Moxibustion is a Traditional Chinese Medicine therapy that uses gentle heat from burning mugwort to support circulation, reduce cold-type pain, and enhance acupuncture treatment outcomes. At Jade Mountain Health in Boulder, it is commonly used alongside acupuncture to help with fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, digestive weakness, and recovery from injury. This article explains how moxibustion works, when it is used, and what patients can expect during treatment.

Chronic fatigue is one of the most frustrating conditions to experience because standard testing often doesn't explain what you're feeling. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, fatigue isn't a single symptom — it's a pattern involving how the body generates, distributes, and maintains energy. At Jade Mountain Health in Boulder, Andrew Maloney uses acupuncture, moxibustion, and Chinese herbal medicine to identify what's driving low energy and support recovery over time. If you're tired of being tired, we'd love to help.
