Start with moxa.

Meet moxa and prepare

Different moxa products handle heat differently. A point name does not tell you how to use the product. Read the instructions for the exact product and method before considering practice.

Before you practise

Fire, smoke, and heat need attention. Do not practise at home during pregnancy, with fever, on damaged skin, where sensation is reduced, or when you may fall asleep. Stop with pain, burning, dizziness or breathing discomfort, and seek appropriate help.

Never ignore smoke alarms or block ventilation. Use only verified instructions for your specific product. Our product-specific home instructions are awaiting qualified review; the learning references remain open.

For severe breathing difficulty, chest pain or another emergency in Australia, call 000. New, severe or worsening symptoms need medical assessment—not a point lookup.
