🔥 A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Clinic Prep: Moxa Time!

One important part of preparing for clinic shift is getting our moxa ready. Moxa, short for moxibustion, is a traditional therapy used in Chinese medicine that involves burning the herb mugwort near specific acupuncture points to gently warm and stimulate the body. This warming technique is often used to support circulation, strengthen Qi, and help the body restore balance.

Before treatments begin, our interns carefully prepare their moxa so it’s ready for use during clinic. In this video, see how Alex rolls hers—a skill that takes patience, practice, and a steady hand!

It’s just one of the many hands-on traditions our students learn as they prepare to care for patients in clinic.

✨ Come take a peek behind the scenes of life in acupuncture school.

✨ What sets our Academy apart? ✨

In our newest video, one of our graduates, Gina, sits down with Janet, a faculty member to share an honest conversation about what makes the Academy different from other acupuncture schools.

They share how our foundation in the Five Element tradition shapes not only how students learn — but how they listen, observe, and care. It’s an approach that honors the whole person: body, mind, and spirit.

At the Academy, students are trained to support their patients with intention and presence — through the art of the needle and the warmth of moxa. They learn that technique matters, but so does relationship. That diagnosis is not just clinical — it’s relational. And that healing happens in connection.

It’s the hands-on clinical guidance.
It’s the way faculty model compassionate care.
It’s the community that holds you as you learn to hold others.

🎥 Watch the full conversation and hear directly from those who have lived it.

If you’re exploring acupuncture programs and wondering what makes an education exceptional — this is a must-watch.

✨🔥 Moxa in the Five Element Tradition 🔥✨

Our Class of 2028 has been learning the art of moxa — from understanding its role in the Five Element tradition to carefully hand-rolling it for clinical use.

In Five Element acupuncture, moxa is more than warmth — it’s a way to tonify, restore, and bring gentle vitality back to the body. It requires presence, skill, and intention.

We love watching our students deepen their connection to this medicine — learning not just technique, but the heart behind it. 🌿
