Moxa Treatment in Greenville, SC
Moxa Treatment at IHP Greenville — authentic TCM, in-house herbal pharmacy. Dr. Hendry, DAOM, 25+ yrs experience. Call (864) 365-6156.
Moxa treatment — the clinical application of moxibustion — is one of the most deeply therapeutic and historically significant techniques in Traditional Chinese Medicine. At Integrative Health Partners, moxa is selected purposefully for patients with cold-type, deficient, or Yang-deficient patterns — conditions where acupuncture alone is incomplete and warming therapeutic energy is required. Dr. Hendry integrates moxa into comprehensive treatment protocols that match the patient's constitutional pattern.
How Moxa Treatment Works
Moxa treatment options at IHP include moxa stick (indirect, held above points), moxa cone on ginger or salt (classical indirect moxa for digestive and gynecological conditions), needle moxa (cone placed on the needle handle), and Japanese okyu (small rice-grain moxa cones placed on specific points). Each method provides slightly different therapeutic qualities matched to the clinical indication.

Why Dr. Hendry for Moxa Treatment
Dr. Hendry's classical Chinese medicine training — including study of the major classical moxa texts (Bian Que Xin Shu, Zhen Jiu Ju Ying) — gives him a deep understanding of when moxa is indicated and which technique produces the optimal therapeutic response.
