🔥 Moxibustion (Moxa) for Senior Pets 🔥
In this sweet senior Pekingese named Dulce, we are combining acupuncture with moxibustion (moxa), a gentle warming therapy using dried mugwort herb.
The moxa is being applied near Kidney 1 (K1), a grounding acupuncture point traditionally used to support vitality, circulation, and overall energy. In geriatric and debilitated patients, warming this point may help improve comfort, mobility, and quality of life.
The additional needles placed between the toes stimulate Jing-Well points, helping promote the flow of Qi and supporting the body’s natural healing response.
As pets age, they often become colder, weaker, and less active. The gentle warmth of moxa can be especially beneficial for senior pets experiencing chronic weakness, arthritis, or age-related decline.
Sometimes, a little warmth can make a big difference. ❤️🐾
