Moxibustion Therapy | Fertility & Pregnancy Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a gentle, warming therapy from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in which a dried herb mugwort is burned near specific acupuncture points on the body. The warmth it generates penetrates deeply, stimulating circulation, nourishing reproductive organs, and activating the body’s natural healing response.
At Sammilana, moxibustion is used as a powerful complement to acupuncture — enhancing its effects and addressing conditions where warmth and blood flow are key to healing.
What Moxibustion Can Help With:
- Poor uterine blood flow and thin endometrial lining
- Cold uterus or Yang deficiency patterns in TCM
- Breech baby presentation (a specific protocol targeting the BL67 point)
- Fatigue, low energy, and immune support during fertility treatment
- Poor circulation and cold extremities during pregnancy
What to Expect
Moxibustion sessions at Sammilana are calm and deeply warming. The therapy is non-invasive — the herb is held near, not placed on, the skin. Most patients find it profoundly relaxing. It is typically offered as part of an Acupuncture session, integrated into your personalised care plan.

FAQs - Moxibustion:
No. Acupuncture uses fine needles; moxibustion uses the warmth of burning mugwort herb near acupuncture points to stimulate circulation and healing. At Sammilana, the two are frequently combined in a single session as they complement each other well
Yes, when performed by a trained practitioner. The protocols we use — including the BL67 point for breech presentation — are well established and safe.
Clinical research on the BL67 protocol has shown meaningful results in encouraging babies to turn from breech to head-down position.
Most patients find it deeply relaxing and pleasantly warming. There is a herbal scent — we ventilate our rooms well to manage this. The herb is held near, not on, the skin, so there is no risk of burning.
