Moxibustion
Warming therapy with mugwort; please confirm arrangements and suitability. In box moxibustion the moxa sits inside a wooden box under a towel, so the warmth reaches a wider area for longer.
A hand-held moxa stick and a moxa box differ in reach and duration. The stick is precise over one spot; the box, sitting under a towel, keeps a gentler warmth over a wider area of the lower back or a joint for longer. Which suits depends on the area and on what you find comfortable.
Moxibustion has real contraindications and does not suit everyone. Please tell us about bleeding problems, broken or infected skin, reduced sensation (diabetic neuropathy, for instance), and pregnancy. There is smoke and a distinct smell — that is normal.
In an emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency department. Broken or infected skin over the area, reduced sensation, or pregnancy — tell the practitioner first and let them decide.
Newly added · introductory
Massage and moxibustion are a new line at this address. If you have not been in before there is no need to book a full session to find out — come after work and see. Ask when you call if you want longer.
Please confirm moxibustion arrangements and suitability with the clinic. Mention bleeding problems, broken or infected skin, reduced sensation, or pregnancy first.

Questions before booking ↓
Moxibustion is the broader service name; box moxibustion is one method. This page retains the original comparison of a hand-held stick and a wooden box. A separate box-moxibustion page now provides the clinic photograph and more focused booking questions.
A picture alone does not establish exactly how your appointment will be arranged. Ask which method is offered, who will provide it and what the proposed appointment involves. Then confirm the corresponding fee and time.
The current price information lists a 15-minute moxibustion trial at CAD $20 and hand-held moxibustion at CAD $140. The original hand-held unit is “1.5 sessions”; ask for its actual duration in minutes rather than assuming 90 minutes.
A separate confirmed public price for box moxibustion is not yet available. Ask directly. Also clarify which method the trial uses and whether other services can be arranged during the same visit; separate prices do not automatically form a package.
When looking for moxibustion in East Vancouver, ask about smell, the room and the arrangements as well as viewing photographs. Mention sensitivity to heat or smoke. A branded still-life illustration does not show the exact supplies used for your appointment.
Images distinguish photographs from AI-assisted illustrations. Historical photographs show the clinic’s earlier Kingsway premises. Today’s moxibustion appointments are at the Victoria Drive address, with the currently confirmed service and provider.
PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
The existing information describes hand-held and box moxibustion. Read the descriptions, then confirm the service and provider available for your appointment. Do not assume every option is available without arranging it first.
Box-moxibustion details →The equipment and arrangements differ: one uses a hand-held stick and the other a moxa box. The original comparison remains on this page. Ask about the proposed placement, timing and method rather than deciding suitability from the name alone.
Equipment and arrangements →Mention the method you want to discuss, your reason for asking and any sensitivity to heat or smoke. Ask about the provider, process and room before confirming an arrangement. The original cautions remain on this page.
Preparing for a visit →The existing moxibustion information describes smoke and a distinctive smell. If this matters to you, raise it before booking and ask about the actual environment. A tidy-looking photograph does not establish a smoke-free service.
Visit and contact →The listed trial is CAD $20 for 15 minutes. Confirm the method, contents and applicable taxes. This trial fee is not the price of every moxibustion service.
Current fees →That conversion has not been confirmed. The original unit is 1.5 sessions and the hand-held quote is CAD $140. Ask for the actual duration and arrangements. Confirm box-moxibustion timing and fees separately.
Fees and units →Mention that preference first so the clinic can confirm suitability, providers and scheduling. It is not an automatic website package; the contents, timing and fee of each service should be explained in advance.
Acupuncture →The current address is 6529 Victoria Drive, Vancouver, near East 49th Avenue. Clinic hours are Monday–Sunday, 10:00–19:30; confirm the provider and individual time. Parking is beside and behind the shop, subject to availability.
