Service Description
Gluteal (Hip) Moxibustion: Therapeutic Applications Gluteal moxibustion is a targeted therapy in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that involves applying heat from moxa to key acupoints on and around the hips and sacrum. This area is rich with important meridians, particularly the Urinary Bladder Meridian and the Governing Vessel (Du Mai), which are crucial for Yang energy and overall vitality. The primary TCM functions of gluteal moxibustion are to warm and unblock the meridians, expel cold and dampness, strongly tonify Yang energy, and invigorate the circulation of Qi and blood in the lower back and pelvic region. Here are the primary categories of diseases and conditions it is commonly used for: 1. Musculoskeletal Disorders of the Lower Back and Hips This is the most direct and common application. The deep warmth helps to relax tendons and relieve pain. Chronic Lower Back Pain: Especially pain that feels worse with cold and improves with warmth.

Dysmenorrhea (Painful Periods): Particularly effective for cramps that are relieved by heat (cold-type dysmenorrhea). Irregular Menstruation. Uterine Fibroids and Ovarian Cysts (as a supportive therapy to manage symptoms, based on TCM patterns of stagnation and cold). Infertility associated with a "Cold Uterus" or Yang deficiency pattern. Leukorrhea (abnormal vaginal discharge) of a clear, cold type. 3. Male Reproductive and Urological Issues The treatment tonifies the Kidney Yang, which is fundamental to male reproductive health. Impotence (Erectile Dysfunction) due to Kidney Yang deficiency. Frequent Urination and Nocturia (waking up at night to urinate). Chronic Prostatitis (as a supportive therapy to alleviate pelvic discomfort and stagnation). 4. Digestive Disorders The lower back is considered the "back" of the digestive system in TCM. Warming this area can strengthen digestive fire. Chronic Diarrhea and Loose Stools caused by Spleen and Kidney Yang deficiency. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) with diarrhea-predominant symptoms. 5.
