Moxibustion is a type of traditional Chinese medicine. It involves burning moxa, a cone or stick made of ground mugwort leaves, on or near your body’s meridians and acupuncture points. Practitioners believe that the resulting heat helps stimulate these points and improves the flow of qi (energy) in your body.
Moxa is a pungent natural herb. The ignited moxa stick or moxa cone is aimed at the acu-points to produce a feeling of mild heat, the degree of which is determined by a warm and cozy feeling. The heat is persistent and penetrates into the muscle, which can achieve the purposes of preventing and treating diseases by warming and dredging meridians. This also promotes Qi flow, Blood circulation and strengthening body energy.
