Targeted Moxibustion

for Fatigue Relief in Boulder

Fatigue isn’t just “being tired.” It’s the heavy, unrefreshed feeling that makes everyday tasks feel uphill—especially at elevation along Colorado’s Front Range. Moxibustion (or “moxa”) is a time‑tested therapy used within East Asian Medicine that gently warms specific acupuncture points with refined mugwort. At Jade Mountain Health in Boulder, we use moxa to help rekindle your body’s natural vitality, so you can meet work, family, and outdoor life with steady, sustainable energy.

How Moxibustion May Help with Fatigue and Low Energy

From an East Asian perspective, fatigue can reflect a depletion or stagnation of the body’s core resources. Moxa’s penetrating warmth is used to:

  • Encourage smooth circulation and micro‑circulation

  • Support digestive and metabolic function that underpins day‑to‑day energy

  • Calm the nervous system and improve sleep quality—two pillars of daytime focus

  • Soothe achy, heavy limbs after long days or altitude‑induced weariness
    While everyone responds differently, many clients in Boulder County report feeling “clearer,” warmer, and more grounded after a series of sessions.

What to Expect at Jade Mountain Health

Your first appointment at our Boulder clinic includes a thorough intake covering health history, daily habits, and specific energy challenges (brain fog, afternoon crashes, post‑activity slump). We’ll create a personalized plan that may blend gentle acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, and targeted lifestyle guidance. 

During moxa, you’ll rest comfortably while a practitioner applies warming cones or a smokeless moxa stick above the skin. Most people describe the sensation as deeply comforting—like sunshine on a cool day in the foothills.

Who Benefits from Moxa for Fatigue?

Residents of Boulder, Louisville, Lafayette, Longmont, and the broader Front Range who experience:

  • Persistent low energy despite adequate sleep

  • Post‑effort exhaustion after hikes, rides, or ski days

  • Seasonal dips in motivation

  • Cold hands/feet accompanied by sluggishness

  • Stress‑related fatigue from long workdays or caregiving
    We also coordinate with your existing care team when appropriate. Moxa is a complementary therapy and does not replace medical evaluation for new or worsening fatigue.

Your Care Plan: Frequency & Timeline

Most clients begin with weekly visits for 3–6 weeks, then taper to maintenance as energy stabilizes. We’ll track your progress with simple metrics: morning alertness, afternoon stamina, exercise recovery, and quality of sleep. Our goal is consistent, durable energy—not a short‑lived boost.
