The Magic of Moxa, Free Event in Brookfield

Learn how to treat yourself with Moxibustion at home to extend your treatment results on  Wednesday, July 18 from 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm at SOPHIA Natural Health Center, 31 Old Route 7, Brookfield. This is a free event.

Join Dr.Kenneth Hoffman, DACM, Medical Director of SOPHIA Natural Health Center and Christopher Maslowski, L.Ac., Associate Acupuncturist, for an informative and “hands-on” workshop on the art and practice of Moxibustion.

Moxibustion is a Traditional Chinese Medicine therapy which consists of burning dried Mugwort herb on particular points on the body. It creates localized warmth around the acupuncture points but is not painful.  Moxibustion is in itself a separate medical practice that helps stimulate the flow of vital energy known as qi and helps reinforce the flow of blood flow in the body. It can enhance well-being, circulation, and improve the immune system. In modern hospital systems in China, patients are not only treated in the hospital with Moxibustion but taught home-care techniques as well.

In this workshop, we will present the modern research on Moxibustion, demonstrate the different applications and techniques of usage, and allow attendees to participate and try the techniques. For that reason, please bring a friend or relative! Different forms of Moxibustion     
applications will be available for sale at the workshop.

NOTE: Burning of Moxibustion creates a very organic, smoky odor similar to hemp. If you have any aversion to smoke or strong odors, you should not attend this workshop.
