Teaching
DIY MOXA and clinical moxibustion
Happy to teach versions of this workshop online or in-person
I teach you how to identify mugwort, sustainably forage it and make your own moxa from it. We will go on a foraging walk in your local area and find abundant mugwort to harvest. We will get to know mugwort with all of our senses and learn to prepare moxa with it. We will explore possibilities for using all the whole plant to maximise it’s medicinal gifts.
I can help you to develop your clinical moxa skills and explore different forms of moxa which may be suitable to your practice. I teach different direct and indirect moxibustion methods, as well as looking at ways of using mugwort medicinally without using fire and making smoke (tinctures, balms, poultices). This will be a day of practicing moxa treatment modalities and experiencing the benefits in our own bodies.
This is an opportunity to grow a connection with this plant-based medicine and become more confident about moxibustion in your clinical practice.
TESTIMONIAL FROM A WEBINAR I PRESENTED TO THE COLLEGE OF INTEGRATIVE VETERINARY THERAPIES (2024)
‘ ...refreshingly insightful and extremely practical (derived from own experience rather than just quoting studies and research)...
Today’s webinar definitely inspires me to collect my own Mugwort, grind and prepare the plants and form my own moxa cones (because – why not make your own materials, once in a while 😊).
The content of today’s webinar also rekindled my interest in more practical old traditional methods that help heal more than physical ailments (referring to ‘dreams’ and emotional solutions).’
