Step into the world of traditional Chinese medicine with moxibustion – a time-honoured practice that uses the warming properties of burning herbs to support the body’s natural balance and energy flow. Practised for thousands of years, moxibustion is valued in many traditional systems for its potential to promote wellbeing and support overall vitality.
The Introduction to Moxibustion Diploma Course offers a comprehensive exploration of this traditional technique, introducing you to its history, philosophical foundations, and methods of application. You’ll learn about different forms of moxibustion, its role in traditional Chinese medicine, and how it is thought to complement other wellness approaches.

The Introduction to Moxibustion Diploma Course begins by introducing what moxibustion is, how it is traditionally believed to work, and explores its historical roots, contemporary applications, and the considerations around its safe use.
As moxibustion is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the course also explores key principles of TCM, including concepts such as Yin-Yang, Qi, meridian pathways, and the five elements, while considering their place within the historical and philosophical frameworks of traditional health systems.
You’ll examine various moxibustion techniques, including both direct and indirect applications, and explore how these methods have been traditionally used to support wellbeing. The course includes an overview of Artemisia (mugwort), the plant commonly used in moxibustion, highlighting its properties and historical uses.
Learners will be introduced to moxibustion points and the theory behind their use, gaining a general understanding of point locations and the traditional associations within TCM practice.
We also cover the practical aspects of working in moxibustion-based settings, including an overview of best practice considerations, client consultations, health and safety principles, and the importance of ongoing professional development. The course offers insights into the different environments in which moxibustion may be practised and its use within complementary health contexts.
