What is moxibustion?

Moxibustion: traditional form of treatment

Moxibustion is a traditional treatment method. It has been utilized for thousands of years throughout Southeastern Asia. We now use golden moxa cones that are loose. They are produced from dried mugwort. Moxibustion cones are used at acupuncture points or local points. The wound is then healed by our body.

Moxibustion — moxibustion

Historically, moxa cones caused pus or suppuration. They tended to use larger moxa cones at the time. Furthermore, people believed that treatments did not work well in the absence of sores. As a result, they intended to cause suppuration in order to produce therapeutic effects. However, studies show that moxa cones the size of a rice grain or half a rice grain can have beneficial therapeutic effects. They are not unpleasant. As a result, the modern method produces little pus. If you apply it for an extended period of time, it may leave some tiny scars.

It helps boost your energy and restore your natural healing power, according to Dr Namsoo Kim (Gudang), an authority on direct moxibustion. People may feel differently depending on their inner strength. Some will react quickly, while others will take their time.

Moxa treatments may be beneficial to a wide range of people. For example, when people receive chemotherapy for cancer, their immune systems may be weakened. According to research, it boosts red and white blood cells. As a result, patients can continue to receive chemotherapy treatments.

You may want to use moxa as a preventive medicine, especially if your medical expenses are high. You will undoubtedly benefit from daily application on a regular basis.

Dr. Kihyon Sohn, a licensed acupuncture doctor in Beaverton, Oregon, is an expert in moxibustion. He enjoys using Korean acupuncture or moxibustion to provide holistic treatments.

I started seeing Dr. Sohn in late January with variety of complaints related to COVID Long Hauler. I have enjoyed working with Dr. Sohn because he used a combination of herbal and acupuncture to treat me. My problems have not been easy to treat, but he has listened to me and adjusted my treatment accordingly. I am now seeing improvement! Thank you Dr. Sohn.

I got a referral for Dr. Sohn from a friend. I made an appointment with him because I had lingering hip pain, due to an injury to my hip, that was slow to resolve after nearly 4 months. I was skeptical, but I wanted to try anything to resolve the pain so that I could return to my normal activities, especially hiking. I have seen Dr. Sohn 3 times and my hip is already a lot better. Today, I want on a long hike with very steep inclines and I had no pain at all. Dr. Sohn is also very kind and gentle. I think he is very thorough as well. I highly recommend Dr. Sohn.

If you’re looking for an amazing Acupuncturist do yourself a favor and try Dr Kihyon Sohn in Beaverton. I have been suffering from Long Covid for over a year with shortness of breath, etc. My wife is Korean and suggested I try Acupunture so she asked around at the Korean market and was given his name. He is not only a very kind and thoughtful man but he obviously knows what he is doing. His treatments have really helped. He goes the extra mile and really wants to help you get better and you can feel this with every visit. He also mixes Chinese Herbal Meds for you. I didn’t know at the time but later found that his prices are quite reasonable. I also like that his office is convenient to reach and park.

I’ve gone to Dr. Sohn twice for my back pain and I’m already beginning to feel better! Dr. Sohn listens to my problems very sincerely and determines how placement of the needs would be best. His knowledge of the body and his treatment Acupuncture protocol have been extremely beneficial to me and have resulted in both temporary and more permanent improvement of my symptoms. He is very nice and professional as well.

Hello, I have been to this place twice. I went in because my face was a disaster. It was dry, and there was redness showing. But, my first time going, Doctor Sohn was friendly and helping me with what needs to be helped with. I got acupunctures done and I already felt better! Before going into my second appointment, you can already tell a difference. The problem was with the foods that I was eating. A lot of the foods that I eat have dairy in it and have noticed that it is not right for me. So I stopped and it really helped. When I went in the second time, Doctor Sohn had noticed that I had gotten a lot better within the two weeks. I got prescribed herb medicine and currently taking it. I am feeling a lot better than before and really recommend for those that might be having health issues. If you don’t want to get prescribed steroids from a hospital but, want something natural, I really recommend going to a herb doctor like Doctor Sohn.
