need for medication or invasive procedures. It’s about helping your body heal itself in a way that feels natural and gentle.

Acupuncture works by restoring the flow of energy, or qi, in your body. When this energy gets blocked or out of balance, it can cause pain, fatigue, or other symptoms. Acupuncture can help release these blockages, letting your body heal from the inside out. I often combine it with moxibustion—a warming technique using the herb mugwort—to give you an even deeper sense of relief and relaxation.

 

How Acupuncture and Moxibustion Can Benefit You

People seek acupuncture for all sorts of reasons, and it can help with a wide variety of issues. Here are some of the benefits you might experience:

  • Relief from Pain: Whether you have back pain, neck pain, or joint pain, acupuncture can reduce inflammation and improve circulation, helping you feel better and move more freely.

  • Stress Reduction: We all deal with stress, but acupuncture can help you relax by calming your nervous system and promoting emotional balance.

  • Better Digestion: Acupuncture can help with issues like IBS, bloating, and constipation by improving your digestive function.

  • Improved Sleep: If you’re having trouble sleeping, acupuncture can address the underlying imbalances that are keeping you awake and help you get the rest you need.

  • Stronger Immune System: Regular acupuncture sessions can help boost your immune system, making it easier to fight off illnesses and recover more quickly when you’re not feeling well.

  • Hormonal Balance: From menstrual pain to menopause, acupuncture can help regulate your hormones and ease symptoms.

What Else Can I Do for You?

In addition to acupuncture, I offer a few other therapies that might be a great fit for you, depending on what’s going on with your health. These therapies can complement acupuncture and help you get the best results.

  • Moxibustion: This warming technique uses the herb mugwort to gently heat specific acupuncture points, improving circulation and helping with pain relief.

  • Cupping: You’ve probably seen pictures of those round marks on people’s skin—those come from cupping. It’s a gentle suction therapy that releases tension in your muscles and promotes better blood flow.

  • Gua Sha: This technique involves using a smooth tool to apply pressure to your skin, helping to reduce inflammation and relieve muscle tension.

  • Tui Na Massage: This is a form of deep tissue massage that works with the energy flow in your body. It’s great for improving circulation and relieving tight muscles.

  • Herbal Medicine: Sometimes, I might suggest an herbal remedy to complement your acupuncture treatment. These remedies can be taken in the form of teas, powders, or pills and help support your healing from the inside.

  • Diet and Lifestyle Advice: We’ll also talk about how you can make some simple changes to your diet or lifestyle to help speed up your healing process. These adjustments can have a big impact on how you feel day-to-day.
