Moxibustion温灸疗法

Warmth that由内 works inward暖起来

Moxibustion (艾灸) and mud moxibustion (泥灸) are the two warming treatments we offer alongside Bojin. Both use herbal heat rather than pressure — which makes them the gentler option when the body is tired, cold or simply not up to hands-on work that day.艾灸与泥灸,是我们在拨筋之外的两项温热疗程。它们靠的是药材的温度,而不是力道 —— 所以当身体特别疲惫、怕冷,或那天不太适合接受手法时,这两项会是比较温和的选择。

Two treatments两种做法

Moxibustion and mud moxibustion艾灸与泥灸

They share the same idea — warm the area so circulation can do its work — but they get there differently.出发点是同一个 —— 把部位温起来,让循环自己运作 —— 但达成的方式不同。

Moxibustion — 艾灸艾灸

A herbal base is laid over the area first, then lit moxa (mugwort) sticks are held a little above the skin. The stick never touches you — what reaches you is steady, dry, radiant heat. You feel it as a deep warmth that settles rather than a hot spot.先在施作部位铺上药材底座,再把点燃的艾条悬在皮肤上方一点的位置。艾条不会碰到身体 —— 传过来的是稳定、干爽的辐射热。感觉是一种慢慢沉下去的暖,而不是某一点很烫。

Mud moxibustion — 泥灸泥灸

A herbal mud is warmed, then spread over the whole area and left to sit while you rest. Because it covers rather than points, the heat is broader and holds far longer. Most guests find this the more relaxing of the two — a lot of people fall asleep.药泥加温后,整片敷在施作部位,敷着让您休息。因为是覆盖而不是对点,热度范围更广、也留得久很多。多数客人觉得这项比较放松 —— 很多人敷着敷着就睡着了。

  • Covers a whole area, not single points覆盖整片部位,不是单点
  • Holds its heat for much longer保温时间长很多
  • No smoke — a good choice if moxa smoke bothers you没有烟 —— 不习惯艾烟的人适合这项
Choosing怎么选

Which one suits you哪一项比较适合您

  • You want specific points worked — moxibustion. The heat is directed.
  • You want the whole area warm and to switch off — mud moxibustion.
  • Smoke bothers you, or you are going somewhere after — mud moxibustion. Moxa has a distinct herbal smell that lingers on clothes and hair.
  • You are cold-handed, cold-footed, always feel the air-con — either. This is what warming treatments are for.
  • You are not sure — tell us how you feel when you arrive and the therapist will suggest one. You are not locked in.

Both can also follow a Bojin session rather than replace it — Bojin first to release, warmth after to settle. Ask us and we will tell you whether that makes sense for you on the day.

  • 想处理特定穴位 —— 艾灸。热度是有方向性的。
  • 想整片暖起来、什么都不想 —— 泥灸。
  • 不习惯烟味,或做完还要去别的地方 —— 泥灸。艾条的药草味会留在衣服和头发上。
  • 手脚冰冷、很怕冷气 —— 两项都可以,温灸本来就是为这个而做的。
  • 不确定 —— 到店时告诉我们您的状况,理疗师会建议一项。不必先决定。

这两项也可以接在拨筋之后,而不是二选一 —— 先拨筋疏通,再用温度收尾。您可以问我们,当天的状况适不适合这样安排。

Session length & price时长与价格

Ask us — it depends on the area直接问我们 —— 看部位而定

We would rather quote you properly than put a number here that turns out to be wrong for what you actually need. How long a session runs, and what it costs, depends on the area being treated and whether it is on its own or added to another treatment. Send us one message and we will tell you exactly — there is no obligation and no package to sign.与其在这里写一个数字、结果跟您实际需要的对不上,我们宁可当面报清楚。一次做多久、多少钱,要看施作的部位,也看是单独做还是搭配其他疗程。传一则讯息给我们,我们会直接告诉您 —— 不必先答应什么,也没有配套要签。

Before you book预约之前

Please tell us if any of these apply有以下情况请先告诉我们

Both treatments involve sustained heat. That rules a few situations out, and we would rather find out before you are on the table.这两项都牵涉到持续的热度。有几种情况并不适合,我们希望在您躺上床之前就知道。

  • You are pregnant, or think you might be
  • You have reduced sensation in the area — including from diabetes — so you may not feel heat building
  • Broken skin, a rash, eczema, sunburn or a recent wound on the area
  • You are running a fever, or are unwell today
  • You have had surgery recently, or have an implant or metal in the area
  • You are on medication that affects how your skin reacts, or thins the blood
  • You have had alcohol today
  • Asthma or anything that makes smoke a problem — say so and we will steer you to mud rather than moxa

If you are managing a medical condition, please check with your doctor first and tell your therapist when you arrive. This is a wellness treatment. It is not medical treatment and it does not treat or cure any condition — we will never tell you otherwise.

  • 怀孕,或可能怀孕
  • 施作部位感觉迟钝(包括糖尿病造成的)—— 可能感觉不到温度在累积
  • 该部位有伤口、破皮、疹子、湿疹或晒伤
  • 正在发烧,或今天身体不舒服
  • 近期动过手术,或该部位有植入物、金属
  • 正在服用会影响皮肤反应或稀释血液的药物
  • 今天喝过酒
  • 有气喘或对烟敏感 —— 告诉我们,我们会建议做泥灸而不是艾灸

如果您正在处理任何身体状况,请先询问医生,并在到店时告诉理疗师。这是养生调理,不是医疗行为,也不能治疗或治愈任何疾病 —— 我们绝不会这样跟您说。

FAQ

Common questions常见问题

Does it burn or hurt?会烫到吗?会痛吗?
It should not. The moxa stick is held above the skin, never on it, and your therapist adjusts the distance the whole way through. You should feel a comfortable, deep warmth. If it ever crosses from warm into hot, say so straight away and we will move it — that is the only thing we need from you.不应该。艾条是悬在皮肤上方,不会接触皮肤,理疗师全程都在调整距离。您应该感觉到的是舒服、往内渗的温热。如果任何时候从「暖」变成「烫」,请立刻说,我们会马上移开 —— 这是我们唯一需要您配合的事。
How much is it and how long does a session take?要多少钱?一次做多久?
It depends on the area and whether it is on its own or added to another treatment, so we quote it properly rather than posting one number. Message us on WhatsApp and we will tell you exactly.要看施作部位,也看是单独做还是搭配其他疗程,所以我们宁可跟您报清楚,也不想在网页上写死一个数字。WhatsApp 传讯息给我们,我们会直接告诉您。
Will I smell of smoke afterwards?做完身上会有烟味吗?
After moxibustion, a little — mugwort has a distinct herbal smell and it does linger on hair and clothes for a while. If you are going back to the office or out afterwards, mud moxibustion is the better pick: no smoke at all.做艾灸会有一点 —— 艾草的味道很有特色,会在头发和衣服上留一阵子。如果做完要回公司或还有行程,泥灸比较适合:完全没有烟。
Can I do it together with Bojin?可以跟拨筋一起做吗?
Often yes, and a lot of guests prefer it that way — Bojin to release, then warmth to settle. Whether it suits you on the day depends on how your skin has responded, so let the therapist look first.通常可以,而且不少客人喜欢这样安排 —— 先拨筋疏通,再用温度收尾。当天适不适合,要看您皮肤的反应,所以先让理疗师看一下。
Is there any downtime?做完需要恢复期吗?
No. You can go straight back to your day. Some warmth or light pinkness on the area is normal and settles on its own. Drink water, and give heavy meals and alcohol a miss for a few hours.不需要,做完就能继续行程。施作部位有温热感或轻微泛红是正常的,会自行消退。多喝水,几个小时内先避开大餐和酒。
