We are a Community Acupuncture & Holistic Health Collective in the heart of Lekwungen Territories (Downtown Victoria, BC).
Post-COVID/Viral Recovery Moxa Kits
We wanted to offer a simple way to boost immunity and relieve some of the debilitating symptoms of long COVID.
Chinese style moxabustion or “moxa” consists of mugwort (Artemesia vulgaris) rolled into a cigar-like stick. It has been traditionally used on specific acupuncture points during the changes of season to boost immunity and prevent illnesses such as the common cold and flu.

Kits as well as individual moxa sticks are available in our lobby!
